Does anyone have leads on project/product/program roles that would benefit from an extensive technical (front end, programming, accessibility) background? Asking for a friend who prefers in-person or hybrid roles in Boston but is open to remote.

Help me help my friend get #FediHired :)

Ironically, the Dungeons & Dragons movie left me wanting to play Portal

I always like the term of venery “a nest of rabbits” because it makes me think of eggs 🪺 and Easter but of course, rabbits 🐇 do make nests.

This #linocut is part of my #termsOfVenery series for collective names for animals.

Happy birthday #entomologist & scientific illustrator Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717)! Her stepdad Jacob Marrel & students trained her as an artist. She began painting insects & plants by 13. She wrote, "I spent my time investigating insects. [...] I realized that other caterpillars produced beautiful butterflies or moths, and that silkworms did the same. This led me to collect all the caterpillars I could find in order to see how they changed".⁠

Back in 2008 the Stockholm public transport company announced the release of the Subway Crocs, which had the same chip as the regular subway cards so agile passengers could just lift their foot up to the sensor instead of having to dig through their pockets for the card.

"The Fediverse was a collection of small virtual city states in a loose alliance with each other made primarily of refugees and exiled nobility from the Twitter Empire. While these states were in theory allied with each other in a common cause, in practice they most often bickered and fought amongst each other."

If enough people learn how to do something, it protects those that don't know how to, this is known as nerd immunity

Wow, in the couple of weeks since I last looked at my profile, my follower count quadrupled!
