I’m honestly still pretty shaken up about this. Ten straight minutes of having someone screaming threats of gendered violence at me, and following me when I tried to get away, is a scary experience!
The stranger who stepped in really did make a huge difference.
Genuine gratitude to the person who just stood and waited for the bus with me when they noticed someone was threatening me.
There aren’t enough people like that in the world.
I get it for opioids, but fuck off with gatekeeping ADHD meds. People are finally able to access care, and they wanna take it away.

I was recently debugging an issue in some integration-style Go tests which made me realize that I didn't have a very deep understanding of how parallelism works when using `go test`.
Welp it turns out that the slow builds on my site (> 25 minutes, mostly due to the size of it) that have been causing GitLab to time out can be resolved by upgrading the size of CI runner that was launched several months ago!
my coming out anniversary is rather nebulous so i’m gonna say it’s “around now”.
i came out to:
* my partner sep 2020
* close friends 16th feb 2021
* family 12th mar 2021
* work 23rd mar 2021
* everyone else on 31st mar 2021 (trans day of visibility).
It’s my 30th birthday 🍰✨
The last year was tougher than expected so I’m crawling back on to this hell site to shamelessly request a compliment to help me start this new decade 😘
Re: last tweet
I'm totally aware that being able to have any control over what work you do is a luxury
I'm constantly grateful that my background and childhood interests led me to into a career in tech that can be rich in interesting work
I'm slowly changing my attitude from: "I should be able to do work I don't find interesting"
To: "I am not able to do work I don't find interesting"
A small change but it feels important, enabled by gradually processing my diagnosis of #ADHD
