You do not have to turn your disability into something profound and meaningful in order to earn the compassion and understanding of others.

We've heard people like Starter Packs, so we just begun putting one together for open source organizations. It could be an OSPO like us, a Foundation that supports projects and the ecosystem or accounts for OSS events.

Take a look and tell us who else should be there.

As always, it was an honor to speak on a deeply personal topic at #Monktoberfest. Thank you for having me 💜

CW in the talk.
In the next installment of our New Year's revisit of the incredible talks at Monktoberfest 2025, @juliaferraioli.com traverses her career in open source with her life experience, examining the tensions between agency and control to visibility and safety.

I really want to get into stained glass but the place in Seattle that runs workshops has had a closed waitlist since before COVID.

I know how to solder, but I'd love to learn glass cutting technique as I'm so good at injuring myself.

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

One of the best things about quitting my job is getting to curl up with a @tkingfisher.com book on a Tuesday entirely guilt-free 📚

Went apple picking today. You never know where you’ll find unpatched OpenSSL in the wild.

Ahhhh the neverending game of Portlander or #Monktoberfest attendee while sitting at The Speckled Ax 😂

Time to renew energy for the year with some of my favorite people at #Monktoberfest!

On my way to Portland today, and will hopefully feel up for the boat cruise on Wednesday.

Can your stylohyoid ligaments grow back once removed?

Intuition says no, but that same intuition says they shouldn't have turned into bone in the first place.

I swear that logic is on a smoke break every time questions about my body come up.

We are so beyond “we have to run anti-choice Democrats” in order to win.

We’re fighting fetal viability conditions now tyvm. Not the right to abortion in the first fucking place.

So my legs have decided that they are on strike today.

It's very effective. I will cave to their demands of...no pants.

CW: Death, Loss, Grief

This Friday marks our beloved @tinu.bsky.social 's first yahrzeit.
It's a very hard time for everyone who loved her, especially since so many of us have been dealing with the loss of loved ones this year.
Do what you need to take care of yourself right now.

I haven't slept through the night for months now, being woken up by spasms and muscle cramps.

I am so beyond tired.
