Like many of my colleagues, I've been affected by tech layoffs; my full-time gig was just eliminated. Still running CF, OPE!, and my newsletter (links in my bio) and I'm still freelancing. As always, would love to be considered for writing and coding opportunities. Love y'all ♥️

Perhaps nothing else will make you into a healthcare system reformer quite like trying to get care for your aging parents. The seeming impossibility of getting them real help even when they have good insurance and family support and enough money is truly unreal.
