I’ve got that wonderful, sensuous feeling that doesn’t come around very often - usually these moments are many years apart. I got new handmade lambswool moccasins today. My feet are luxuriating in the warm softness.

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:

I wish the “experts” would stop pressuring Awhina & Corina to speak about the positives rather than holding Adrian and Paul to proper account over their abusive behaviour. #mafsau

There is nothing wrong with men washing dishes and doing laundry, in fact for all the wannabe protectors out there, caring for your family and helping keep the home clean is 100% an act of protection #mafsau

Peter Dutton plans to butcher the public service, DOGE style. The last time the LNP tried that they just shoveled cash to the big 4 consulting firms so we got shocking waste, corrupted governance, rampant secrecy & hopeless service. #TaxLawLeak #auspol
Peter Dutton wants to cut public service jobs in Canberra. Here’s what happened last time
There are 26,000 more APS employees than in 2022, but the bill for contractors has fallen from its Covid pandemic peak

Peter Dutton has been contradicted by Matt Canavan on nuclear costs, and by David Littleproud on insurance competition policy.
He gets challenged more by his Coalition partners than by the Australian media.

The Liberals are lying or they don’t understand budget papers. Eleventy Joe would be proud.
The Coalition has misled the Australian people again by falsely claiming Labor has added 36,000 Canberra-based public servants since taking office when the real figure is 7464. Angus Taylor appears to have misread the budget. #auspol aap.com.au/factcheck/co...

Great decision by me to binge Optics tonight, although I fear I may die of laughter. It’s hilarious.

I’ve been wondering the same thing Peter.
Is the news media going to address the facts that Sam Kerr & Kristie Mewis felt unsafe that night: first bc of the actions of the cab driver. Then bc a white policeman ignored the couple's complaint against the cab driver? Both #sexism & #racism here. Yet the whole focus is on Kerr's words. #justice

It took two weeks to get both Zieg Hails at a rally and a declared plan for ethnic cleansing from this administration. Two weeks.

I think the ranking “challenge” needs to go.
If you’re upset about Tim’s shallowness about Katie’s appearance, be upset about the ranking thing.
How are they different?

The most important thing I can tell everyone that I've learned from being a YouTuber who explains how stuff works is that each and every time I thought "this is common knowledge and doesn't need to be explained" I was wrong.
