Hey everyone, It's Friday! You know what that means?

If you said, "don't push code to prod", "ladies and gentlemen, the weekend", or "that it's Friday", ...you're right!

But I was specifically referring to (or for short)

So without further ado…

  • @transflowerwitch - is a beautiful person and they're having a rough time right now—show them some love :heart_trans:
  • @catsalad - who I'm so pleased is in my life :ablobcatheart:
  • @AeonCypher - knows a lot about AI (and has been my best friend since childhood) :neocat_hug:
  • @deviantollam - should frequent Mastodon more (oh and he knows security stuff) :neocat_cool_fingerguns:
  • @xyhhx - is super sweet (and you should hire them) 🍜
  • @infobeautiful - because data becomes information when it's made accessible 📊
  • @guardian - so you'll know when they publish more anti-trans bullshit and you can yell at them 🤬
  • @alice_watson - I've heard they're pretty cool 🤷‍♀️
  • @dgar - has puns for days 😉
  • @GottaLaff - has the best commentary on the train wreck that is Trump 🍿

Promised to Fix How Challenges Are Handled.
A New Law Could Make the Problem Worse.

SB 189, which goes into effect in July, will give Georgia residents more time to contest the eligibility of fellow citizens’ inclusion on voter rolls.

The will make it easier to use questionable evidence in those challenges.

Meanwhile, in Well That Sucks news. Target is not placing pride merch in a bunch of high risk stores now. The bullies won.

And, it seems they are pulling non-Pride LGBTQ+ themed merch it did have in those stores as well. So maddening and frustrating.

While I get protecting teammates, 100%, these moves only embolden the bigots. 😞
