i can't help but wonder, if the Democratic candidates and PACs wouldn't do better in US elections if they didn't consider a simple donation of $10 or less to be license to send the donor 4-6 money beg emails a day in perpetuity
it's exhausting and after a while it will entirely turn off voter enthusiasm.

Welp I was having a good weekend despite the fires in Los Angeles and the upcoming regime change and having eaten something Thursday that put me under the weather for a couple days and I was finally feeling a bit hopeful about turning things around with life and health and burnout
But then I caught up on mastodon and my feed is very very clear that these feelings were wrong and inappropriate and I'm supposed to feel guilty and stressed and continually aware that I have far more obligations than those I've fulfilled this week and having any relaxation is morally wrong so now I guess there I am
thanks mastodon for correcting the first good mood I've had in like 20 fucking months

Have you seen the Luc Besson movie, The Fifth Element ?
A discussion with friends last night centered around age vs exposure to the movie, so I'm posting a poll to gather data unscientifically.
Please boost for exposure, 🙏

you know what's bananas? "open enrollment" is. you have to have a "qualifying life event" in order to change or update a health insurance policy.
it's wild that "I got sick and your benefits suck" isn't enough to make such a change. if it's auto or home insurance, and there is any event at all and their claims are dissatisfying, you can go to a rival[*]. that keeps most things from getting TOO egregious. health insurance? too bad, so sad.

I was going to reply to it with a letter to get me off this mailing list
then I thought about it and thought why should I spend a 1st-class stamp + paper + toner + envelope, to save them money on materials
and that thought pattern feels familiar, I think I went through this surprise, rejection, reconsideration before, and that's why I am on the list still.
sigh

A friend of mine's daughter just started teaching in primary school and is having a Time. She tells me what's in this BuzzFeed is pretty much what her daughter is encountering.
"COVID kids" she said. Unclear to me if that's her term or quoting her daughter; I think it's her own term. I didn't ask.
My takeaway is: phonics is important y'all. If you have kids, make sure they learn phonics

this is why we need universal health care
not medicare for all
not medicare advantage for all
not medicaid for all
just, universal health care.
I don't give a shit about UBI. you wanna give someone $1000/month when health care cost $2000/month? how about just give them health care.

"We are looking for an early-career person with hands-on #FOSS community experience and (preferably!) experience working with the public sector and all that entails."
admirable as UNDP's goals are, I will gently posit that There Is No Such Thing as an "early career person" with these qualifications (especially if you click through and read the list).
