Australian, British and American background. Was a freelance TV director but sea-changed to coastal NSW to recover. Politics, environment, heritage, writing, reading, podcasts, poetry, music, dogs and beach walks with my beloved. Definitely a LEFTIE.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

If, for various reasons, you find yourself with a tighter budget in the coming months/years (or just want to save/invest as much as possible), remember to take full advantage of your local library — and not just for books.

Essential listening from the ballsy Alastair Cameron and Rory Stewart podcast, calling out the truth of how the US/ Trump/Musk mafia moves are being viewed by the rest of the world. Highly entertaining too.

Saying “no water system in the world could have handled the LA fires” may be accurate, but it sidesteps a larger issue. Water systems were never designed to address the challenges posed by today’s changing climate because, until now, they never needed to.

“We’re in a new era”, with yet more proof coming from the hellfires of LA. Given such graphic evidence, it continues to amaze how so many in US and Australia especially have turned climate change into a cultural/elite/woke wedge issue.
