Your "burn out" may actually be depression. It was for me. I'm guessing it wasn't just me. 👇Thread/

Welcome to the world of tampons and sanitary towels.

I don’t know about anyone else but I’ve already spent a small fortune on masks, admittedly as a result of losing them or forgetting them at home. It’s fine for me, I can afford to buy more on the road. For those on low incomes, though, this could quickly become a problem.

A nice thing about working on the same project for many years is you’re forced to deal with the consequences of bad decisions you made long ago. Really sharpens your instinct for spotting technical debt before it starts accruing.

Why you don't say 'All Lives Matter' is the same reason you don't call feminism by other names ✊🏾

Kanye’s announcement is a great reminder that men look at job descriptions and think—“hey, I’m not remotely qualified, but I think I could do that.” Apply for all the jobs, women.

Helping a friend negotiate their salary and was reminded of the time I had an offer pulled earlier in my career for attempting to negotiate + asking for an extra day to compare offers. If this ever happens to you- RUN! Huge red flag 🙄

These couple of days helped me really see the importance in initiatives like @PFNotts Access For All. Giving people the tools they need to even have a chance at trying to do a tech job. Especially in the current mostly remote environment 6/

Because backend is such a different space. You are in control. You tell the computer to do something, and it does it. Frontend is a constant battle. It's like raising a teenager who is always talking back and doing whatever they wanna do.

I just found out I have to wear a mask when I give birth! If I can wear a mask while I cry & scream & bleed & shit myself & push a human out of my body, you can wear a fucking mask to buy your bulk Cheez Wiz at Costco.

There are two options here: 1. Time travel is a theoretical and practical impossibility, and always will be, or; 2. Time travellers have tried their best to fix 2020, and the version we're currently enduring is the best they could do. Both are equally terrifying.

the disturbing lack of time travellers arriving to stop 2020 happening suggests we never actually invent it

Alan Turing was born on this day in 1912. His innovations during WW2 saved up to 14 million lives. His country repaid him with forced chemical castration simply because he was gay. Alan then took his own life His story is a tragic reminder that law is not morality. #PrideMonth

Imagine if Shake Shack actually did poison those milkshakes. And then the government was like, “please don’t do that.” And then they did it again and killed 1000 ppl every year for roughly 50 years. And then when ppl got upset and were like, maybe we should abolish Shake Shack

Who resparked the master branch convo right now? It's upsetting me and my homegirls. We are literally fighting to save lives and y'all are fighting to save a software term. We're in a war against racsim. Keep your ridiculous term (for now) and pick a bigger battle.
