I'm actually a *little* more partial to this one, but only because it weaves in character and theme so deftly.

Recently, I did a wonderful interview with the indefatigable @emilystjams.bsky.social about trans people's online information environment and why there are very strong incentives to spread panic. It was a wide-ranging discussion that I think is more relevant than ever.

I saw a *really* dumb Quora question in my email and couldn't resist.
Question: I claimed to be a transgender woman to avoid military service, and now I'm being asked for proof. What should I do?

Answer: I believe the next step is to repeatedly double down on convincing them: buying clothes, choosing a new name, learning makeup, getting a new haircut, training your voice, getting facial hair removal, starting hormones, etc. Along the way, you might also meet an attractive man or woman (depending on your preferences, which might surprise you) who falls in love with the new you, not knowing that it’s all a ruse; you feel intensely guilty about playing along, but you‘re too into them to turn them down. Eventually you realize that you didn’t really do it to avoid military service—it was the truth all along, and now you get to live as a woman for real and become the attractive man or woman’s wife.

At least, that’s how it goes in the trans fiction I’ve read. I’m sure real life works the same way!

When I was growing up, my family was in the habit of putting items that needed to be taken upstairs on the bottom stair so we would remember to do it later. That was just a collective ADHD hack, wasn't it?

A couple of the Swift ones turned out to be good starter bugs, so I did enough analysis for a new contributor to pick them up and implement the fix.

For example, years ago I accidentally wrote `try` instead of `throws` in a function signature during some weekend coding. Instead of rolling my eyes and correcting it, I filed a parser bug asking for a fix-it when you make that mistake.

One thing I didn't anticipate about joining the Swift team was that I would become incapable of writing Swift code for more than a few hours, or spending more than a few days using my phone on vacation, without finding something I ought to file a radar about.
