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

Thinking back to this summer when a boat captain in Canada asked if my partner and I were dualies, and I said "I wish" with what was supposed to be a laugh, but sounded more like a heave.

democrats are really going to convince themselves that “a return to normalcy” is what people want when its really “rebuild, investigate, imprison”

If our Democracy somehow survives this, the legal and criminal ramifications better make Nuremberg look like Coachella.

Hey folks outside the US: I know folks around the globe are (very rightfully) livid and scared about the US political situation. But many (possibly the majority) of us in the US are too right now! Something to consider before you jump into our mentions to tell us our suffering is our own fault.

Thought I was doing okay managing my emotions, given everything. Then I burst into tears in public because I was thinking about Odysseus' dog Argos(?!) If you're similarly stretched thin holding it together, you have my permission to use some utterly random thing to get those cathartic tears out.

Sorry, America. We can feed the elderly with Meals on Wheels or we can let billionaires cheat on their taxes. We can't do both.

Sometimes you need to be a productive human being, and sometimes you need to drink bad wine and yell at the 1995 Pride and Prejudice like you're watching a world series game.

One of the things you learn studying the anti-abortion movement is the value of taking up fights you can’t win. Under Roe they sued over and over, at enormous expense, to move the law mere inches in their direction.

So I'm thinking that I'm going to go rob a bank. If I get caught, I'm just going to say that upon re-review I don't accept that I committed a crime.

So what are people doing with the books? For a shitty scholar, I donate them to my grad program library so no one has to pay for them, but that's not really an option here. Tossing or destroying seems wasteful. Donate to charity? Add a note inside saying beware, the author is a disgusting predator?

Skeeps, the best coverage I can find for the LA fire catastrophe is the @KPCC @laist.com livestream (89.3 FM) newsroom - now broadcast statewide. Hope you & those stay safe in this devastation. (And if you can, support KPCC!)

We already have AI-based prediction models recommending lower intensity of care for Black PTs b/c the logical model is basically "people who use less care are probably healthier" rather than the reality- that Black PTs in the US face longer wait times, ⬆️ administrative burdens to access health care
