Massively off-topic, but after two wonderful years in Canada we've made the difficult decision to sell our base in the UK.

I'll miss the parties, the wilderness on our doorstep, and the sauna.

Posting it here just in case anyone is looking to move to a very amazing place on the Wild West coast of Scotland. I'd love for someone I know to be the next owner.

@emilybache do you have any interest in submitting to https://2023.dddeurope.com? I was thinking it might be fun to do something together, maybe around different kinds of acceptance testing and the trade-offs - approval vs BDD for example. Or a workshop about ensembling! Let me know if you're interested and we can chat.

The author puts this subjugation of women to provide free domestic labour up alongside colonialism (which also included a good deal of witch-hunting) and slavery as crucial to enabling capitalism’s “success”.

Fledgling capitalist economies of the time wanted human labour, and women controlling their bodies’ reproduction were a threat to that.

This genocide sent a clear message to women throughout Europe that their job was to be compliant wives and make lots of babies. A job that they didn’t get paid for.

I’ve been listening to https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/321857/caliban-and-the-witch-by-federici-silvia/9780241532539 today.

I learned that hundreds of thousands of peasant women were brutally tortured and killed in the 1500s and 1600s throughout Italy, Germany. Switzerland, France. England and Sweden, under the accusation of “witchcraft”

These women were essentially defying patriarchy: practicing and teaching contraception techniques to other women, performing abortions, and having sex outside of marriage.

The state did not want them to have this power.

Reconciling uber bank transactions after a work trip is a total shit-show. Weird "pending" transactions that are refunded again same day, odd little sub-$2 transactions that don't add up to anything meaningful.

What gives? Is there a way to avoid this bureaucratic hell?

Don't tell me to walk, you can't always walk.
