The best thing we can do is be kind.
It's starting to look like I will no longer be employed over the next couple of weeks. I would love to find something in WordPress, Linux, Open Source, Security, etc. Junior roles are okay. Like I mentioned a week or two back, I just want to get back into some work that makes me happy. My current role is stressful, pays terribly, and with the possibility of losing it over the next couple of weeks, my anxiety is going through the roof. Thanks for any help you give. ❤️

Today in First Editions — Better Homes and Gardens Junior Cook Book, 1955 — It won’t make me rich but was neat to find locally.

800 DAYS OF WAR!

Ukraine, a sovereign and democratic country, has had to endure 800 days of death, destruction, and despair.

All in the name of FREEDOM and the chance of a better life for their children.

Please repost this message and support their struggle against Putin's murderous regime!

Today is Red Dress Day, in honour of missing and murdered Indigenous people. In Canada, Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people are six times more likely to be murdered than their non-Indigenous counterparts.

“However, nearly four years after the release of the Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, and two years following the release of the National Action Plan, only two of the 231 Calls for Justice have been implemented, while an implementation timeline has yet to be released.”

I was somewhat dazed and wandered around looking for the subway entrance. Someone came up to me to help, asking if I needed to go to the ER. I declined. I looked worse than I felt. Head covered in blood does that.

He was a reporter for the New York Times. He had been at the rally. And had seen the Nazi disruption.

He bought me a coffee and we talked for awhile. I asked if he was going to include it in his article. He said yes, but it would not be printed. It would be cut.

He was right.

3/3

Finished #reading The Dark of Light (Starhawke Rising Book 1) by Audrey Sharpe. I got this through a free Kindle book promotion and figured it would be a poor first effort by a wannabe #scifi writer. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the characters, the world, and the story. Easy, short read. I would read more in this series. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ #bookstodon
@krisnelson although it shouldnt take a law to be a decent human being and help fill out forms

I've Instructed to Work with Partners at All Levels to Speed Up the Supply of Arms, Implementing Packages and Agreements – address by President #Zelenskyy 02.05.2024

I am grateful to the US Congress for the decision, but the speed of delivery and implementation of decisions is something that should not be a problem either. We are waiting for the weapons to arrive in #Ukraine for our warriors.

@molly0xfff Excellent article, thank you for writing it, Molly.

Although I do wish I didn’t feel like we didn’t exist while reading it.

This is the Small Web—what Laura & I have been specifically working to realise for the past six years at least (if not closer to a decade if you count our work on the problem before settling on one possible solution):

What is the Small Web?

Updated June 19th, 2023 Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos. But that doesn’t mean you can’t watch it! You can download Small Is Beautiful #23 directly, and watch it with your favourite video player. Small Is Beautiful (Oct, 2022): What is the Small Web and why do we need it? Today, I want to introduce you to a concept – and a vision for the future of our species in the digital and networked age – that I’ve spoken about for a while but never specifically written about:
