boosts appreciated

I urgently need to find somewhere new to live (i'm in Berlin). I am female, 19, trans, and I work as a software engineer and have a stable income.

I am looking for a room in a wg, if you or anyone you know is looking for somebody please reach out to me.

Since I'm seeing a new wave of people saying they plan to leave Twitter, you may like my browser tool that takes the zip file of your Twitter export and returns a zip file of a web site that lets people browse and search your tweets. You can just upload the files wherever you normally host html and it'll work just fine.

As a last activity before leaving my team at DfE, I took a speculative look at how the service could be more integrated with all the other government services that the users need to interact with: https://becoming-a-teacher.design-history.education.gov.uk/apply-for-teacher-training/exploring-ways-to-integrate-the-services/

Actually doing this stuff is hard. Government services are often not joined up even within a single department let alone crossing department boundaries. But this is the work.

This one is for my Black and brown readers. Fellow white folks, please sit this one out, but feel free to boost for a bigger sample size.

When you see "Our organization has a commitment to diversity and inclusion" in a set of non-profit corporate policies, what is your first thought?

@morgthorak I think you might want to make sure you don’t follow me.

Because your “woke communist propaganda” comment makes me think you’re a moron of the first order.

I strongly suspect I am one of those “woke communists” you worry about. But you probably couldn’t actually explain what either of those words actually mean, could you?

I’m a card-carrying atheist, I think a woman’s right to choose is very important, I think that “well regulated militia” means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and I couldn’t care less if you decided to dress up in the “wrong” clothes or decided you’d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with.

And dammit, if that all makes me “woke”, then I think anybody who uses that word as a pejorative is a f*cking disgrace to the human race. So please just unfollow me right now.
