I interrupt our usually scheduled programming to alert you that I have just learned of the existence of a tribute band called the Dubmones... who play reggae/dub/rocksteady covers of Ramones songs. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

People, who due to autism or any other reason, can't pay taxes, hold a job, play baseball, write a poem, go out on a date, and/or use the toilet without help ~still have value~ and I think that's getting lost

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws.

Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism.

We must stop him.

Obviously trans service members exist. None of us have any reason to question their choice. From the day the Constitution was ratified we've moved to improve America, and I can't see restrictions such as the newly introduced policy to remove trans service members as anything but backwards. (2-2)

NGL I have my conversation points with regard to the US Military. I don't question the commitment of those who choose to serve. If you're trans and serve I believe you're holding up a basic American ideal; that all are created equal. Historically we've needed to clarify US ideals over time. (1-2)

FYI Audible is doing refunds on ALL GAIMAN BOOKS. It doesnโ€™t matter how long youโ€™ve had them - i just got 3 credits back on books from as far back as 2018 after chatting with customer support

Get the cert if you have a voucher. Get the cert if you think the exposure will help your career. Hell, get the cert if you just kinda want it! I'm still looking forward to getting better at Salesforce this year too. I'm going to see how setting different metrics makes me feel. 3/3

Mainly I want to be sure that my Salesforce growth in 2025 is directed by practical application rather than an increase in cert count. Please don't take this as trying to discourage anyone from setting goals around new Certifications. 2/3

Ok hear me out. I'm not planning on getting any new Salesforce Certs this year. If one starts to make sense then great! I don't want to get one just because. I want to continue learning more strategies for troubleshooting, get better at understanding Apex, and become more knowledgeable about AI. 1/3

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site.

Books save lives. Stories save lives. The authors publishing their lives save lives.

So we fight back wherever we are. We fight back because we can be organized as well. we raise our voices even within the communities where the tyranny of book bans have not yet been raised.
