what timeline is this?! not dolly parton and tim curry back to back. my high school bestie’s mum took a gaggle of us to a shadow cast performance of rhps and i was instantly hooked (and got fishnets and a DVD of rhps in my Christmas stocking from my parents next, ha).

Honestly, this hits on what is perhaps a generational shift. I am seeing challenges in the workplace because people literally don't read the parts of docs they're not tagged in. We expect EVERYTHING to be brought to us, instead of looking more broadly, trusting that there is value in discovery.

In true Shannon fashion, I am watching yet another TV show way after it was established to be very fun. Brooklyn 99, Parks and Rec, The Office. Late to the game. I started watching Bridgerton for Spring Break. So drama, very delight.

Remember how hard tech bros marketed this as being the “inevitable future” (see: @tressiemcphd.bsky.social) that we all HAD to get onboard with and would make trillions of dollars and disrupt life as we know it? Hmm.

The sharks are innocent. Or at least, they’re not eating the internet. The myth is almost as old as the global internet itself. It begins with the development of TAT-8, the first subsea fiber optic cable to cross an ocean.

Say Goodbye to the Undersea Cable That Made the Global Internet Possible

History was unmade last year, as engineers began the massive project of ripping the first-ever transoceanic fiber-optic cable from the ocean floor. Just don’t mention sharks.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

thehandbasket.co

How Kansas Republicans weaponized the law to target 300 trans driver's license holders

SB 244 was put into effect virtually overnight, causing chaos, panic and fear in the trans community.

Ever wonder what happens to a cable when it’s no longer cabling? Wonder no more! This story has been a joy to write, and I hope I’ve done everyone in it justice. I hope the story of the people of infrastructure cleanses your timeline a little. (And I promise it’s not about sharks.)

This is a reminder that ICE is still in Minnesota, that people still can’t leave their homes, and that funds are starting to run dry. Please donate if you can. Places like food shelves are struggling to meet the community’s needs.
