my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

It's my baby cousin's first year as an elementary school teacher. I am so excited because she is teaching at the same school for Indigenous kids my auntie taught at for like 30 years.

Can y'all help me clear her Amazon wishlist?

The usefulness of an open source project is not an indication of the project's health, stability, or reliability in production!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
