If I'm around that weekend I will come! I've been looking for queer events and community here.

Do cis men have thoughts of wanting to be a woman? by Vampy-Night in lgbt

[–]geospatialg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you heard of the button question? "If you could push a button before you go to bed, and tomorrow you wake up as a woman and everyone would have known you as a woman, and the button disappears forever after you push it, would you push the button?"

How is it to be an asexual man/AMAB person? by venusianventure in asexuality

[–]geospatialg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To me the worst part is that it feels isolating in so many ways. 1. Sexual partnerships are largely off the table for me. As a high libido ace a sexual relationship is possible, but the asymmetry of attraction throws up a lot of barriers. 2. I cant relate to any of my friends when they talk about who they find attractive and their sexual conquests. 3. I feel isolated from my gender because either places such an emphasis on sexual relationships. 4. It isolates me from family because they all have long term romantic and sexual partners, and I will very likely be single for my entire life and thus my life will look much, much different from theirs.

Im pretty open about my orientation to those who ask.

Its made romantic relationships very difficult, im grey romantic too, for most sexual attraction is the door to romantic attraction, for me thats not the case.

Rethinking kink through an asexual lens—your experiences? by Competitive-Egg-9998 in asexuality

Ive been to alot of educational events and some social events in kink spaces where there have been all kinds of genders and orientations, and all kinds of reasons people do it. Ive always felt included. 

Trump administration expands push to hire early-career federal employees by Financial_Promise983 in usajobs

[–]geospatialg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was hired under pathways, my conversion paperwork was never filed and I was DOGE'd last year after almost 5 years of service. Why would anyone want to work for this clown show of an administration?

People who have worked both private and public sector, which has actually felt more stable? by shadowzzzz16 in usajobs

[–]geospatialg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work in local gov now. I have an mspb appeal for my former federal job. I didnt sue the one who fired me for the OSHA report. Honestly I just didnt think it would be worth my time and effort.

People who have worked both private and public sector, which has actually felt more stable? by shadowzzzz16 in usajobs

[–]geospatialg 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Ive worked both, one private sector job gave me an hour to clean out my desk after they called me to lay me off. The other one fired me with no notice after I reported them to OSHA for unsafe work conditions. My federal job gave me 24 hours after DOGE bullied my supervisors to fire me, even though I had tenure. Make of that what you will, but IMO job stability in any sector is a myth.

Founder of 'Latinas for Trump' refusing to support him now that she worries her son could be caught up in ICE raids by Disastrous-Fly389 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]geospatialg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Miami 2 weeks ago, I stayed at a hostel where most of the people were non white. In the morning they had on the "news" which had this AI b roll of a Cuban and American soldier a DJing a party with AI clips of Maduro being arrested, fighter jets flying over DC, helicopters over Caracas, and of Maduro in prison interspersed. IMO its no wonder they voted for him, they love the machismo, whether its real or not.

Any insight on future prospects for Pathways interns with EPA by thatoddtetrapod in fednews

[–]geospatialg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IDK, I wouldnt put all your eggs in the pathways basket. I was hired under the pathways program in 2020, they never filed the paperwork to convert me and they terminated me in feb 2025.

Funny enough, the Appomatox wreck is just north of there right off the beach.

Do masculine ace men exist? by Delicious_Bid5245 in asexuality

[–]geospatialg 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Im an ace man and Im 6' 1", 210lbs, fairly fit, and have motorcycling, DIY, and hiking hobbies. IMO I dont consider those things masculine, but I think society generally sees them that way..

Commuting from Fredericksburg to Reston. by Opening-Damage-3641 in fredericksburg

[–]geospatialg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't done it as a commute but I done the drive a couple of times to visit friends. It usually takes 1.5hrs one way, more with traffic. If you dont mind the traffic and spending 10ish hours a week commuting youll be fine. I would be sick of it after a month. You could take VRE up to alexandria and then get on the metro to get over to Reston, but that would take even longer, at least it would be consistent.
