Never had a bad time at Helen’s.
A project I've been involved with the past few years is almost done, but it needs funding to get over the hump.
I'm physically incapable of fundraising, so instead I wrote up a brief post about what it is and why it would great if you threw the project a few dollars.

The interests of a tech platform’s users and profit-driven corporate owners will always diverge.
At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.
TCB forever.
Throwback to our rotation of folks that asked about Mapbox’s contract with Palantir during every single all hands, for years on end. Hope someone is still shouting about it.
At least I’ll always have spite for the Supreme Court to keep me going.

“We must remember that, no matter what happens, the fascists are the enemy, and that only fascists are responsible for their violence. Whether crime is up, or a protester threw something, or someone entered the U.S. illegally—our enemies don’t care if any of these things are true when they pursue their violence, and we must be equally uncompromising about whether any human being should have their fate decided by a fascist, authoritarian government.” - Kelly Hayes
"We are witnessing authoritarian consolidation—not the rise or threat of fascism, but its enactment. Many people are understandably voicing alarm. In fact, it’s clear that alarm is all some people have to offer, including Democratic leaders." organizingmythoughts.org/you-must-pro...
Another day of testing my capacity for cognitive dissonance in exchange for money and health insurance.
Brutal.
When people see folks drowning and feel powerless and ill-equipped to save them, they sometimes fight over how to describe the water. It's worth resisting this impulse.
Sorry boss I’m crying and throwing up because of the endless crimes against the masses. I will finish my project right away
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Given the threat that Mr. Trump presents, we understand the urge to speak out in maximalist ways about almost everything he does. It can feel emotionally satisfying, and simply like the right thing to do, during dark times. But the stakes are too high to prioritize emotion over effectiveness. The best way to support American democracy is to build the largest possible coalition to defend it. It is to call out all Mr. Trump’s constitutional violations while diligently avoiding exaggeration about what qualifies as a violation. Liberals who conflate conservative policies with unconstitutional policies risk sending conservatives back into Mr. Trump’s camp.
No. It is not the job of ordinary citizens to show perfect message discipline.
It is the responsibility of actors with agenda-setting power — like, say, national newspapers — not to treat random-ass people exaggerating as a threat equivalent to the madman president.
Solidarity with public sector IT and security workers, cause this continues to be absolutely fucked.
