A Texas mom was denied maternity leave after delivering a stillborn baby
Andres works for the City of Austin in the Austin Public Health Department. After returning home from the hospital, Andres says she informed her HR department that she'd "be taking maternity leave a little bit early" because she had lost her child.
"They said: 'Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, but you don't qualify for (leave) anymore,'" Andres says.

Thank #Abbott for this cruelty 😡 😡 😡

I'm seeing a lot of chat about the migration of "reddit brand" concepts like AMA and IAmA. We should probably come up with alternatives? Who's got some suggestions?

Two mags already exist here:

Decided I'm going to go ahead with my Kbin mobile app.

Yeah I know i have a lot on the go, but I use Apollo daily, and want a solid Apollo like experience for Kbin.

I'm willing to hand over the project to Kbin if they want, and would love to work closely with the developer on this if possible.

Will be starting this next week, after my camping trip! It will be open source from the start, and contributors will be gladly welcomed! #kbin

@acb @dansup probably React Native, based on Dan’s toots

@ernest Hi there, I just want to express my interest in helping out, as I am fortunately a PHP developer.

Areas where I can help the most:

• Triaging issues and generally keeping the issues list tidy
• Contributing to developer quality-of-life things, such as setup documentation and improving tooling configurations
• Helping set up a CONTRIBUTING.md (contributing guidelines)
• Making UI/UX suggestions (as if we don't have enough of those already)
• Once I get more familiar with the codebase:
  • Reviewing PRs
  • Working on code structure / SOLIDness / readability / etc.

Feel free to review my GitHub account if you like. I have a lot of unfinished projects there ;)

@ernest Looks like my first task is getting my own environment up and running, which will hopefully yield something worth contributing.

@look997 If I'm not mistaken, it's not meant to resemble the letter V, but rather a Manila folder (note the little tab on the left).

Some thoughts on voting UI

@cody I agree with unifying a post or comment's "score" into a single number, however I think it would be cool if the raw numbers were still accessible -- for example, as a title/tooltip when you hover over the vote buttons, maybe. Or you could put both numbers in a tooltip on the unified number.
