robot engineer

i remember being deeply obsessed with robots when i was 5/6 and i was like waiiitttt i could totally make robots… mainly cause i thought wait this is like toys but better…other transient profession ideas i had included working at the cash register (not just generally in a store but specifically that), hairdresser, “professional activist”, athlete (unspecified), a higher-up in an insurance company, screenwriter (included a detailed plan of moving to hollywood and establishing myself in the industry), theoretical physicist, perfume maker, and journalist. now im studying biomed 🫦. i only got interested in biology in 8th grade when we got a better teacher which just really goes to show how important good teachers are!!! i wanna get a phd in immunology or virology now 🤓

My previous answer to this question

Linked 🫶 I’ll add that somewhere around the Greenpeace ambition I wanted to be a newscaster. My third grade teacher told me I couldn’t be in Greenpeace because they are “TERRORISTS” 🙄

unplatform - a guide for leaving social media

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post. it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library. additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!
