All the cool kids are doing #introduction or reintroduction posts. And so am I! Hi. I’m a luddite technophile and humanity geek currently dissertating at York University’s grad program in Science and Technology Studies. I study the #values systems of the kind of conventional #software #teams I have worked on for 20+ years in #dev , #ux and #agile roles. Got on here when Musk reinstated Trump, zero regrets so far. Welcome new arrivals!

Gabrielle Giffords: "This week marks 15 years since I was shot. Watching the president and his administration target my husband for speaking out is beyond disappointing, it’s a disturbing abuse of power that should alarm every American."

Shout out to the #Python Software Foundation and everyone involved for turning down a US$1.5 millon grant rather than compromise their Values.

It's easy to say we support #DEI or any other thing. It's only when we're asked to pay a price that our #Values are tested.

When asked to turn their back on DEI, the PSF passed the test. This is what resistance looks like.

Jesse Lee: "The Trump Administration launched an onslaught of cancellations of energy projects that would have given Americans all over the country relief from skyrocketing utility bills. Trump half-heartedly claimed it was wasteful and we couldn’t afford them. They totaled $8 billion." But Trump is giving his crony in Argentina $20 billion as a taxpayer-funded bailout.
