They fled war in #Sudan. Now, women in refugee camps in #Chad say they’re being forced to have sex to survive. Some women say those meant to protect them, such as humanitarians & local security forces, have sexually exploited them, offering money and jobs

lock tf in. get your ass in mutual aid groups. lend your time to meal services. care for people in the way a vote simply never could. advocate for community gardens and libraries. stop betraying community. you don’t get a sticker or gold star. lock in.

We all face moments when things feel overwhelming, and that’s okay. Remember, you are not alone.

Gaby is out here ✨spreading joy✨

Gaby has been doing FANTASTICALLY since your help a few months ago! She’s grown to be healthy and happy. So happy, in fact, that Gaby’s now a therapy dog for seniors in assisted living. As you can see, sometimes she causes tears of joy ❤️‍🩹

That new DORA report? There were some fairly shocking findings about AI and platform engineering.

@jkriggins goes deep on the report with an assist from @nathenharvey. Great read!

"Your book is the first I’ve seen that defines platform engineering as not just the discipline of creating an internal developer platform, but of operating one." https://t.co/y9WTea5XFi < @jkriggins talks to @skamille and @inowland about their interesting new book

[Ari Drennen @AriDrennen]

It's crazy that everyone who worked in the first Trump administration is like "he's basically the Mad King from Game of Thrones and he must be stopped at all costs" and every major newspaper is like "there's simply not enough information to decide either way"

Wow and I’ve never had to block more than since that man bought this cess pool. This is a huge violation for anyone who is a victim of a stalker or domestic violence. And the ability to screenshot means there’s 100% ability to engage, harass, dox and endanger anyone.

Years of war in #Congo have created a dire mental health crisis. Some of the worst affected struggle to survive in cramped, violent displacement sites that aren’t conducive to recovery. But little support is available.
