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

@taliaargondezzi.bsky.social You're amazing! "The all-gender bathrooms will be changed to “both-gender” bathrooms because, as biology tells us, there are only two genders. (The biology department has informed us that this is not true.) The biology department has been dissolved."
