I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

This is a good NPR piece on the lies on which Trump's tariff attack are based. 1) Far fewer deaths than Trump and @karolineleavitt claimed 2) Almost no Canadian involvement 3) Biden already made progress on reversing it Every tariff story should start by debunking lies www.npr.org/2025/02/02/n...

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

FAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA. There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.

What the crap is up with the score updates for this Michigan/Washington meet? Virtius is usually fast with updating meet scores, but only one Michigan floor score has been updated. We are already on the exhibition routine.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

My @gymcastic.bsky.social fantasy team went 197.526 this week thanks to my Oklahoma-heavy lineups! I don't think any of my teams broke 195 last year. I appreciate the change to 6 up 5 count! 😅😅

Christmas dress is done!I had so many issues with constructing the bodice and sleeves. I'm also mad at myself for under stitching the collar with black thread, so now the inside of the dress doesn't look very finished. Ugh.
