Agreed with Gillian here. If you called your Senator (or didn't) to tell them to vote against a trans sports ban, it's important that you also call them and thank them for their vote. NO Democrat broke on this. myreps.datamade.us

So proud of my friends and their colleagues who chose to be in service to the American people, building things to make gov websites better for all of us. All the fuckers who shut them down know how to do is break stuff. I'll bet on the builders. ✊✊✊

Second print’s progress tonight. I’ve been stuck on this one for awhile, so hopefully adding a layer gets me back in my groove with it.

Tonight’s progress on my first print. I somehow carved and printed both blocks tonight, which is insanely fast since this is a slow slow art.

Today’s kids birthday party was a questionably refreshing change from the recent norm: “more omfg it’s cold and windy”, “why are we outside” and less “oh I’m not sleeping either” or an audit of who remains employed. I can’t understate how strange it is in the DC area right now.

Same. If you take away mentorship and community encouragement/support I would have given up a long time ago, not just in WordPress, but in a technical career altogether.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

My favorite part of this being the massive impact of an Etsy shop primarily selling fish themed stickers that also has found a niche in stickers for Tesla owners who are trying to advertise that they themselves are not fascists.

Having your own website is not going to fix democracy, or capitalism, but it makes a political statement. It says "I want to carve my own space on the web" and I think this is a radical act. It was when I originally said this in 2022, and I mean it even more today. localghost.dev/blog/this-pa...

Kudos to these staffers. Those of us who work with and in technology have a responsibility in regards to our skills. I hope all 21 get snapped up quick by employers who value integrity.

Is the highest form of learning to tell jokes planting a non-joke? Kid: What do you do if there is a polar bear in your bed? Me: Run?! Kid: Get a hotel for the night! There’s no punch line there!

Dear Senator Warner, You’re completely glossing over the fact that Musk has no legal authority here. Why do you continue to make excuses for them? As your constituent, I’ve been disappointed in your repeated behaviors that enable fascism lately. Do better. Resist fascism, don’t explain it away.

My obsession with color continues... OKLCH offers "30% more new colors that you can use that are human perceivable comparing to RGB" and major browsers are at a 93.1% adoption rate. Buckle up, buttercup. desktopofsamuel.com/oklch-explai...

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Note: the science was there BEFORE Texas banned abortion. Abortion is technically the treatment for miscarriages that do not "clear" on their own. If dead fetal matter remains inside a living woman's body, sepsis and danger to HER life is the logical end. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/h...

Did you know the term “emotional labor” originated in a footnote in a section of a sociologists book about the labor required of flight attendants? Me neither.

“The anti-war movement and the Civil Rights Movement […] depended on a mass mobilization of all of us who accepted the responsibilities of being American. We will prevail because we are relearning the basic truth — that we are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.”

Yup, officially losing my mind. Just lectured my cat about how to behave in the middle of the night. He knocked over my lamp, spilling a cup of water everywhere. And then had the audacity to step on my other cat. BECAUSE BEING COMPLETELY AWAKE TO WITNESS THIS AT 4AM IS NORMAL RIGHT?
