Rest in Power Dolores Huerta.

Grateful for #DoloresHuerta sharing her truth before she left. It makes it easier to stand on the right side of history.

Does anyone know any not-for-profits or charities who would be interested in hiring a senior ruby on rails engineer? I am based in London but happy to work remotely, or potentially split my time.

I would also be very interested in working on an open source project.

I was tech lead at a health tech in my last position. Have worked in tech for 20 years from systems administrator, to php, to ruby.

Please boost. Please DM me if you have ever worked at the kind of place I am looking for.

Still remembering when the CEO of #Substack called me a loser blogger in a forum for keeping this list. https://sightlessscribbles.com/posts/substack/

“Well. That’s just the way the world is.”

No, you incompetent crumb bum. That’s just the type of abuse YOU settled for. That’s not how we operate over here.

They are currently making it impossible for me to schedule my own hysterectomy. Via absolute incompetence and laziness. It has been a week of being ignored. First they scheduled something without my permission, and then canceled without me knowing. Both the hospital and I have been calling for a new date. No one returns the calls.

I literally don’t know what else to do other than to go into the office and have a nervous breakdown.

It’s already hard enough. This is just…. Fucking insane.

#BenitoMussolini's #Blackshirts' #MarchOnRome began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1922. Italy's prime minister was not allowed use of the army to stop this show of force & intimidation; instead the king put #Mussolini in charge. Élites think they can control #fascists and never learn.

Side neither with nations nor with parties. Be neither Russians, Poles nor Slavs. Rather, be men who hunger for truth, free from any thoughts of particular interests, and from speculative ideas concerning the Chinese, Africans or Europeans. The patriot always ends up hating the foreigner, and loses the sense of justice that once kindled his enthusiasm.

Suffering as a Feature https://blog.codinghorror.com/suffering-as-a-feature/

OPINION: "A small but growing number of randomized clinical trials (show) that reducing maternal depression has benefits for babies, including improved emotional development and changes in stress-related hormones," Davis et al. write.

@yayaver the actual problem is the rule change that Reagan did in 1982 to the Security and Exchange Commission rule 18 B. This is the rule that allows stock buybacks. Prior to 1982, stock buybacks were considered to be market manipulation and were against the law. This is what ushered us into shareholder only capitalism. Rolling back that one rule would mean that profits could not be used to raise shareholder stock value. Prior to 1982 the additional profit was distributed to the employees in the form of higher wages and new research. #ResistOfTheDay

I would love Fedizens in other cities and towns in Australia to please share their local TV ads from decades past; things I would never have seen in Melbourne.

New fun insult just dropped: “I see you are committed to your current level of understanding.”

Outside the church where her problems began 50 years ago today!

Best thing that happened to me!

@BBYQTR thank YOU for even caring.

Your daily affirmation:
Don't dwell on disappointments, celebrate them.
Get out there, hold your head high, and continue to disappoint everyone everywhere.
