If you need a Pfizer vaccine, first or second dose, the Arlington Airport has lots of spare doses today and tomorrow. No appointment necessary, just come. Posting here at the request of the folks working the site.

Sadly, many folks love the idea of little girls coding, but don’t want to work with the adult women software engineers already at their company. There are similar dynamics around race. 5/

@OhKPond Get out your ukulele and let's do it!

[Megan Slater @meslater1030]

I've seen other people do this and I thought it was a little corny but now I'm doing this because I'm actually totally stoked.

@jjerome You're saving some for me, right?

[Masakhane @MasakhaneNLP]

I wrote an article about parsing dates using java.time on #Android. I'm also looking for a #job. I'm a mobile/anything developer, I might be what you are looking for. Seattle/Remote

[City of Seattle @CityofSeattle]

Seattle no está en la lista de ciudades donde se espera que ocurran redadas de ICE este domingo. Los defensores recomiendan llamar al: 844-RAID-REP si ve actividad de ICE en su vecindad o lugar de trabajo.

@NWIRP tiene info sobre Conozca Sus Derechos: https://t.co/fC8mNk46ir

[City of Seattle @CityofSeattle]

Seattle is not on the list of cities where ICE raids are expected to occur this weekend. @MayorJenny still recommends being prepared! Advocates recommend calling: 844-RAID-REP if you see ICE activity.

@NWIRP has Know Your Rights info: https://t.co/VSCT5rEPcV

fuck-it-bucket! 🤣 I've definitely been feeling these feelings as of late but I think it's passing. Still tho - sometimes I wonder whether my 5 year plan isn't to move on out into career #4.

[Lauren Cooney @lcooney]

If you’re a woman (+anyone who IDs as one/wishes to+) & thinking of dropping out of tech bc lack of support, diversity, promo issues, or general fuck-it-bucket stuff, hit me up first. We need you. Change doesn’t happen overnight but it’ll be faster if we push for it together 💯
