Today's post celebrates our two marches-protests in Santa Barbara, yesterday March 1: around 225 people at the "Fire Musk" protest at our local Tesla dealership, and it must have been over one thousand people standing with our trans community at De La Guerra Plaza. Big thanks to all who participated

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 started #TheReadersHeart to celebrate #kidlit as a vehicle for #empathy & #joy in a dark world. I'm so grateful for conversations like this one w/Allie Millington. Find this episode wherever you listen to #podcasts. Checkout the show notes + other goodies here! #TLSky #SkyBrarians #Edusky #MGLit
![A promotional graphic for The Reader’s Heart podcast, Season 2, Episode 004, featuring guest Allie Millington. The background has a textured design with sunburst-like rays in gray and beige tones. The title The Reader’s Heart is displayed in a whimsical handwritten-style font, with with Jennifer Lagarde written in a delicate cursive font below it.
In the upper-right corner, a circular frame contains a photograph of Allie Millington, who is smiling and leaning on a vintage typewriter. She is wearing a cream-colored blouse, and the background is a simple, neutral-colored wall. The frame is set against a yellow banner that contains the text Season 2 | Episode 004 Guest: Allie Millington in a simple sans-serif font.
Below the podcast title, there is a quote from Allie Millington inside a rounded rectangular speech box with a soft beige background. The quote reads: 'I was a lonely kid and, you know, I still feel lonely too. As an author... I'm passionate about writing and reading about books that really tackle feelings of loneliness and isolation [Because] these are big questions that you face throughout your whole life. They don’t just end in middle school. You kind of carry them with you.' The quote is accompanied by large, stylized quotation marks in muted green.
To the right of the quote, an illustrated child in a yellow sweater and black pants leans against the background, eyes closed and hands in their pockets, adding a contemplative mood to the design.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gngqqqztqi5y77qh2xvekxbz/bafkreibqzupophuyxzsgcvueza3gr2jutbxa4gnx2kcu4fl3rf53cbfeci@jpeg)

We need states to pick up these important scientists like @zacklabe.com being cut loose from the Federal Government. How about California @governornewsom.bsky.social? #NOAA
I really cannot believe my childhood career dream might end like this. Feeling so small and lost.
