My employer, Shopify, announced layoffs today and I've been affected. If you're looking for someone with deep experience with developer tooling and developer environments, I'd love to work with you. I've spent the last two years building Shopify's in-house cloud developer environment, and I have extensive experience building developer tools as one of members of the Homebrew package manager's Project Leadership Committee.

Over the last few hours Mastodon treasure @Teri_Kanefield has been the victim of very vulgar harassment on her server law-and-politics.online.

Mastodon lets users create their own instances, but you need to block bad instances.

Fortunately, Mastodon provides support for this:

Boycott CNN if you haven’t already. Hot garbage.

Good morning! Let's #AbolishPrisons

NPR is the only major journalism org to have shown a spine in dealing with Musk. So he's threatened to give the NPR username to someone else.

Yet even now -- despite Musk's growing contempt for and acts against journalism -- most media organizations and their employees STILL pour their work and some of their advertising money in to his rancid site.

What will it take for journalists to wake the hell up?

Sure, it’s #TeacherAppreciationDay but instead of appreciation, teachers are on social media begging for school supplies and necessities for our “kids”.

Most teachers love what they do, but it’s a lot easier to do “the teaching stuff” when they feel supported.

Stop anthropomorphizing billionaires.
