A new cat moved in while I was out. ‘She takes a while to warm up to people’
Climbed onto me in seconds. Heh

I didn’t grow up in a bread eating culture, but I’ve found middle ground in appreciating good bread as a primary vehicle for delivering good quality butter.I didn’t grow up in a bread eating culture, but I’ve found middle ground in appreciating good bread as a primary vehicle for delivering good quality butter.

I really think that people who haven’t been poor should not give money or frugality advice to poor people.I really think that people who haven’t been poor should not give money or frugality advice to poor people. The problem with poor people isn’t money management or knowledge, it’s the insufficiency of money. This goes for anyone who wants to help people on food stamps navigate this situation. People on food stamps are already experts in navigating food and money with a shortage of both.

Good morning!Good morning! I am looking for contract work. If you have 10-15 hours a week of work on a well defined technical project (‘we need to move 6 websites by this date’, ‘we need to hire a team to do an infra migration’, ‘we need to complete an accessibility audit and figure out next steps’, ‘we need to improve our docs / our onboarding process’), let me know.
If you also need help getting to ‘well defined technical project’, I can also help!
I am a technical product manager who likes to be the ‘glue’ in sticky technical situations and figure out how to come out of it with useful and usable software. I’m based in San Francisco but I also have years of experience working in Asia and Europe, and can navigate time zones / remote teams / cultures / communication styles. I have experience in working in open source.
Send me an email: adrianna@futureethics.ai

This satirical blog post really illustrates the problem with a lot of technical writing.This satirical blog post really illustrates the problem with a lot of technical writing. Amazing technical writing is so good and then everything else reads like this
How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me, a beginner - annie's blog
“Hello! I am a developer. Here is my relevant experience: I code in Hoobijag and sometimes jabbernocks and of course ABCDE++++ (but never ABCDE+/^+ are you kidding? ha!) and I like working with Shoobababoo and occasionally kleptomitrons. I’ve gotten to work for Company1 doing Shoobaboo-ing code things and that’s what led me to the Snarfus. So, let’s dive in!

I think I can live quite happily in most major east coast cities.@juergen_hubert yes, i have so far avoided: needing a car to get anywhere (or needing to get into a car at all), but i am aware that only 0.0001% of the people here get to live like that

Today I learned that there are anti drug / anti homeless vigilantes who are going around San Francisco spraying random homeless people with Narcan.The American take on homelessness just confounds me. You don’t have a home, so let me do everything I can to make sure you won’t ever have a home.

Even if they’re not OD-ing. They’re just asleep. This is so unreasonably cruel.
The dehumanization of entire groups of people occurs even among people who consider themselves a certain way. It shows me that the default mode for many is punish those who aren’t in the in group.

Our family likes and eats a lot of Filipino food (Filipino grocery in our area -- but we're not Filipino), but am mystified to how the food so broadly avoids vegetables, LOL.@darkuncle @ai6yr 1. Many cuisines in that part of the world just see vegetables differently. There’s zero of the ‘eat your vegetables it is the good and virtuous and healthy thing to do’ mindset (I mostly see this outside of Asia). The perception is vegetables is just another type of food and when it’s available we’ll eat it. I don’t identify whatsoever with the ‘I need a green at every meal to feel like I have a balanced diet’ craving / need that many have in the west
2. Raw vegetables is just often not a thing
3. Like others have mentioned there is a preference for cooked vegetables especially long beans or things in stews. These tend to be done at home not restaurants
4. Going out to eat is often ‘it makes more sense to focus on the meat and seafood’ vs the vegetables which cost as much and we can make ourselves
5. There are many regional Filipino cuisines and some are more veg focused than others. The primary regional cuisine represented abroad is not vegetable forward
6. People are allowed to not like vegetables as a people! I personally found it weird that people wanted to eat salads all the time, like what’s up with that. Just a very different relationship to food.

I’ve heard plenty of ‘liberal’ European people on mastodon say immigrants to the US (who go to the U.S.@slothrop there are a few people here who truly believe that anyone who picks California over Germany is insane, uneducated and stupid. I am not exaggerating. (Sorry to use ableist terms but this is actually the message that I keep hearing in those words)

I desperately want to agree with you that you are all better but you all keep giving me reasons to want to vomit
‘The country you’re in sucks so bad!’ ‘I agree!’ ‘Mine is so enlightened! So not racist! So wonderful! By the way, (some totally racist thing)!’ ‘??’ ‘Stupid Americans, all you think about is race. In my better country, we have no racism, but you all are (some totally horrible racist thing even Republicans won’t say)!’
