Educated in psychology and earth systems, experienced polar and mountain researcher / operator.

..or you can hire me.
See you in the mountains, or on the trails.

...just staccato bursts of fear, negativity and big important sounding words with people wearing the cosplay of respectability. All the tropes reinforced. Interspersed with shiny distractions.
Too distracting and jumpy to analyse correctly, playing hard on the quickest most reflexive response and working to ensure that the reflexive response is white, patriarchal, colonial.
It is abusive manipulation.
Fog delayed flight out of Bendigo...
...in airports I see "normal" news and omfg is it ever a stream of the worst, most regressive, most breathlessly hyperventilated, substance-free takes on everything.
Mainstream media needs to be disbanded.
Hey Fedi, I need help again.
I'm still unemployed, and trying to fix that, but I still have rent and bills, and next week is particularly rough.
I have a phone/internet bill due on the 16th ($150), a water bill due on the 19th ($250), and then rent at the end of the week ($500). I can probably be a little late on the water bill if I have to, but I can't risk the phone/internet (I need them to get a job) or the rent (because life).
So I need about $900 in total. Please help if you can, or boost if you can't.
I'm sorry I keep begging, I've run out of stuff to sell that wouldn't put me in a worse position without it, and just don't know what else to do.
On the other hand, if you know anywhere looking to hire a C developer, Javascript developer, webdev, unix sysadmin, storeperson, cleaner, dishwasher or whatever, either remotely or in Brisbane Australia, let me know? Even just once-off odd-jobs would do for now.
If you can help financially though, that'd be huge. Thankyou.
50/900

...last day of hosing the underside of trains for a while 🙌.
...packing for Brisbane aerial survey work tomorrow (3 week shift, probably not all in Brisbane)
...found a secondhand wing paddle for a non insane price (rare!), bought it, went for a kayak. It's good! Although technically demanding. Gonna be honing technique or swimming 🤣
Not a phone in sight, just living in the moment ⚔️
Just so we are all clear and to reiterate a position I've held for decades - this is a hill I will die on:
Doctoral candidates are not students.
If this is the case for you, what are you failing people at in undergrad and honours/masters levels - the prerequisites to doctoral candidature?
@jimbob the first mistake is "student". Who is the student when you're teaching your advisors (who have been your peers for years) about what is going on? Not sure about what is happening in undergrad these days, we learned how to read papers and write papers back then...
And I don't see any academics working for the passion....
@SeaFury I was the opposite. After a few months my advisor team said well youre way beyond us now let us know how its going and if you need help...
...I had already 2 solid years and 2 expeditions experience and a couple of papers before starting...
And I totally agree about extensions etc. It's not meant to be a psychologically damaging experience.
@SeaFury yah idk. I did 4.5 FTE while parenting, being a main income earner, and eventually working full time as a bicycle mechanic for two years. Oh btw we didn't have data to tell the story properly until year 3.
UTAS are just insane. Even their rockstar fully supported folx take longer than 3yr.
Yeah I don't know how old you are, but all of the world's "problems" that have been going on for your whole life, the problems world leaders have been "trying to solve" are never going to be solved because frankly, nobody's trying one whit to "solve" problems they fucking profit from.
Until we eat them all, nothing's going to change except for the worst.
Every extra mile you make employees drive to the office is one they don’t put into their work efforts.
A thought stream which used to be full of clever references to Andor and then I got tired of researching every damn thing and just typed.
Revolutions are built on doing the work. What's the work? whatever you're capable of right now. IDK doing dishes. Telling bosses no.Hard things. Small things. Any things.

boop beep another job rejection today.
Since winter is coming have a photo of me doing stuff I'm not qualified for and have no experience at doing according to employers now 🤷
Having spent 3 years negotiating for time and equipment, here I am doing the first application of a robotic total station to create floe-local drifting coordinate systems and georeference everything on East Antarctic pack ice. Part of the #SIPEX2012 expedition.
I still don't have a job, or even another interview, and I need to beg for money again, even more because bills as well as rent, and I don't want to keep doing this, but there's no other way I can think of. One of these job applications has to stick eventually.
Here's my very important open data morning freestyle:
I don't want your fancy pipeline
Hand me a simple text file
No need for a bloated workflow
I'm in for a low tech game show
That's it, thanks for your attention. Now I'll add a bunch of hashtags, and you can get on with your day, which I hope will be as sweet as pleasant.

@jimbob ...all very good practices btw...
...would actually be cool if we taught them in "how to computer", like "ok you want a computer here are the basics before you can have one"
I hope the point is clear 🤞🤞
@jimbob 😬
"just use linux" right?
...first teach people how to separate your OS partition from *everything else*
...next teach how to make a bootable USB
..then assume every OS update could end in a wipe clean and reinstall...
...and still end up in graphics driver labyrinths!
The company I enjoy working for has two open positions we're hiring for: Senior Front End Engineer and Senior Full Stack Engineer.
We're an Australian EduTech company building a product our student and teacher customers tell us they enjoy using.
The roles are Australian-Remote. The office is in Sydney but there's team members all over Australia. Applicants must hold Australian working rights.
The details are in the job postings, but if you have any questions feel free to ask me any questions publicly or via DM.
If you are not a software engineer but have some in your network, please boost for visibility! I'd love to work with cool fedi people! We have successfully hired from the fedi, so I know it's possible!
