phone calls are all spam. emails are all spam. text messages are all spam. if you want to reach me, pin a note to my door with a jeweled dagger or don't waste my time.

I love owning a house now it's like should we do preventative maintenance on (a million things) or should we put motorized blinds in to the family room for when we watch tv and films. This also explains why all software is bad.

Shower thought: With all the data breaches, no matter how private you may be, somewhere in the world exists a hacker that knows exactly what kinks you're into, but is too shy to say hello.

@shockwaver@strangeobject.space I really like the term "temporarily-abled" for describing abled people for this reason. All abled people are only temporarily abled, unless they die suddenly while their bodies are still intact. The more people recognize the ephemeral nature of ability, the more compassionate we become as a society, I hope.

Vanity top-level domains are all fun and games until the Taliban seizes your domain.

Lots of men in tech see women in tech either as sexual tensions for their own enjoyment or as mentoring opportunities, but never as their equals. This needs to stop. #WomenInTech

There's this course called the Missing Semester (https://missing.csail.mit.edu/) that teaches you the practical stuff like using the CLI, shell scripting, Git, Vim, etc. It was created for CS students who apparently don't learn these things in class. But as a biochemistry/microbiology major turned bioinformatician, I need the CS course instead!

I've got a lot of web dev content in my feed reader and that's cool but every once in a while someone posts something completely unrelated to tech and I AM HERE FOR IT! Don't be afraid to write about your hobbies, music, movies, life. I love to read that. 💜

ADHD is like 50% not working, 50% working frantically to make up for the not working part, 50% thinking about the work I should be doing (but not actually working), and 50% not sleeping (but trying to).

Oh so now I have to remember to use a whole NEW set of pronouns? What's next, memorizing everyone's individual name out the billions of possible names???

I get that white guys have absolutely no reason to have to understand that their experience is not everyone’s considering the entire planet is catered to their perspective, but it is 2024 and the rest of us are very tired.

You wouldn’t put a mask on your face to protect yourselves but you will walk around with that ridiculous Apple headset 🤦🏼‍♀️

Massive thanks to our cohort of friendly, helpful and collaborative volunteers who made #SOOCon24 possible. Thanks for giving up your time to support the event 👏🏻

Why do you have a footer on a website that features never-ending pages that populate more and more information as you scroll?

“He don’t miss!” — me, about myself, while reading my blog

Retired old people who aren't just ... busy being sick and dying give back to their communities in HUGE ways. We had someone's grandpa come to our robotics competition to cheer the team on. The old people in my building do all the serious political organizing and man the polls. I'm too busy working being in my 40s and all that. Raising retirement ages takes away more than just "retirement" ... it makes everything harder. Far as I'm concerned it should be 59.
