Semi-related question: I really love working w/ #Django & would love to learn/do more. If I'm interested in continuing on the #freelance path, is Django a useful route to go (as one tool in my toolbox), or not so much? #codenewbie #womenwhocode

@yashalevine I feel like this is a very gracious assessment of the state of affairs with this guy. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[katjacodes @katjacodes]

@returnstosender Best thing I've seen all week. (Which tells you something about my week. But man, this is glorious.)

Shoutout 📢📢 to this amazing human. Sooo much JavaScript knowledge & support troubleshooting issues w/ it in moments when I got stuck, & all explained in understandable terms. Totally makes sense that Dom's cousin would want to learn from him! #codenewbie #womenwhocode

[Dom Habersack @domhabersack]

I just learned that my 13 year old cousin, who is teaching himself web development, found my YouTube channel and watches all of my videos.

My heart is melting.

@yechielk Satire is dead.

Rookie mistake: Not really understanding the purpose of apps in Django & just starting to build. Then having to untangle the mess once you understand what all of it is actually supposed to look like. #lessonlearned 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ #codenewbie #womenwhocode

[katjacodes @katjacodes]

Turns out the next module was about how to create forms based on models. But honestly, stepping through it myself: This stuck in ways no tutorial ever does. #codenewbie #womenwhocode #django

[katjacodes @katjacodes]

Sooo, just researched & figured out how to build a #Django form based on a Django model and render it in HTML. Which, 🎉🎉🎉 BUT on top of that: I actually understand what I did. So, so excited. #codenewbie #womenwhocode

@returnstosender This does not get said enough.

@rubenmcloop Das ist eine Scheiß-Zerissenheit. Auf der einen Seite kann ich "Wir müssen deren Ängste nur Ernst nehmen" nicht mehr hören. Auf der anderen Seite ist mein Vater 77 und ungeimpft. Erschöpfung trifft es gut.

@yechielk Most ppl around me, including myself, have received the booster shot. What really worries me is the health of my 2-year-old. Apparently, it's milder overall but more severe for younger kids, & we are light years away from a vaccine for this age group, apparently.

@returnstosender Wait, wait, wait, you *own* matryoshka dolls that *belonged* to Svetlana Boym? (You studied w/ her, right?) #academicfangirling for just one second b/c what else do we have left?

[katjacodes @katjacodes]

Working with #django, and it's so intuitive and user-friendly, wondering if it's b/c I'm starting to get the hang of coding, or b/c django is just amazing? Maybe both? Either way, this is nice. 😀 #codenewbie #womenwhocode

@returnstosender Little person over here is also weirdly obsessed with cows. Is this a developmental stage? 😂🐮

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

I mean, it’s been said constantly, but the refusal to prioritize public health over corporate profits is what doomed the pandemic response. Keeping everyone healthy was never a priority over getting low wage workers back to work.

Heading into the winter COVID wave, Biden—who campaigned promising to have an administration built on science, education & at least 10K of student debt relief—is now saying NO to:

—KN95 mask distribution

—mailed or free home COVID tests

—student debt relief

[katjacodes @katjacodes]

@returnstosender ...and no one was surprised. we're in such deep trouble. 😫

Das Offensichtliche: #Präsenzpflicht besteht, damit Arbeitnehmer:innen nicht zu Hause bleiben müssen. Mit befürchteten Bildungsdefiziten, psych. Belastung oder anderen Problemen der Kinder hat das nichts zu tun. Eltern sollen die Infektion hinnehmen. #KinderdurchseuchungStoppen
