I’m uncomfortable with my appearance a lot and do not like to draw attention to myself as a sexual object and/or object of desire, so I’ll be brief but Even in the test garments I wore for three hours for the purposes of fitting, adjustment and colour/feature choosing of this suit: if you were already attracted to me then you’d have awooga eyes if you could have seen me in them
@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.

Last summer I started to get clued in to how colonialism manifests in domain names, so I began to let a number of "my" domain names lapse. One hadn't expired yet... but its time has come. This morning: > Afghanistan ccTLD Network Information Center ( af NIC ) > inclusive.af has been suspended in the registry and will no longer be included in zone file generation. This means that any services connected with this domain, such as websites or email addresses will cease working shortly.

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

These are all separate vectors: 1. VC vs user-supported 2. Files vs databases 3. Open vs proprietary formats 4. Open vs closed source 5. Extensible vs non-extensible 6. Private vs privacy-invasive An open source app can be VC-backed, store its data in a proprietary format, have terrible APIs, and include telemetry

watching the episode of queer eye set at the lousiana school for the deaf (which is the campus my father went to when he went blind! we love it) and it's clear that they were using translators and assistive technology throughout the shoot, but they removed all of it from the final cut which, I don't know, feels like a choice to me
We’re taking you back to the hallway track at THAT Conference where we have 3 MORE fun conversations: one with Samuel Goff about the future of energy, one with YouTuber Jess Chan about the future of content creation & one with Vanessa Villa / Noah Jenkins about ag tech & the future of food.
i know i disappeared, but i’m in the trenches of the seasonal sads, will be back soon!
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!
Trying to do a career change into a predominantly academic and NGO driven field in an ongoing pandemic which means I don’t want to work in an office, and in a country in which I’m not fluent in the native language, is certainly a decision I have made
This was such a great episode, there's some excellent learnings about building products, shipping awesome stuff, and just some great vibes

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).
It's time to write a conference talk, so I think it's appropriate to spend several hours building a new slide deck template.
