In the interim, I took the liberty to re-platform the site to @ghost.org, which was a great experience. Part of what appealed to me was Ghost's flexibility to blend what is part personal website and what I hope will be part occasional newsletter on various topics. This too:

shoutout to @ghost.org for this free trial approach — honestly this should be the norm.

Recently, however, I've spoken to students and young people who are discouraged but have not given up on using their tech skills to improve people's lives and I thought I owed it to them to make some updates (more to come!).

Breaking Into Civic Tech
When I first learned about civic tech back in 2017, it was an entirely different field. Few resources existed for those hoping to learn more and/or break in.

We should all ask ourselves: what are we willing to sacrifice to uphold the rule of law and ensure Congress's constitutional power of the purse is upheld? For me, some flight cancellations is not too high a price to pay. (If we were in France, we'd have had general strikes far earlier.)

Not that I am not sympathetic to people whose travel plans have been disrupted, but for fired/furloughed federal employees, SNAP recipients, people living in cities patrolled by the National Guard or federal law enforcement, USAID recipients—this is not the first time we have felt very real impacts.
