I cannot recommend enough replacing a lot of your normal news consumption with Fix The News, a newsletter focused on serious, deep good news from across a broad swathe of human achievement. We can’t and shouldn’t ignore bad news, but this really helps give me perspective.

There’s a gorgeous, synth-y track I love from this producer and singer-songwriter. My own time playing with synths, and loosely studying music composition, means that I can hear the minor difference between the demo and the recently released streaming version. This is so rewarding!

There was a time in my life when I felt extremely bad asking for help, but that time is well past. The government is actively trying to kill my kid, and I would like a little support as I get us (including my ex-wife and her partner) to safety. Thanks! gofund.me/60443e5c

We’ve forgotten how. No, really, this was my profession for years. And instead of dedicating resources to the craft of making great, custom software you love Companies like Sonos are leading the way to cross-platform garbage apps that barely work at all, even as it destroys their businesses

I got laid off suddenly and I'm looking for a new gig — remote or Denver based data scientist/ML engineer roles I'm good enough at coding to not break prod and good enough at humans that I used to be a therapist Reach out via the email on the resume I've linked below or DM with leads, thank you!!

Because such things are necessary, a non-exhaustive list of what’s currently bringing me joy: - learning to use my Roland S-1 tweak synthesizer - the feral cat I adopted who loves when I sing to her - sunlight (when there is any) You?

One day soon it’s going to be time to talk more about how having the role of “community manager” foisted on me led to disdain for the word community itself, which led to disdain for what arguably makes us most human

I won’t pretend to know what’s going to happen with the TT ban, but I did start my tech career running a marketplace where small business owners got paid And there’s a physics to messing with solopreneurs income I don’t think anyone pulling the strings on these policies has priced in

I am going to say something radically optimistic: The ONLY way we get through this is by countering individualism with enduring community. And I believe that most people want to be in communities that care for each other.
