Happy Tuesday! Who's ready to hear about 1. Flesh-eating maggots (mostly go after cattle) 2. They're native to the US 3. The USDA has kept them out of the US since the 1960s 4. But the flesh-eating maggots are making a 21st century comeback. And believe it or not it may be thanks to MAGA.

Omg, I could win an iPad! oaklandlibrary.org/summer/

I found out that I could sign up for my local library's summer reading challenge program as an adult and win prizes. I haven't been this excited since reading books could score me free pizza. I already won a tote bag. (Which I won't be getting because I own too many.)

LET WOMEN HAVE HOBBIES

Happy GOTV Weekend from Oakland! 🗳️ We have three days left to turn out the vote for Yes on Measure E. Without Measure E, there will be more cuts to our critical public services.

!عيدٌ مباركٌ وسعيدٌ لجميع أصدقائي

Starting to see lots of ads for No on E. It’s absolutely true that Oaklanders aren’t getting the services they need, but without Measure E the City won’t be able to maintain the status quo, *ensuring* we won’t get services.

sometimes I wonder if people in other fields have any clue what we go through as women in computational fields... (graph from: www.npr.org/sections/mon...)

Some thoughtful person provided a link to a non-paywalled version of this article: gcaptain.com/drowning/

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...
