RTs appreciated on this one. ATTN Bay Area folks! A very close friend is in need of help. Her infant son has a very rare heart condition, the surgery for which was pioneered at Stanford. She spent much of the past year in Palo Alto. Here's the bill, which insurance covered about 2/3 of.
They are now back at Stanford for surgery #2. Her need: a car that she can borrow for a few weeks. If you can help, please msg me directly.

In a season of Civic Tech Where Are They Now hot takes, my friend @matthewburton has the clearest, sharpest, most provocative call to (re-)focus our community's efforts. He brings the credibility that comes with hard-earned experience – agree or disagree, #civictech leaders at all levels should pay attention.

One of my favorite infant-parenting tricks is to use earmuffs or earplugs when dealing with an inconsolably screaming baby. You can still hear them, but the panicky urgency is gone, letting you deal with the situation calmly.
That’s what it’s like observing Twitter’s collapse after walking away the day Musk bought it. Recommended.
