@infryq i just need to learn how to pack pottery for shipping :D

*heads to pottery youtube*

Would you write for a zine that paid in handmade pottery?

Ironically, if I have new year's resolution, it's probably check email more.

@aaron.rupar i'm willing to bet he wasn't planning to show up anyway and he just got talked into it.

@AlSweigart YES. It just *tastes* primey in the mouth.

@ianb jesus that's a word salad.

@ianb On the one hand, good, goddammit. On the other: they better clean up their act within about 12 or so years 😂

Alright, let's go people: the Cassandra call for pitches: https://cassandrazine.com/call-for-pitches/

@nat The ADA belongs up there with the moon landing for great American accomplishments.

@gunstick (and frankly a lot of them have better access to healthcare than poor americans do)

@gunstick that's... also fucking problematic. people outside Whitistan are real people living full lives.

Every fucking medical gofundme just fucking kills me these days. Straight up ruins my day. I used to be fine, but I moved to Europe and now they just devastate me. I can't even explain why.

@GossiTheDog that's the whole reason we didn't let anyone patch anything it's not faaaiiirrr 😭

@GossiTheDog but but those were supposed to be OUR vulns *pout* *pout* *pout*

@simon I absolutely *love* imitation intelligence and weird intern. as my partner points out, if you don't go through the code when it happens, there's no way you'lll maintain it... you're just going to end up re-writing bits of lost code when you lose context.

@simon I'll queue that up for later, but my partner and I work on a software project, he's the engineer and... he's not afraid of losing his job. 😂

@simon it's possible you could write about that for a naive audience and then forward people to that when they're getting up in arms, but this being the internet, i don't know that it would help very much 😬

@simon people are very afraid, and your work seems subtle enough that lacking clear condemnations people make assumptions. It's a very scary time, and that doesn't result in critical thinking.
