stranger: what do you do for work? me, shamefully: computer

the past few weeks in nyc have really conditioned me to think of 30°F as “warm”

My contract is ending at the end of February and so I’d like to find a new role ASAP. I am a senior-level design systems developer / design technologist / front-of-the-frontend developer that specializes in web accessibility. I work remotely from my home in Winnipeg, Canada. 🇨🇦 Shares appreciated!

learning about risograph, and by proxy, xerox/photocopying. people had so many anxieties about what easy access to copying and redistribution would enable!

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed." A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends. Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

wonder if friend dot com has run out of money yet

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

ok i ate lunch but the tasks still feel pointless

who else doing their little pointless computer tasks

i heard a cover of MacArthur Park by Angela Bacari (Liza Minelli’s vocal coach!) on WFMU and it ROCKED but i couldn’t find the album streaming online so i emailed the DJ who was also unsure so i bought the vinyl off ebay and digitized it at the public library and put on youtube. here it is!

taking off my vocal AI-hater hat for a sec to say "thank you Claude for answering 'what is the ffmpeg command to turn a folder full of audio files into video files featuring the album art'" with almost zero pain

Tailwind makes it easy to write one-off inline styles; it makes it difficult to embrace the cascade of Cascading Style Sheets

i have a theory that Tailwind, by lowering the barrier to writing inline styles, will, over time, make a codebase less consistent than the equivalent app with .css by encouraging one-off modifications even when they aren’t needed

if you ever worked at Palantir you owe the trans people and POC in your life apologies and probably reparations

it’s legally required to call Sam a “stinky boy” whenever you see him

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

excited about this update, gonna nerd out for a sec: not only does this remove a big barrier for users (no more login required!) — but by moving more of our logic client-side and relying on web standards, it *significantly* reduces our number of dependencies

it’s February again

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Take me down to the paradox city where the box contains both a live and dead kitty

i just can't get over how much bad shit we're learning has been connected to epstein and his circle this whole time. the culture war, the demonization of trans women, /pol/, even the rise of microtransactions in games?? all of it connects to mr. pedophile island??? lazy fucking villain writing

monstera update

Last year, we launched a web app to assist trans people with legal name changes. Today, we’re removing the login wall and registration requirements and making everything publicly accessible.

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it
