Hi everybody! In anticipation of doing more writing, I’ve brought all 25 years of my blog archives online, cleaned up lots of dead links, and even added a basic search capability. I hope there’s something there you find valuable! (And let me know what I should write about next.) https://www.anildash.com/
I wanna say something to people who work in tech-related jobs in America: this is still a field where most people hate the rise of fascism and want to stop it. I know the media & amplification of the tycoons makes it seem like that’s the whole industry. But it’s not. And we still have power.
As I said yesterday, and will say tomorrow: I am steady in standing with you, as we fight together to protect the vulnerable and to stop the fascists. I have enough love to go around when you’re tired or scared, and I know you have the same. Let’s get to work, no matter what we wake up to.
Hey, friends: today we win. Today will protect each other, and the most vulnerable in our communities. Today we are going to stand up against fascism & violence and joyfully come together to care for those who need protection & support. We do this *no matter* how votes go today, no matter what disruptions or attacks come, so find peace in knowing what does not change, what they can never stop. Once you’ve voted, sign off, and don’t look or scroll if it causes you stress. Tomorrow we get to work.
From 8 years ago, “Forget ‘Why?’, it’s time to get to work.” No matter how tomorrow goes, this is still the task at hand for the years to come. If you’re stressed, find comfort in knowing the obligation we share doesn’t change either way. https://anildash.com/2016/11/09/forget_why_its_time_to_get_to_work/
Hey friends, my last piece on "what does a board of directors do?" got a great response, so my next one is going to be even more fun: "What is venture capital and what does it do?" I've got a lot of info to share, but please do ask any questions you'd like to see answered! https://www.anildash.com/2024/06/20/dash-board/
