So the couple in the restaurant know they aren't alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won't judge. I wear because you make them hide." Ever since seeing this, I have been wearing progressive pride buttons on each of my jackets and coats (and a cap). #queer #lgbtqia

normalize wearing n95 masks not just to avoid illness but also because it is fucking freezing outside

Teams who give monkeys power tools and let them in the engine room, how do you prevent them from breaking your engine?

Best work advice I got: Keep good notes You won't remember what they said in that meeting You won't remember when they made that decision You won't remember what you did or when or why Write it out explicitly and make life a little easier on future-you

BATCH BUNCH #0001 is complete. Thank you, everyone, for attending. Truly: a superb bunch 🫵 See you next time? 🖱️⌨️🌐😌☕️

I want to see that masculine energy doing the dishes. Meeting with the kids’ teachers. Washing and folding the laundry without being reminded five times. Caring for the sick. Speaking up for women’s rights. De-escalating conflicts. Defending against toxic and violent speech. Promoting equality. Building a better world for people who are suffering. Learning from young and old, all genders and ethnicities. Being kind. That’s the masculine energy I want to see.

The rollback of major DEI programs in FAANG companies should be a reminder that your company is not your friend and you need a union to protect your rights.

//launch event happening in 2h 48m// TODAY IS THE DAY for BATCH BUNCH #0001. Will we see you there? 👀 🗺️ details: lu.ma/8e8qsgsn

"Legacy code" is often code that you want to replace because you don't understand it. The problem is, before you can replace it, you need to understand it, and, once you understand it, replacing it is rarely the cheapest option any more. #SoftwareEngineering

Attached: 1 image Thinking of Aaron Swartz today & I’m stuck on this photo - he & OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (both circled) each scraped 1000s of docs but one did it to make the knowledge free for all while the other did it to make $$$$ through probabilistic plagiarism. The US DOJ only came after one of them & the other is feted by tech bros and executives. Thank you Aaron for so much, for RSS, for Markdown, for Creative Commons and more. I’m sorry our society failed you.

I really need people to understand that LGBTQIA people, our servers, and the things we discuss does NOT automatically mean NSFW. Often the most blatant NSFW I've ever seen are from cishet folks. This isn't to say some LGBTQIA folks can't be NSFW (they can), but it's the labeling ALL of us as such that's hurtful, problematic, and plays right into the conservative right's playbook of labeling us as sexual deviants to be erased from society. Don't do that.

I’d like to send a special “fuck you buddy” to all the boomers that told me “oh you’ll get more conservative as you get older, once you get some money” I don’t know what world those people live in, but every day since probably 1989 everything I have seen in the world has only convinced me more and more that capitalism is a disease that is destroying lives and the planet.

The company's "HR department" is for the company. Your HR department is called a Union.

If you look at every investment in “AI” as the ruling ownership class trying to find a way to make profit without having to pay actual people, all of their enthusiasm begins to make sense.

Dear speaker friends, You might know I'm the curator of https://cfp.watch. I already provide some info about conferences there, like do they pay for travel and have a Code of Conduct. I'm considering starting a new side project for speakers. I want to provide more information about conferences and conference organisers so you can decide if you wish to participate in the CfP and what you can expect at the conference. Please help me and tell me what information would be helpful for you.

Here's a no-cost, non-denominational, last-minute gift idea. Reach out to people who made a positive difference in your life but with whom you have not been in touch for a while. Tell them that they were a force for good in your life. Thank them. Be generous -- pass on this idea. Spread some joy.

Working weekends? Don't do that that's stupid. Coming into the office when basically everyone else is on PTO? Don't do that that's stupid. Not taking time off for a year because you can't find the right time or because you feel guilty? Don't do that that's stupid. It's wild how much this shit is just in the oxygen supply and someone just needs to give people permission to opt out of it.

Whoever sent me this, I love it 🥰🥰🥰

"Not that I need another side project," she says to herself as she starts another side project.

So now I am being expected to tell these greedy AI fucks that they are NOT allowed to steal my stuff to build their own business? What the actual fuck is going on?!? I should not have to chase down each of these grifters and tell them it’s ok. Are all you people who enthusiastically use these tools okay with my work being taken without my permission? Fuck you if you do and stop following me.
