With a long e. She/her. Hottie. I'd rather be roller skating. Time for us to unionize, too, tech workers. Let's go!!! Programmer by profession (self taught) and a generalist in general. Life long learner. Trying to stay healthy in this fucked up society.
Lemme tell you about the angel of history being blown backwards into the future: The shackles these people have been put in are Hiatt brand, same company founded in 1780 to mass produce shackles for slaver ships.

To all farm worker fathers: Thank you for your hard work, sacrifice and love. Your dedication strengthens your families and feeds our nation. ¡Feliz Día del Padre! #FathersDay
My most ardent wish is that PE also gets obliterated when this obscene bubble pops.
VERY good reminder to scour all of my retirement savings investments to assure that GEO is NOT in the mix.
I often think about how the CEO of the last company I worked for, who is still there, would use stories about America's Cup intended as inspiration. I think somebody must've clued him in about how over 99% of people working there are not likely to be into yachting. The cluelessness was astonishing.
Anybody here in the business of cleaning up after A.I. who needs a trusty sidekick?
The real theme of the modern age is "Nobody Wants This". AI, ICE in airports, ICE in general, the Iran War, data centers sending actual cities wiht people into blackouts -- "nobody" wants this. And yet here we are.
So much love and solidarity to Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, Dolores Huerta, and every other survivor. Chavez was just a man; women like them, then and now, are the true heroes of the farmworkers’ movement.
If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

Craig Calcaterra@craigcalcaterra.bsky.social · 6mo agoIt's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Haven Watch is the group that meets people who are being released from Whipple (usually because they were illegally detained), often without coats or phones or any way to get home.

This rag is hot misogynistic garbage. I unsubcribed a long time ago.
Sam Youngman@samyoungman.bsky.social · 6mo agoHave you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?
If I could make a recommendation to the other girlies: walk around in public at all times with a facial expression as if you have a devious secret you will be weaponizing soon
hey gang. just wanted to give everyone an update re: those promises I've been making for the last ten years about how I was going to weave a ladder out of dreams and climb up to heaven. it was just a joke basically
Disabled people are targeted by ICE because fascists are eugenicists. They see us as “useless eaters”. They want us eliminated. They also view us as “weak” and therefore easy targets to help meet their quota. ICE enforcement is a disability justice issue:
Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities
Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.

These for profit prisons are behind a lot of this. We are investing in them.
Kesha 😷@kesha.bsky.social · 7mo agoCan we explore divesting from 401k?
Students, who have been among the tens of thousands resisting terror in Minnesota, have called for a nationwide shutdown on Friday, January 30. No school. No work. No shopping.
A #GeneralStrike is ideal. Would it be easier to divest from 401k, those of us still lucky to be employed? I'm sure it's not an original idea but I never hear anybody propose it. At the least we could pressure the banks that admin them to offer investments that don't include the for profit pris' cos
It has gotten so bad that the @nytimes.com has stopped using the passive voice to describe the violence.
