This is really important to talk about, because the core of what is happening is that the ADL has de facto decided that full throated support for Israel is more important than protecting American Jews.
This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized.

The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

Hi, hello, it's me

I got laid off in November and a gig at all would be great

If you know me, it's probably because I've been doing DevRel for 7+yr, but it isn't really safe anymore. So SRE/Ops roles, but if it can also help me move my loves someplace safe i'm pretty flexible, tbh
Just a reminder that our trans industry colleagues are literally running out the clock. Life and death. If you are wondering if you should offer them a gig even at a low rate outside America, for the love of Pete, do it now.

Trying out Proxmox this evening. It's been years since I've played around with a hypervisor besides ESXi. I'm pretty impressed at how easy it was to get a server up and running and deploy VMs and containers.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #478,127! It's crazy how much it's grown.

One of my least favorite toddler phases is the “I can do it” phase. They cannot, in fact, do it.

It is very strange having the windows open around my house on February 26th.

Your disabled friends notice when you engage with their fun tweets but not their real ones.

It's just so surreal to me--the amount of pain today within the communities I'm a part of, with almost no support from anyone who mistakenly thinks they aren't affected by the CDC change.

We're not doing ok

I am going absolutely ape shit over this CNCF whitepaper on Platforms. It's like they took everything we've been building at Total Expert over the last 3 years and turned into a whitepaper. It's validation of what we've been doing is insane: tag-app-delivery.cncf.io/whitepapers/...
CNCF Platforms White Paper
This paper intends to support enterprise leaders, enterprise architects and platform team leaders to advocate for, investigate and plan internal platforms for cloud computing. We believe platforms significantly impact enterprises' actual value streams, but only indirectly, so leadership consensus and support is vital to the long-term sustainability and success of platform teams. In this paper we'll enable that support by discussing what the value of platforms is, how to measure it, and how to implement platform teams that maximize it.
