A programming note.

I’m pausing my email newsletter for a bit. More importantly, here are some organizations doing important work right now, and some resources I’ve found helpful.

Just a brief post to note that after this entry, I’m pausing my email newsletter for a bit. With everything happening in my country right now, I don’t feel right bombarding folks’ inboxes with blog entries. I debated even sending this note, but, well, I decided I’d at least mention it. If this is unwelcome noise to you right now, I understand, and I’m sincerely sorry.

I’ll likely keep writing, mainly to help with my anxiety. But I won’t be broadcasting new posts via email or Twitter. Of course, you can still sign up for my email newsletter, but new emails won’t go out until I turn things back on—probably in a week or three. In the meantime, folks subscribed to my RSS feed can still be notified of new entries.

For now, I’d like to leave you with a list of resources I’ve found helpful right now, as well as a list of organizations that could use your support. This list isn’t exhaustive or complete, but it does have a few things that’ve been helpful to me. Maybe they’ll be helpful to you, too.

Thanks, as always, for reading.

Black lives matter.
