While this is great news, especially for our workers who were impacted by these layoffs, we're not done yet. We return to the bargaining table today to continue working towards our first contract. We expect management to put the same effort into our contract negotiations as they did with severance, and to come to the table today with all outstanding counters.

We're excited to announce that we've reached an agreement with #CodeForAmerica on a severance package for all members who were laid off 2 weeks ago, including whose unit membership was in dispute! https://statescoop.com/code-for-america-union-severance-layoffs/ This package more closely aligns with the TAs we had previously negotiated with management for layoffs and severance. This is a tremendous win for us and we couldn't have done it without our collective power and your support. ✊ #UnionStrong #Layoffs #HotLaborSummer

Actually this is my tenth rodeo I just refuse to learn things

The game dev and web industries have never felt so distant as they do right now, when one has spent the past week celebrating FOSS engines as a potential solution to being shafted by corporate overlords, whilst the other has spent that same week bullying OSS maintainers for not keeping pace with VC funded startups

Whew. And that's a wrap on my second week as the publicly announced Managing Director of The Matrix.org Foundation. Gotta say, it's a great fit for my ADHD need for novelty – so many different things that need doing! :ablobcatneon:

Finally saw Barbie. Cried a lot throughout. And then I just stayed sad for a while after the film finished and I wasn’t expecting that 😔

Today, my kid told me that he doesn't have so many friends these days because all his old friends turned out to be homophobic, transphobic, and just generally shitty human beings. This is apparently what it feels like to be so proud and sad at the same time

I love how tech startups are built on imaginary valuations that have no actual meaning. So that's the magic, be delulu. #morning #coffee #startup #tech #infosec

A former colleague left his job to become a clown a few years ago. I’m not one of those people who has an aversion to clowns, but I’ve come to realise that my acceptable Instagram clown rate is actually quite small.
