Edit: mutual aid goal reached, thank you so much everyone!
Hey friends,
We only live on my disability benefits and my fiancé has a serious dental infection. She's on meds but still has to see a dentist asap to avoid losing her sight.
She has no social security so we'll have to pay for everything.
Raising money for:
Her tooth
My blood test and non refunded meds
Power bills, 564€
Total: ~740€
Anything helps, thank you so much for any boost/donation!
Hi out there. Does anyone know any employment law attorneys who will represent black folks in Oregon?
I'm asking on behalf of my mom, who is currently going through hell at her job due to racism. The lovely, subtle type where they "manage you out" while they pretend to be reasonable.
Since we moved to the Pacific NW, it's been the same thing over and over again. It's tiring, and I want to fight back.
If you see this, please boost it.
We just had a meeting where we're figuring out how to filter out a bunch of social media posts and discussing how there are no accurate language detection tools that can help us do our task, and only some automated tools (some of which we built) that can help us get half way there.
Meanwhile we have press releases masquerading as journalism telling us that artificial general intelligence (AGI) is coming 🙄
As a trained firefighter I'm astounded/horrified at the number of reporters not wearing masks while reporting on the fires in LA.
A good story isn't worth sacrificing your life and health to hydrocarbons and burning plastic. The average home in 2025 is so toxic while burning that it's hard to watch; far more toxic than homes historically have ever been throughout history. This is something they drilled into us deeply while training.
The cause and effect can be long term and utterly devastating. A mask is gonna save your life in the coming years, be it pandemic or flames.
Wear a mask, shower often. Wash your hands before you eat. A lot of firefighters died before we figured out those basics.
PS- if you have a paint respirator with VOC cartridges even better.
JFC please don't use floating point types for calculating financial transactions or storing monetary values. I just got asked to review some code by someone and it is the first thing I spotted.
visited another, bigger, dam, got a full guided tour, and it was sooo awesome
also til there are a large enough population of dam nerds that they've created "dam facts" collectable trading cards
all of which costs: $0

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake
if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
