New Marianas Rest album out, which is exciting. Will be listening to that today. I was scheming some complicated travel logistics to see them on tour in April, but I don't think any of it quite works.

Hello internet friends, it's rough out there so I found y'all some tech jobs that have positive (or at least, less evil) impacts on the world. Here's a thread of what I've found for you this week ⬇️
