Episode 33 is out! 🫡 We are diving into the story of Lakshmi Sahgal and the Rani of the Jhansi Regiment, the first all-female combat unit in modern Indian history, formed in Singapore during World War II.

ℹ️ Most members were teenage Tamil girls from plantation communities who left estate life to train as soldiers in the Indian National Army and were later sent to the Burma front.

Good morning! I am looking for contract work. If you have 10-15 hours a week of work on a well defined technical project (‘we need to move 6 websites by this date’, ‘we need to hire a team to do an infra migration’, ‘we need to complete an accessibility audit and figure out next steps’, ‘we need to improve our docs / our onboarding process’), let me know.

I am a technical product manager who likes to be the ‘glue’ in sticky technical situations and figure out how to come out of it with useful and usable software. I’m based in San Francisco but I also have years of experience working in Asia and Europe, and can navigate time zones / remote teams / cultures / communication styles. I have experience in working in open source.

Send me an email: adrianna@futureethics.ai

If you also need help getting to ‘well defined technical project’, I can also help!

I enjoyed listening two these podcasts on Asian history back to back today
Sarah Paine Episode 1: The War For India:

I was really impressed by just how much Taiwan.

First of three new lectures from Professor Paine, followed by my questions. This time: Mao v Khrushchev v Nehru v LBJ

In Filipino families, the eldest daughter is the "parentified" sibling, bearing "the brunt of domestic responsibilities: they are expected to cook, clean, run errands, and babysit their siblings while the parents are out working."
