7 years old. That’s how old my daughter is when she’s been told by a peer she needs to cut out treats to lose her belly. And she’s begging us to let her cut out treats so she can lose her belly. She doesn’t have a belly. She’s fit & strong. And even if she had a belly, she’s 7.

My own psychologist refused to see me anymore because she said she felt uncomfortable that I would be paying her via money I made in sex work. Just in case you didn't know how stigma and discrimination impacts sex workers and their healthcare...

Funniest part of implementing this was I had to rework the system test suite because it started failing everywhere we were using passwords like "password123". github.com/bullet-train-c…

… blogging is great isn’t it? You don’t have to write every week or every day. Just write when you have something you want to write about, and up it pops in RSS feed readers, or posted to Twitter, or whatever. Lovely. — Phil Gyford

Just absolutely atrocious web apps from every HR company I've ever used, why is this? There is no regulatory requirement that says your app should be shit. They have infinity money to hire good people. What am I missing?

"not much" is glossing over the fact that binance's luna holdings, which were nominally worth $1.6 billion, are now worth $2,900

2/ Binance received 15,000,000 LUNA (at peak worth $1.6 billion USD, now not much) as part of the original ($3m) invest. 560x return at peak. It still sits on the address we received at 👇. Never moved or sold. Address: finder.terra.money/mainnet/addres…

Next time I fuck up, I’m going to ask myself if I’ve ever turned $1.6 billion into $2,900.

People with mental illness don't want to be special. We just want a world that works as well for us as it does for people who don't have a mental illness.

People living with mental illness do our absolute best to heal. We still deserve to live a full life as much as everyone.

The world doesn’t need to change to accommodate your illness. YOU need to fix your illness to get right with the world.

As a veteran of 70s and 80s P.E. classes, I am always prepared for any emergency operations that may require taking temporary shelter under a parachute.
