nothing the fascists do can ever change the fact that the world is immeasurably better with trans people in it
It was the worst of times it was the worst of times

Understand the indignity of air dropping food on Palestinians.

First, in the March air drop, the supplies killed 5 Palestinians. More will likely be killed this time.

Second, this forces Palestinians to chase after food and scavenge for it like animals. It’s dehumanizing.

Third, this could all be avoided if Israel ended its open air prison of Gaza, or if world leaders had the courage to break Israel’s blockade.

Instead the genocide of Palestinians continues. Barbaric. Smh.

I hate not having a job. I just want to make cool apps. If you need an #iOS or #macOS developer, I've been doing this since 2008. I worked at Apple on the Reminders app, and I've got lots of #SwiftUI and #Swift experience. I'm really quite the catch.
@dandean trying to get it to be useful has wasted more time than it’s saved for me so far.
Got ChatGPT to draw me a map for a hike tomorrow. Fingers crossed it hasn’t missed anything.

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: We are dedicated to the American public and we're not done yet

For over 11 years, 18F has been proudly serving the American people to make government technology work better. We are non-partisan civil servants. 18F has worked on hundreds of projects, all designed to make government technology not just efficient but effective, and to save money for American taxpayers.
