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:

We were so fortunate to live in the same time as Dorothy Allison, a uniquely original American writer. NYT's Penelope Green does her usual bang-up job on the obit. Gift link!
Dorothy Allison, Author of ‘Bastard Out of Carolina,’ Dies at 75
She wrote lovingly and often hilariously about her harrowing childhood in a working-class Southern family, as well as about the violence and incest she suffered.

Wishing all a happiest prep day. Looking forward to going to the bakery to pick up an apple pie and bread “shaped like a turkey.” Surely it will not disappoint!
