Great news everyone! I saw code so terrible yesterday that I quit my job on the spot, for realsies. Enjoy what should be the last post about me gazing directly into corporate-hell:

Future posts will be about the dystopian hellscape that I conjure into being at my own business.

Edit: they are thankfully still alive. They’re injured from the strike.

Both of my parents were in the Red Cross during the 75-90 civil war and have both said it wasn’t as bad, that they could still cross Israeli lines to help ppl at the time. Israel now just targets first responders as a matter of policy. This is a rogue, criminal regime.

A small group of Canadian politians try to rescue the last of Afghanistan's former woman MPs


For having been a female MP in the pre-Taliban regime, they are now in hiding from death threats.
After months of secret work, the multipartisan Canadian rescue mission is going public, but is not complete

I just love this woman's writing.

Are there actually places where you don't have to pretend to be a machine, though? I thought it was just hard everywhere. And getting harder.
Dinan is from Sudan.

Ethical Revolution


I've signed up here for the 26 steps (one every two weeks) to being an Ethical Rebel! Things many of us on here are already doing. I know my individual stands I take can't change the world by themselves, but we can be part of the community that is moving in a new direction, maybe...

So, step 1 (they are alphabetical!) is Abandon Amazon

Easy, I have already done this with the help of the behometh itself. A few years ago when I was trying to be a seller as well as a buyer I got mixed up with the multiple accounts, lost passwords, and Amazon's "change password" codes which were supposed to come by phone never did! A blessing in disguise! I decided to just leave it that way. However a family member who is a very ethical person is nevertheless constantly buying from Amazon including when they send me a gift..so the boxes still can show up on my doorstep. #ethicalconsumer

Gazan families of Canadians die because of lengthy bureaucracy designed to fail them


To my admittedly great surprise and pleasure, my neighbour Rana has been able to bring her sister, brother-in-law and one nephew to Canada, but she has many other family members in grave peril, maybe dead. She's desperately trying to raise funds with a GoFundMe and selling foods at the Farmers' Market.

And this, sadly, will probably get more views and reactions than little Fatima (9 years old) or little Mohammad (12) being killed just the other day.

A state targetting another state's civilians, there must be a name for that (yes, it's "war crimes").

It's all so sad, infuriating and fucked up.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an email service that is privacy oriented and uses green energy? I know there are several, mostly European based, What are your user experiences? #email
I would be willing to pay a small fee to support the independence of such a service but my needs are pretty simple.

Holy crap, did you even know this happened?
Last September, a 1,200-meter-high mountain peak collapsed in Greenland after the glacier supporting it from below melted. The resulting landslide triggered a 200-meter high tsunami that sent shockwaves reverberating across the planet for over a week (earthquakes only last minutes to hours by comparison). #tsunami #DicksonFjord
