Well, that's a first. Today I was part of a mass layoff at fly.io.

I guess the only consolation, if you can in fact call it that, is that most of my team seems to have gotten laid off too, including my manager. So it didn't have anything to do with me.

Still processing everything, but I was planning on leaving Texas next year and this definitely messes with those plans.

I'm not anywhere near dire financial straights, so there's that, but as someone with a severe disability I'm used to exploitative employment situations, and Fly wasn't that, so I don't know where I'll look next if I want to avoid the "hire disabled folks because they're desperate" trap.

Gonna keep breathing, taking it one day at a time. That's all I can do right now.
