The 2016 Shadbolt Review noted that computer science graduates weren't confident or knowledgeable about career options (search *Recommendation 5*, also *visibility* in 1st pdf here https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/computer-science-degree-accreditation-and-graduate-employability-shadbolt-review). My small contribution to this, also for school computer science teachers and careers advisors, is an expanding archive of job ads, job descriptions & person specifications for technical and computing-adjacent jobs.

My hope is that ppl print out and discuss in class https://techdevjobs.wordpress.com/jobs-organised-by-sector-theme/

I don’t know who did this, but it’s fantastic. I watched the halftime show and have to admit, the flying platforms did make me think of the Galactic Senate

Finally, they come to the obvious point: making people less cash-poor will alleviate their time-poverty. Higher minimum wages, larger earned income tax credits, investments in low-income neighborhoods and better public transit will all give poor people more time and more money with which to command better services.

In "Examining inequality in the time cost of waiting," published this month in *Nature Human Behavior,* public affairs researchers @SteveBHolt (#SUNY) and Katie Vinopal (#OhioState) analyze data from the #AmericanTimeUseSurvey (#AUTS) to produce a detailed, vibrant quantitative backstop to the qualitative narrative about time poverty:

(The paper is paywalled, but the authors made a mostly final preprint available)

This qualitative account of time poverty is well-developed, but it's lacked a good, detailed *quantitative* counterpart, and our society often discounts qualitative work as mere anecdote and insists on having every story converted to numbers before it is taken seriously.

There's a thick anthropological literature on the ways that cash-poverty translates into #TimePoverty. In #DavidGraeber's must-read essay "The Utopia of Rules," he nails the way that capitalist societies generate Soviet-style bureaucracies, especially for poor people.

Doubtless you've heard that "we all get the same 24 hours in the day." Of course it's not true: rich people and poor people experience very different demands on their time. The richer you are, the more your time is your own - not only are many systems arranged with your convenience in mind, but you also command the social power to do something about systems that abuse your time.

1/ High school students in Petrozavodsk in north-west Russia have been told that it's been their duty from birth to fight for Russia, there's no point running from military recruiters and anyone who doesn't join the armed forces is a drug addict and criminal. ⬇️

So... it's never the fact the guy was fucking bonkers and murdered his wife because she was successful? It's Evil Women Forcing The Men To Kill Them, Right? What utterly offensive shit from the as-ever brain dead Mail.

You approach the tomb of the undying king, at its entrance are two gargoyles. As you approach the first turns to you and says “one of us tells the truth, the other can only tell lies”, the second gargoyle turns to the first and says “fucking hell Steve, how many times do I need to say I’m sorry?”

Hi all!
