I have a ton of thoughts on this but the big one is that QA is one of the few paths into the industry available to working class people.

I know so many incredibly talented developers who grew up without money and got their foot in the door via QA.

118 - Roof Garden *

A vast part of the earth's surface, in a town, consists of roofs. Couple this with the fact that the total area of a town which can be exposed to the sun is finite, and you will realize that is is natural, and indeed essential, to make roofs which take advantage of the sun and

Feeling a sudden urge to graphic design coming on
if i were running for office i would absolutely call my volunteers “the wide awakes,” i would hand out wide awake pins and stickers and hats for people to wear and campaign events would have wide awake banners

the only vision of the future that's been clearly articulated rt now is apocalyptic.

what we need are myriad better futures to strive for.

one thing i love about studying archaeology is that there are so many different pasts to inspire those futures and give them fertile ground in which to grow
The list of things centrists think Dems should run on is so striking. There's some good stuff in here (expand Medicare to vision & dental), but it's mostly technical tweaks and preservation of the status quo.

Like yes, ban congressional stock trading but it's not exactly a compelling vision.

Once again, WHERE is this mythic bubble? Is it in the decades I spent around religious fundamentalists who raised me? Is it on the TV, which shows me fascists articulating their vision every time I turn it on? Is it around my boss, who's salivating to replace me at the closest opportunity?
