@BlackAzizAnansi $25 closer to paying back rent of $4000 but the month marches on quickly and it'll be August before I sneeze.

Filed my last Unemployment claim last week.

I've been looking for work for a year now. Six months before my last job ended and six months since. The search continues.

Please share, etc... to keep us housed.

Stop blaming strikes for economic damage. Strikes are a logical response to overreach and greed from corporations and the wealthy. If there is resulting economic damage, look to those who drove the workers to strike in the first instance.

Today's piece with The Big Picture writer Amelia Mavis Christnot is a must-read... "Autism doesn't need a cure. It needs empathy and understanding.

I think if we approached ASD from that perspective we could better help individuals who are nonverbal or who have coexisting disabilities.

And mental illness is not an excuse for racism or mass shootings.

There are millions of us with actual diagnoses and we've never gone on a bigoted rant or shot up a school, church or movie theater. Stop blaming poor choices on mental illness."

Short 🧵:

This morning's ProPublica story on Harlan Crow's yacht and the tax breaks he's seen by using it to entertain #SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas and others is a hybrid of two important ProPublica series.

The reporting on Crow's yacht builds directly on this story from April about Crow and Thomas' luxurious international travel:

Pls boost so I can show my wife how a toot can go round the world

Hola party people! This poll is very important.

I'm making a new Planetarium show. What do you think is interesting?

I have open availability for web dev projects this summer. If you're looking for a performant, accessible, and resilient website built to withstand growth and change, I'd love to chat about how I can help make that happen.

Whoa, just got #laidOff...

Saw it coming, but it's still a first for me. Remote work made it easier to wait for the other shoe to drop, but I am happy to finally make it official on my #LinkedIn so I can really start looking again.

Here's hoping my next role has a better tech stack 🤞

#fediHire get at me if you know someone who needs a #WebDev

To answer those of you asking why we're not on Threads, it's because Meta says "2600" is an illegal user name. Not a good start.

Are you still using Twitter? ​

Ex-Player to Congress: China Criticism Derailed His NBA Career https://www.voanews.com/amp/ex-player-to-congress-china-criticism-derailed-his-nba-career/7181933.html #voanews #voiceofamerica

👋 Just a quick note to say that since I decided to move on from WPT, I’m actively exploring new work opportunities!

I have a particular interest in roles that call for product design & strategy, front-end prototyping & engineering, and R&D. I’ve worked with enterprise-scale web applications, and early-stage startups.
In short, if you’re looking to hire someone with decades of design/dev experience, I’d love to hear from you. And even if you aren’t, I’d appreciate if you help me spread the word!
