- Hi!! What’s up!! I’ve been laid off from GitHub, so if I don’t respond to your emails, it’s FINALLY not my fault 😘 sorry in advance. The past 5 years were an honor and a joy, because wow, OSS maintainers are a kind bunch. Grateful I got to run one last Maintainer Summit before leaving 💓
- Ah, crap. That's messed up, I'm sorry. Of course, wishing you swift and soft landings. Talk soon!
- @chrisjrn.fyi and I now have the joy of twice weekly dates in which we bike to the allergy clinic for immunotherapy to get jabbed and hang out in a waiting room. Today was our first. So romantic 🥰😂

- OK, I need someone to start offering miniature handheld disability pride flags stat. Specifically looking for the ~5.5"x8" form factor we see en masse at pride events. Alternatively, has anybody ever personally had such a thing manufactured themselves?

- OOOH amazing! Just placed a test order. _Love_ your point about having a form factor that works for folks who can't reliably hold em – that's super thoughtful. We tabled at a disability-focused festival over the weekend and I'm excited to have more disability-related flair to share next time :D
- Poker Face (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker_F... ) s2 had a great start. Cynthia Erivo is stellar as quintuplets (really). I love Natasha Lyonne too, and look forward to the weekly episodes.
- Yessss such a good show
- Staying informed in the US is not going to get easier anytime soon, especially as old standbys fall to billionaires or preemptive obedience to the authoritarian regime. And the gap I've felt between me and folks who aren't news junkies over the last month has been *CONCERNING.* So, I made a list:
-
View full threadYay Petaluma :) (I lived in the Bay Area ten years ago and my partner at the time was from Petaluma- such a beautiful place and met many great folks from there.)
- Oh lovely! Yeah I feel deeply fortunate to live here, hard to beat the easy access to good food and drink, nature, combined with the architecture and a community calendar that's wall-to-wall parades and festivals 🤩
- Today is #MEAwarenessDay. Pay attention to #MissingMillions. Learn why it's called that. Maybe you haven't heard of it, but it's ever more relevant. We should all be paying attention, taking precautions, pushing for research and accessibility, and helping the afflicted. #MCAS #MECFS #LongCovid
- Who do I know that's attending UN Open Source Week next month? www.un.org/digital-e... #opensource #ospo
- I'll be there!
- Settling in to watch Bay FC v Kansas City Current, and I can't help but notice the #NWSL self-produced ad for the league features a cut of a MASSIVE antifascism flag waving in a supporter's section. We love to see it 👏🏻
