I don’t usually post this kind of thing and I don’t want to seem self-centered, but I’m unusually proud of myself today, and I’m remarking on what boundaries, self care, and self-discovery will do for a person.

(And obviously, hair and makeup)

And now, I love 2019 me. But I didn’t back then.

@inthehands (not referring to you, btw. But it is more common than not.)

@inthehands what about those of us in the US who don’t want to read the mostly misinformed hot takes of software engineers

Saw a video of police pushing students down the stairs at Columbia. I am shaking, I’m so angry.

How cowardly do you have to be to show up in full riot gear and rough up unarmed peaceful protestors. So despicable.

Today is International Women’s Day. Women in Gaza do not have access to menstrual products and often have to share a bathroom with hundreds of others.

Nothing makes me feel as unsteady as a slack UI update

@chockenberry so many questions. What do the batteries power, is it the pan? The tablet? The stove? The person???

I love the handful of days a year when people aren't wildly speculating about my workplace 😂

Many people have missed the joke,

The pedantry and didactic "culture" of this place is exhausting. My mastodon feed is saturated with people arguing about instances and servers and federation. On Threads I'm seeing pet pictures. I'm seeing art. I'm learning about world events. People spend so much time arguing about platform philosophy that they forget the whole point of the platform is the users.

Some people feel like they're not smart enough to be software engineers and I'm here to tell you: being smart is not at all a prerequisite!

Be *inspired* by the legions of folks who don't let their lack of critical thinking skills get in the way of having prolific careers in tech 🥰

Mastodon users: everyone is welcome here!

Also Mastodon users: no not you

Mastodon users: everything should be federated!

Also Mastodon users: no not you

Why did it have to get this far for people to realize Elon is a n*zi

The lengths people will go to in order to avoid saying “I don’t know”
