I'm speaking at a MeetUp next week - you can attend online - the first speaker is talking about making a #dotNetMAUI app from scratch, and I'm talking about making the most of the #Fediverse for #developers
Finnish Employment Minister Arto Satonen doesn't seem to know what politics is, or strikes, or labour bargaining. Because any action to affect a political decision is politics, so any strike is political. Or maybe he want to restrict the rights of workers to nullify unions and workers

So you know those papers released suggesting that #COVID19 has been killing B-cells, and so degrading or eliminating immune memory? I went to the lab to get my own blood tested, results just came back: I don't have any detectable antibodies against measles.
MMR booster scheduled for next week. Hopefully before the next #Measles outbreak.

Rereading Jane Guyer's "Marginal Gains: Monetary Transactions in Atlantic Africa" for class next week. When I first read it, I could feel the scales falling from my eyes. Guyer does a brilliant job digging into actual money use, showing how economic theory is imperialist and the ways in which it can prevent understanding on-the-ground practices that, when considered differently, make all kinds of sense. I cannot overstate how much I love this book.

Professional Referees Organization (PRO) could not come to terms with the Professional Soccer Referees Association (PSRA), so we had USL League 1 and MLS Next Pro officials this week.
On reflection, I think PSRA overestimated its members' value. The replacement refs haven't been perfect, but I don't recall any match this week that wouldn't have been made worse with the officiating of Ted Unkel or Victor Rivas.

I spent about 15 minutes trying to push it into a completely flat tire before I put about 9 lbs of air in with only the tip of the plug in the hole, blocking most of the airflow,…
