i have a TON of toys from when i was a kid. i was the youngest in my extended family so i was kinda spoiled and also got every hand me down from my cousins. they're in good shape- i took very good care of them. i've been trying to donate them to groups that work with kids, but unfortunately most in my area won't accept used toys.
so fediverse. want some toys? for the kid in your life or for you! i'll send them for just the cost of postage, or for free if you're cash-strapped (& in the US).
For folks wanting to support arrestees - ppl who threw down and risked federal charges while blocking Portland's ICE facility, here is a donation link:

I am very skeptical / security conscious; this came directly from #OccupyICEpdx via facebook and I have worked personally w/ Portland ABC (Anarchist Black Cross). They do jail support and prisoner support work.
As much as you trust this account, trust that link. Please donate what you can.

Oh ages ago… early 2000s. The news services ran the CC text for their tv broadcasts somewhere that could be reached via the internet. I don't know what protocol, but someone made an IRC bridge. It worked when nothing else did.

no really: they had nothing better for these people to do, so they made them dig out this lake with shovels.
I mean, it's neat I suppose, but that's what you'll be doing under the "universal jobs guarantee."
it's basically work that has no purpose, like this lake has no purpose other than to sit there and look nice.
instead, we could pay people to improve themselves and their skills through universal basic income.
so, no, a universal jobs guarantee is not what I'm looking for.
Every Data Scientist should read Weapons of Distruction by Cathy O’Neil. She warns for the fact that mathematics is misused to turn subjectivity in Big Data into objective facts. She has many examples that will frighten you.

I have transformed a harvest of cherry tomatoes, a harvest of (a shit-tonne of) parsley, and a harvest of green onions into tabooli. I used up the lemons from earlier this week rather than pick ones off of the tree.
We'll see how it turned out tomorrow.
