It’s been nearly 13 months since COVID-19 made its way to Seattle, but I’m finally getting vaccinated on Saturday! And so many people I know are vaccinated now!
I didn’t have a lot of…
Imagine the (justified) outrage if a law allowed Muslim doctors to refuse service to Evangelical Christians.
If you’re a Christian doctor and you refuse to provide care to LGBTQ people, not only are you not worthy to be a doctor, you don’t understand the God you claim to serve.
Take a good look at what “religious liberty” means to these people. This bill would allow any doctor/surgeon/EMT/*any* medical provider to take one look at me and ush...
I cannot get up and go on a run because I am stuck
This piece about the mess at Medium is amazing (and honestly pretty disheartening) but this quote about the CEO at the end is especially perfect:

Ultimately, staffers I spoke with wished Williams would take responsibility for his stop-start flirtations with journalism, and acknowledge where he himself had fallen sh...
Medium CEO Ev Williams "mentioned in the all hands and the coffee chat that the VCs he talked to would not fund us if we unionized."
New: After what workers describe as a successful union-busting campaign, Medium's Ev Williams has announced to journalists who work for him that they should feel free to ...
OH: Empathetic people don’t usually go around bragging about how emphatic they are.
If you haven't read about this story, you should. What Kelly experienced is terrifying, and the fact that it's still going on 3 years later is insane. In case you have any questions about the well documented online harassment that women endure...
Yay another court date.
This time, he's up for mental health diversion - basically the possibility that he'll be released and have the charges dropped, on the basis that...
Fuck them. Literally. Especially with the active role America’s federal government plays in weakening (putting it lightly) Haiti. Fuck them. https://twitter.com/USEmbassyHaiti/status/1374753568914292736
The fact that RMS came back with no election from the public should be enough for these FSF thumpers to understand that you are part of a organized RELIGION, not an organization for people, lol. Good call on FSFE for this though https://fsfe.org/news/2021/news-20210324-01.html. Better than Microsoft and GitHub backing ICE.
Well, there you have it, lol. I rather stick to e-mail, at least they don’t lie about stuff like this. https://www.protocol.com/slack-messaging-connect

Pebbles is a little obsessed with Oliver. She loves watching him and has to check on him everytime he makes a distress noise. It's pretty cute. 😍 instagr.am/p/CMz81nOD6hS/
O Happy Day! This should've been the goal from day one: make the actual open web better, not some bastardized upside-down variant. Buh-bye AMP! Byeeeeee!
The End of AMP lafoo.com/the-end-of-amp/ "Google announcing that sites with passing core web vitals will receive a ranking boost on mobile. However, there is another impo...
Slack: This is not software for communities. You don't need moderation tools because you're supposed to have an HR department.
Also Slack: You can now DM literally anyone if you know or can guess their email address.
Language help needed! For a project I need the phrases in your language people are using to describe “covidtime” and the “beforetimes”
i.e. “Coronazeit” in Deutsch.
Regional variations, slang, and emoji translations encouraged!
I hit my $6000 deductible so this month’s meds only have a $1,141.59 copay. 👯💉✨☀️
“What Google expects you to do is to quash the subpoena and that would require you to go to federal court. I’d like to know how many people are gonna have the resources & the understanding that they have only 7 days to hire an attorney to quash an ICE subpoena in federal court.”
