I'm looking for my next thing, and I need to move fast. I have several years of experience in developer relations from startups to the enterprise, and I'm particularly skilled at distilling complex topics into something easily understood by newbies and non-technical folks alike, on stage or off. 1/3

Okay, I cannot recommend
5calls.org
enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

it's just my experience, but i've been calling my rep's offices regularly since 2016, and one of my rep's mailboxes is full and half of one senator's lines either don't go through or were busy. that's never happened in the time i have been calling. keep the pressure on. call your reps. 5calls.org

Jumping on the bandwagon by calling out my 5 star reads of 2024. It was not the best reading year for me, I'll admit. I DNF'd probably around 15 books, finished 45, and was pretty disappointed in a large majority of those. But here are some I loved!
