I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

We're not done yet | 18F

President Trump's DOE has made themselves clear: they will support book banners in their efforts to strip our institutions of learning of the books that define them.

So let us be perfectly clear: we're going to do whatever we can to try and stop them.

Absolutely brilliant writing. There’s a GoFundMe set up if you’re so inclined. This man deserves a safe space.

Very thankful. For my girls…for authentic art…for travel and a global perspective…for my #Kanopy and #Libby teams fighting for media literacy and accessibility…for the ocean…for dogs, who are really the best of us…and for this growing BlueSky community saving me from that other hellscape.
