I was oncall over christmas and as a result I've got four days in lieu I can take back.
I'm thinking of taking four Fridays off in a row and just have a month of long weekends rather than blow my load all at once.
It's going to be niiiiice.
Find me any tech worker who would rather have a stocked snack kitchen and laundry than dignity and autonomy at work. Seriously.
To wrap up... If Twitter recovers, there will likely be a push to credit authoritarian leadership, mass layoffs, and treating workers like shit.
My dad and I went to his house to pick it up. Stayed for tea. Wonderful to have someone whose work you admire turn out to be as lovely and interesting as you’d imagined
Men should claim the “being bad at math” stereotype for themselves and use it as an excuse for lying. “Did I say 8 inches? Sorry I’m so bad with numbers”
To be clear, I love what struct tags accomplish; but think the actual experience of slinging a string we can’t error or syntax check to be wildly against the messaging surrounding Go and it’s focus on experience
You might not be on Mastodon yet, but your blog could get a torrent of traffic from Mastodon, or other Fediverse network if it’s shared there.
If your website is mentioned there, it might be the …
The thing about "we should be nicer to incels" is that in general men have such underdeveloped empathy compared to women, I guarantee they have been shown far more empathy from the women in their lives than they've ever even thought about reciprocating
Ugh, the cryptobros have invaded mastodon now. Wish they’d put their money where their mouth is and keep their “revolution” to dweb/web3 platforms like SSB
Got that weird nervous/excited/not-sure-what-is-going-on energy today.
New job tomorrow.
New people.
New processes.
New codebase.
New approaches.

has a therapist ever said something so wack to you that it gave you the ick and you had to fire them
the therapist i was seeing for gender dysphoria right before that told me the manic episode where i spent $25,000 and really just destroyed my whole life was not a real manic episode and i was exaggerating ^_^
Tonight I learned that my mom has, on at least a few occasions, suggested a single woman check out my website and contact me if interested. I found it quite funny (and sweet, of course) as a modern …
Deep-cleaned my fridge today, so if you need me I’ll be opening the door every time I walk by and sighing the satisfied sigh of someone who’ll never be young again
Now I no longer work with them I can tell some of my ex-colleagues what I *really* think of them!
@richard@bagshaw.social you're a wonderful person and you're better than you think you are, you're talented and skilled and need to trust your gut more and not let overthinking stop you, you got this!
@anthony@bitbang.social never had a team lead that fought for me like you did. You're a protector, teacher, and kind soul. I learned and grew so much working with you and it was a privilege!

If I choose to not engage with you on one social media platform repeatedly reaching out to me on multiple platforms is a form of harassment.

Fuck off with your "I'm being technically right so I'm better than you" attitude.
Humour isn't a place for "well actually..."
writing down progress each day has had the unintended side effect of wanting to have at least one thing to write down 😂 today I was very lazy but I managed to scrub the window sashes and trims as prep for painting this week
I may not be able to do some of what my neurotypical friends and family can... but I can create my art :) I started my aerial embroidery journey 3.5 years ago and love it more every day! Do you create art? What kind? #autism#ActuallyAutistic#neurodivergent
