I was in the copy room one morning and a fellow teacher came up to me and whispered that her friend saw me on Grindr. I played it cool and she said "we have lives outside of school" but it was weird.

I did feel weird about it but in the moment I laughed it off. But there were so many questions. Like, who is your friend, why do you know about this, just so much. This teacher is also LGBTQ+ but still didn't take away from that awkward feeling.

Hi all,

I am data engineer with 3.8 YOE. I have offers from Accenture (11.5), tcs (11 LPA), wipro (14 LPA) and Publicis sapient (15 LPA).

Now I'm not so good at coding.

But confused bw
-->joining sapient for the sheer fact they would give me a big data project for sure but I fear that they may fire me for my sub par coding skills.

--> joining wipro for the job security, but fear thay if I don't find any big data projects, they may put me in testing/support.

Can someone help in choosing ?

This past week I got an envelope hand delivered to me by a student I do not teach. In it was a trans pin she had bought for me, as well as a drawing and a letter of thanks.

Again, this is not my student, but I think this speaks to the power of visibility. Students need to know we are members of society. All I did was wear my own trans pin and “love is love” pin on my lanyard, and my trans flag mask (occasionally).

But for that student it was enough.

I have a rather long question. If I run out of space, I will continue in the first comment. I sponsor a GSA. There is a trans student who is always making sardonic comments in inappropriate times. We were talking recently, and every time a student bared their soul, this kid would make a joke out of it. The students who were speaking felt that they were not heard, and all of the attention was focused on this trans student.

I don’t want the backlash of the community either since the area I teach in is really rural. Just sad I guess.
