I turned 62 an hour and 50 minutes ago. I officially embrace my curmudgeonly womanhood. I've Had It with ignoramuses, adults who would be toddlers. You were not left out you probably just couldn't be arsed.

if you buy used books and want to avoid amazon where possible, check out bookfinder.com
you can search essentially every marketplace in one go
so you can, e.g., find the same used copy for sale, from the same seller, on biblio.com or ebay instead of amazon or abe (owned by amazon)

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:

Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual.

I like my version better.
🎼And I'm ashamed to be an American
Cuz the POTUS is a twat.
And I won't forget that asshole Musk
Who thinks we can be bought.
And I'd gladly stand up next to you
And tell them to fuck off
'Cause there ain't no doubt
They ate this land.
Pigs at the fucking trough!🎼

For those not familiar with Polish traditions: the Thursday before Ash Wednesday (when the Lent starts) is "Fat Thursday", a day that Poles traditionally spend buying an unhealthy amount of donuts (spherical ones) and then trying to eat as much as we can 😃

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.
