I don't really understand the current reality of tech companies. A company that employed several talented peers of mine seems to have laid them all off now. In November they raised forty seven million dollars in funding.James Seconde (@SecondeJ)Fri, 17 Feb 2023 10:11 GMT

I've finally, after years of putting it off, paid to have myself assessed for ADHD. It'll be nice finally knowing if there is a reason I struggle so much with some things or if this is just how everyone feels all the time. #adhd
"What if we took 2-3 months to rewrite the whole thing? Start from scratch, fix all the mistakes we know about, and we will have a clean state, all our problems solved." There's a divide between engineers who thought about doing this, and those who did it, and it's a big one.Gergely Orosz (@GergelyOrosz)Fri, 17 Feb 2023 08:47 GMT

This is such a good point. Over the last couple of weeks, I am consistently thankful to you for sharing your thoughts. I like to think I can imagine all scenarios. Yet it’s a treat when you prove me wrong. Which is daily. 💜

The new @McDonalds advert is not only annoying, it is promoting bad OpSec and practices and encouraging office staff to follow them.

One thing they don’t tell you before you get a dog is how much time you and your dog parent friends will spend talking about poo. An area of expertise I did not expect in this life

My average day atm consists of 8- 4 Sit down at laptop, set endless timers, mentally scream at myself to get work done.

I am truly sorry that your timeline isn’t filled up with John Mastodon posts. Meeting with the engineers now.
I wrote about the process (https://www.jvt.me/posts/2022/12/09/adhd-diagnosis-process/) when I got diagnosed last year (https://www.jvt.me/posts/2022/10/04/adhd/) and would be happy to chat more about it ☺
I am furious. Though I try not to humour conspiracy theories, or suggest that there is any grand overture to what is usually an uncaring and cold world, but I cannot ignore what is a transparently-synchronized movement against the tech industry’s workforce.
How it is now in your best interest to act.

Prioritize spending time with people you feel safe enough to be soft and imperfect around. Seek out and cherish people whose love is not contingent upon you performing a role for them. Prioritize relationships with room for your whole self, and hold that space for others.trash, but make it fashion 🦝✨ (@ElleArmageddon)Wed, 15 Feb 2023 15:49 GMT

Three of these beautiful people were murdered by their parents. In general, two thirds of trans people murdered knew their assailant (@hrw). Keep that in mind when you hear about laws where a teacher must inform parents if their child requests different pronouns in class.twitter.com/elierlick/stat…Post details
Brianna Ghey wasn't the only trans teen killed recently. Just in the U.S., Ariyanna Mitchell, Katie Newhouse, and siblings Jeffrey Bright & Jasmine Cannady all lost their lives to violence. Every one of their names should be remembered in the fight to end trans dehumanization.

In Episode 80, Alex and James are joined by the incredible Hana Walker-Brown to discuss being diagnosed as adults with ADHD. Alongside Hana's story, the usual bits of nonsense occur, including 'What has James lost, forgotten or mislaid this week...
