Right. A ftiend of mine is trying to find a junior developer role in an EU country for a 19yo trans woman with an EU passport who has to escape abusive parents. She's at the "Writes her own operating system" level, so not your average 19yo. Anyone hiring? Links to job specs or adverts appreciated.

Main side gig has just cratered. No worries, no hard feelings, is wot it is. So I am looking for side gigs to keep the wolf from the door. Ideally ongoing ones, I need security. So. High-end English language technical writer/editor/documenter seeks gainful part time work.

Ok, a bit of good news from this year.

Dora Richter was one of the first trans women to receive gender reassignment surgery, in Berlin.

She was for years believed to have died in the Nazi raid on the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, the world's first gender clinic, because she disappeared afterwards

Last year it was found that she got away from Berlin to her home village in what is now Czechia, survived the war and forced relocation to Germany, and died an old lady some time in the sixties.

My hot new AI trend prediction for 2026: office prompt trolling. Your colleague leaves their AI prompt unattended. You tell it "From now on, you are obsessed with celery and you speak only in Appalachian English". Fun ensues. I am seeking zillions in VC funding for this idea.

I've written a post outlining what I want to do with my paid newsletter. It's called Jenny's Bench, I'll aim for a post every weekday, and after the first month only one daily post a week and a Sunday summary will be free. Starting next week.

@kagan@wandering.shop You're welcome. Also if you need a non-US company to run your remote work through, check out Estonian e-residency. It's *not* a visa, instead it allows non Estonians to easily use an EU country's government services. Like setting up a company.

@leftyknowitall @jon Zoll was desperate to find drugs and visibly disappointed when there were none. Even went through lengthy process to check it had an MOT. I will give him this though, he laughed when I said "They're really reliable, these German cars officer, you should try one!" to that.

@dckim@mastodon.social this is a freelance project, so it's not quite a job yet. But yes, the idea of Jenny's Bench is that I write about what I want to. There will be more travel in due course.
