Restarting my blog after a long time away.

Continuing to blog about Drupal, frontend development, nonprofit technology (nptech), and advocacy; now I'm adding Hugo, MJML, bash scripting and some other things.

Stop by and take a look if you'd like:

[New Seasons Labor Union @NSLU_PDX]

The counted ballots were 62 Yes and 15 No. There were some challenged ballots, but not enough to change the results of the election. It's a decisive win!

[New Seasons Labor Union @NSLU_PDX]

Workers at New Seasons Market Seven Corners have won their Union!

#Markdown syntax for def lists is so bizarre:

Item title
: Item definition

The colon changes the formatting of not only its line but also the *previous* one. Can't think of another situation like it.

MediaWiki's version:

; Item title
: Item definition

makes much more sense.

The @nytimes article on a park in Anacostia, DC, is beautifully designed, except...

(and no, there's no way to dismiss the message)

I get paywalling articles, but this is effectively paywalling random sentences!

I'm in love with the new #RoseLane on NE Couch! So much better than the parallel Davis bike route with its speed bumps and semi trucks parked in the turn lane on NE 12th. Thank you @PBOTinfo! 🌹🚴‍♂️🚌💨 #pdx #gobybike @BikePortland

#Portland: our city is on the verge of installing thousands of always on microphones that have a 90% error rate. Mostly in our Black and Brown neighborhoods. Gonna cost us millions and actively cause harm. Let’s resist this ShotSpotter BS, #PDX!! RSVP:

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

South Carolina state senators introduced legislation that would make it illegal to host a website or “[provide] an internet service” with information that is “reasonably likely to be used for an abortion” and directed at pregnant people in the state. https://t.co/ZGXAXhQH3V

Thanks! Also "The voice and tone of the writing" seems to appear twice in the survey (I gave the same answer to both)

[Ivan Boothe @rootwork]

@css Survey link doesn't seem to be a link...

[Interrupting Criminalization @interruptcrim]

What does abortion criminalization have to do with movements to end police violence and criminalization? Everything.

Our movements are connected and we can and must fight back together. Uplifting our resource: https://t.co/pjsbNaY6X1 #LetThisRadicalizeYou #RoeVsWade

@sniitsvee Your set was so great! Btw how can I tip/say thx? Your tracks are free everywhere which is rad but...venmo?

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

The President telling people to be peaceful while they send riot battalions to the Supreme Court, which has snipers on the roof and just ruled that women can die rather than get an abortion is truly sick.

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

The worst-case scenarios are coming home to roost. We simply cannot afford to sustain separate, siloed movements; they are coming for every hard-fought civil right won in the last 50 years. WE have to fight back like our lives depend on it. Because they do. Join us.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

The same SCOTUS that said yesterday that states don’t have the ability to regulate guns today gave states the power to regulate women’s bodies.
