✨ 👋 Dutch queer person (they/he) | I like taking to people online

  • Best of luck with everything! Seems like a lot to take on at once but I believe in you <3

  • Cool :)

  • Good news! Was curious to see how this panned out, and apparently it did in the best possible way.

  • Sorry to hear you didn't feel at home in NL but honestly I completely understand. Best of luck with the move!

  • Palantir flag incoming

  • Yes yes yes preach it!!

    Don't forget OP, your friends can be wrong (even if they mean well) and NO one can tell you who you are or what your gender is except for yourself. How you feel inside is valid. If you don't quite know for sure how you feel yet, that's also valid. And who knows, they'll probably come around to the idea of you being nonbinary once you grow more confident in your gender and radiate it into the world in an undeniable fashion 💜💛🤍🖤🩵🤍🩷

  • Thank you! I start in March so I still have a month to chill (finally).

  • Landed a job finally, just waiting for the contract to come in. I managed to negotiate additional salary as well so I'm very proud of myself :)))

  • Welcome, new academia dropout! Trust me, it's better this way. I'm sorry to hear you had to deal with hubris and narcissism. Not surprisingly also my least favourite part about it and indirectly the reason I ended up quitting my PhD.

    My supervisors were a married couple and all my work was rated facing a team of 2 people who would always take each other's side and were never open to hearing my perspective on my own work. The graduate school later informed me they never should have been my only supervisors. Yay for paying it forward I guess.

    Anyway, it might still be a little fresh but when applying for positions outside of academia, start thinking about how to phrase your challenges or hangups there as avenues for personal growth. Corporate loves that shit.

    Good luck out there!

  • I went from oneplus 6 to nothing phone 1, which is alright. Sadly some friends bought the nothing phone 2 after I recommended the brand and they both don't like it. After this I'll probably move to fairphone if I can afford it at that time

  • Aww great to hear. Exciting times coming up it seems :)

  • Thanks a lot for the offer! Actually we just had the second session this evening and it was better. Just wish there were more queer oriented courses out there but this one will be fine overall I think. I'll let you know if we're interested at a later time.

    How's your kiddo doing?

  • Still job hunting, still practicing sewing.

    My wife and I started a birthing course last week and holy fuck if that isn't a slap in the face from the patriarchy. Took all our energy not to eye roll at the heteronormativity and misogyny in literally every comment by a man in the room. Big 'I hate my wife' energy which really makes you think well why are you all here then? Which sucks because I'd really hope to learn from other couples experiences but alas the straights typically have little to offer.

  • Thank you :)

  • Don't think Ive said this here yet but my wife and I are expecting a baby end of May this year (2026) :)))

    I've been practicing sewing and gonna try to make some baby clothes this week 😊😊

    Happy holidays ❤️🎄

  • I'm alright I think.

    Trying to find a job still but applications are looking pretty good at the moment for once! I'm currently on my way to a final interview for a decent position. It's an AI engineer role at a consultancy company, so doesn't really meet my usual requirement of doing work that doesn't actively make the world a worse place. But.. after applying for 3 months at different morally justifiable places that have no interest in hiring me, well, a girl needs to eat.

    I have some other job opportunities lined up that could also be fine so things might be looking up soon. I'm just looking forward to start the new year employed.

  • This seems insanely biased? Placing e.g. Israel who's acrively committing war crimes and colonising Palestine above a country that's just vibing like Timor-Leste?

    This reads like a ranking of western-ness, not 'good'-ness.
