Some part of me wonders if I should dust off my LinkedIn and prepare for an unplanned career course change.
The cynical part of me thinks it's going to be fierce in the job market, if #highereducation goes through an intense purge to cut #budgets to available funding. It's going to be everyone all at once.
People also seem to be postponing #retirement since there is doubt cast on social security benefits longevity.

From the article: "An irrefutable reality of being a member of the LGBTQ community, at any age, is that you must give more thought than non-LGBTQ people about where to live. What are the local laws that apply to LGBTQ people regarding workplace and housing discrimination, marriage equality and conversion therapy? What does available public polling reveal about acceptance of the LGBTQ community? Even if you’re not married and don’t plan to be, or even if you no longer work, such laws — or the absence of them — suggest to LGBTQ folks how safe and welcoming the locale will be for them."

I knew I needed to be prepared for a stock market downturn sometime after I retired. But I was kind of hoping one wouldn't happen the *first* year I stopped working. . . .

Ah, the dramatic exit of the *ArcoLinux University* — because nothing screams "meaningful legacy" like reminiscing about *install scripts* and the *good ol' days* of obscure distros.

*Assuming the US Social Security system still exists next fall*
The inflationary effects of Trump’s tariffs will factor into the 2026 Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment, and the mandated increase will be higher than expected.
