The possibility of #Switter adopting a #PlatformCoop model has me remembering the saga of the #LustyLady #WorkerCoop peep show in SF years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lusty_Lady#Worker_cooperative

I'm looking for a non-profit or three who need a not-quite-full-time software engineer, preferably remote or in PDX. I'm burning out on working full-time for profit-seeking or capital-seeking startups and want something sustainable long-term doing something good for the world.

Mainly skilled in back-end dev in Django / Python, but flexible and self-educating.

So after 9 months on Mastodon, I really like it here. I wrote about my experience and some advice for new users over on The Outline https://theoutline.com/post/2689/mastodon-makes-the-internet-feel-like-home-again

Hey so, there's been a bit of a kerfuffle with Patreon lately after a terms of service change that threatens all sex workers

There's now an open letter to Patreon to please not do that http://www.openlettertopatreon.com/

The idea of folks losing their livelihood overnight for reasons I cannot see as justified is terrifying, and there's no Patreon alternative either.

making simple django websites is pretty relaxing

just look at this documentation, even if you're just discovering python it looks pretty good https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/db/queries/

they're even explaining quickly how kwargs work here
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/db/queries/#field-lookups

i wish more frameworks/libraries would put this kind of effort in making such a clean and complete documentation (and interfaces too, they've been breaking compatibility a few times but it's so worth it)

Oh.. no... https://mastodon.social/media/XwIDdtvNbByc1zhfT_U

Why does #JacobinMag not have a representation here on Mastodon?

do you have a bad habit? do you want to quit?

have you ever considered putting $1 per day aside to limit funding your habit?

that's 30 creatives a month you can support via #onedollarpatreon

great incentive to turn that bad habit into a great one 😉
