Cheeky referral link, but a good one: if you're doing your UK tax return (ew) then I recommend Tax Scouts as an affordable accountancy service. I nearly overpaid by £2k this year because I didn't know wtf I was doing. And here's 10% off: https://taxscouts.com/i/SOPHIE395

I'm super excited to be part of the Open Source and Open Source Software Track Call for Papers (CFP) committee at #OpenUK's second State of Open Conference 🚀

It's my first time getting involved in the CFP process and I've got some great folks to learn from on the committee, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing what awesome sessions y'all have to share.

You've only got till Friday to submit a session, so best get sending them to https://stateofopencon.com/cfp/ 👀

This whole conference debacle is so disappointing. Speakers, when invited to a conf will say “who alls gonna be there?” I’ve my rules for participation posted on my site - including an inclusive lineup - for years. I was duped by the fake speakers also. I remind all conf organizers that there are THOUSANDS of speakers of all walks of life, genders, ages, backgrounds. I offer 920 for you to invite to your confs http://hanselminutes.com/episodes inclusion means doing the work. So, do the work, friends.

I always thought of [Spoon Theory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoon_theory) as covering chronic illnesses with physical impact, so I've avoided using it for myself. I say "cognitive resources" instead to describe my similar but not identical #ADHD issues. But maybe I can have a little fun with it. What about "Spork Theory?" I've got an entire damn drawer of resources, but they're individually wrapped, not reusable, not well-suited to any one task, and break if you try too hard.

Wow. https://archive.is/wAt0i, an archived copy of https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-22/nlrb-files-case-against-mozilla-for-not-hiring-labor-activist. This is really what I'm afraid of. And I'm stupid findable on the Web (thanks to not using an alias — that bit me in the ass very fast — like in 2013, but whatever). I'm hoping Cher wins this case; I'll be following it closely. Especially because I've applied like four times at Mozilla with not as much as a reply if the role was closed or anything. Sidenote, though, I hate the fact that's this idea that we can sign away rights because we have a contract — and that's never clear if it's actually the case. I really am glad she stood up.

Ah, would you look at that, after a few days of respite following Halloween, the bellends with fireworks are back to scare the living shit out of pets like our puppy, folks with PTSD, etc. PS. Wanna hear a joke? Fireworks are illegal in Ireland. #ireland #fireworks #bellends #pets #ptsd

The GNU folks: Hehehe, we called it GIMP. And the main branch is called master. Because GIMP, get it?! We couldn’t possibly change it because *fart noises* Also GNU folks: Why does everyone think we’re three misogynistic 12-year-old boys in a neckbeard suit? There are so many low hanging fruits for you folks to embrace inclusivity and make a dedicated effort to clean up your act but you seem too bloody busy pissing all over the tree to mark your territory. #foss #fsf #inclusivity #gnu #gimp
