RE: mastodon.social/@benroyce/117307005… 🧵 1/ I see there are many people in the replies to this post getting upset and claiming this is an unspoken social requirement in interviews and that it's unfair to the neurodiverse. I did hundreds of interviews during my time in tech […]

Non-Dutch friends often ask me how it’s possible that everyone has a bike here. It’s very easy. You just try a few of your friends’ bikes, then pick the one you like best, take a cutting, and grow it to the size you prefer. #cycling

After our last event at Out Of The Blue Drill Hall, we are taking a break for August during the festival. We will return in September and post more details about the next event late August. Enjoy the fringe! Or if you prefer, avoid anything festival-related. As some of us will also be doing.

Apologies to the affected accounts for all the spam, trying get the message out. But if you can't rely on the author of Physics for Cats, who can you rely on? Or indeed Green Party MSPs and councillors?
