“We are forced to block the road, because we are poisoned, everything is polluted, we can’t grow vegetables anymore,” Radivojevic said this month as she stood at the blockade.
In the new episode of New Books Network, we’re discussing my new book ‘The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia’ together with sociologist Dr. Anna Zhelnina. Enjoy listening to our conversation!
Me, trying to figure out how to implement basic drag functionality in #Bevy#BevyEngine UI without the cursor jumping to the mid-point of the dragged rectangle.😬
Well I wasted all summer, and didn't get my #VW#Squareback running so I have to drag it up into my garage to keep the rain from getting in it this winter.
Trouble is there's nothing to hook a comealong to in my garage. So I bought a D-ring from HarborFreight and rented a hammer drill and masonry bits from the tool lending library tonight.
Hopefully the anchor bolts will hold and I can get it winched up my driveway.
Publishing #books on the struggle for justice in Palestine has been a central part of #Haymarket’s mission since we published our first book, The Struggle for Palestine, in 2001. Now as ever, we recognize the root cause and ongoing perpetrator of violence in Palestine to be #Israeli settler-#colonialism and #apartheid, and we stand in solidarity with #Palestinians in their #struggle for #freedom.
"In the trap I am in
the loss of freedom
I still look around and
see beauty lurking
in surprising, small
places. In the Sunlight
and in that other genre-
shadows." -Easelbitch™️
The feeling when you bang your head against the wall for 3 hours and then just try something, but don't really believe in it and suddenly all your unit tests pass! 🎉 :awesome:
This is the beauty of #TestDrivenDevelopment - you can just try and guess until it works.😄 It's such a funny experience!
Dinge die einfach fehlen, wenn man ein Kind hat: Sich bei einem starken Anfall von #Depressionen zu verkriechen und sich einfach mal um sich selbst zu kümmern.
Dafür pro Tag etwa 1-3 Stunden Zeit zu haben, wenn das Kind einen Nap macht, ist echt nicht genug. Besonders da man in der Zeit halt auch nicht einfach nur auf sich achten kann und sich entscheiden muss, was man in den 30-90 Minuten macht, die das Kind schläft.
Gibt es hier #Eltern, die ebenso unter Depressionen leiden und ein paar Tipps haben, wie sie das durchgestanden haben?
You know what I've never needed? A male-to-male RS-232 serial cable. You know what I have a whole friggin' giant box of? Yeah. (The full 25-pin cables are fine, but the ones that ONLY have the RS-232 pins?
Why?) #retrocomputing#struggle
3/5 Part of me is actually surprised at how others evaluate my #performance when I know how much of a serious #struggle some of it is, especially #ExecutiveFunction.
These #COVID19 years and working through some of my son’s struggles have take a real toll on me. I shared about my seeking help with that.
The thing is, we tend to evaluate ourselves against an ideal. And sure enough, we fall short, feel bad & expect blame. But managers & others likely evaluate you with respect to normal human performance. Most folks are inefficient even without the high/low spikes of being #actuallyautistic .
>Never good enough. Never strong enough. Never smart enough. Never clever enough. Never fast enough… You name it, I’ve heard it be used against me. And I can assure you, words to matter.…
