If you thought women ruined the workplace, wait until you see what us enbies are doing. Flex hours, pay equality, plants on the desk, diverse hires, accessible desk spaces ... Real "9 to 5" shit, just like Dolly Parton taught us.

It's a good week for friends! Had very tasty dinner today with a friend who moved to Ireland a while back (but is here for a week), and had coffee last Sunday with another friend who is moving to The Hague permanently after living abroad for 15 years

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Holy shit. Noam Shazeer, one of the original authors on the "Attention is All You Need" paper and Character.AI founder, came out as major transphobe. Like Trumpian levels of "this is child mutilation" of transphobia.

I have to do many different small tasks at work. My executive functioning is not happy with this.

Gezocht (met spoed): een goede en lieve volkszanger
Voor een gezin dat nog één keer samen Nederlandstalige hits wil horen en meezingen.
Het gaat om aanstaande zaterdagavond, in Brabant. Uiteraard wordt de zanger betaald.
Wegens drukte graag alleen concrete tips (dus niet “kijk op Showbird”).
Dank ❤️🔥

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I was at a weaving workshop and it was SO AMAZING! Very cool. Less physically intense than I expected.

This is not even close to what I signed up for when I came here.
I did not come to @bsky.app so that you could decide FOR ME what I want my social media to be like.
Control over my own experience was the whole entire draw.

On this Halloween, a reminder that a sculptor included a Xenomorph gargoyle during the 1990s restoration of Paisley Abbey

Bumping this more visibly, as due to rescheduling I have extra spots open right now!
I have openings in my editing calendar. I do developmental edits of novellas and novels, and work with multiple genres. More information here: www.kathowardbooks.com/editing and I'm always happy to answer questions.

The ICC ditched Microsoft services and is using #Zendis OpenDesk instead. Zendis is Germany’s publicly funded center for #digitalsovereignty. OpenDesk is open source. This is fabulous news! So impressed by the folks who are & have been involved with Zendis www.euractiv.com/news/interna...

Sigrid Kaag en Frans Timmermans. De politieke leiders die ons hadden kunnen helpen volwassen te worden en die het hardst afgestraft zijn. Dat zegt uiteindelijk alles over verrechtse Nederlanders en niets over hen.
