Do you ever work really hard for something, achieve it, then feel like it's not a big deal because *you* were able to do it? What do you do to register a sense of a accomplishment instead of just moving on to the next challenge? #founderMentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #entrepreneurship

2 things I've learned so far this year: 1. Your user is not necessarily your customer 2. If you can't get people to set aside time for you, they won't set aside budget, either. You can figure that out without a single line of code. #startup #founder #womenintech

I wonder if the reason TERFs are so committed is because they associate their femininity with survival. To be socialized female is to suffer in many ways, for many walks, because you're fem. It's not an excuse. But it might be insight into the root of the illness of anti-trans hatred.

My god. My child is stomping through the house in his pajamas, playing Duel of the Fates on a kazoo. It's been half an hour. I'm too frustrated to stop him. It's like I'm frozen. There was no class on this.

Exploiting labor through economic desperation is setting us back as a species. People are more creative, more productive, more invested, and more inquisitive when our basic needs are met.

It is amazing that there is a public culture of child hatred, and they're the same people using "what about the children" to vilify everyone else.

IDK where it fits into the spectrum of allowable debate, but my philosophy is generally leave people the fuck alone unless you're offering food.

Look there is nothing wrong with being ungovernable. There is nothing wrong with being difficult. But there is nothing redeemable about being an asshole. Know the difference.

I have had not 1, but 3 engineers get really excited about startup, then bail when it turns out the whole "raise $10M on an idea and a FAANG resume" is a fairy tale. If you're an expert with grit and an idea, don't wait for a tech co-founder. Get tight with AI and YouTube. #entrepreneur #founder

My toxic trait is being hyper aware of the fact that when I say "without libraries, I'd have never gotten out of the projects," a double digits percentage of legislators see that as an argument for banning libraries.

It is NOT difficult. Identify the oppressor. Identify their target. Protect the targeted, especially the vulnerable. The role of the persecuted is to distract the exploited and make both profitable. REBEL.

No, the far left and far right aren't the same. Rounding people up and putting them in camps is bad. Mass deportations is bad. Gender affirming care and universal healthcare are good. Saying that the left and right are both authoritarian is just doing that dril tweet unironically.

Anyone else feel pain when you're listening to music with headphones on and the sound switches back and forth, speaker to speaker? It hurts! Anyone feel like music is enhanced by doing that?

Kendrick Lamar won the Pulitzer for his work. I say this so maybe, maybe people will grok that when you put a decorated artist of that caliber on the stage, the performance is going to have a backbone to it that, like other Pulitzer decorated art, requires thought, engagement, and serious analysis.

While the half-time symbolism is hot, lemme just say: "Cultural Appropriation" is a neoliberal social policing concept designed to promote segregation "politely." Love art and the people who make it. You belong where you contribute. Ask questions. Listen to answers. Fuck segregationists.

For 60 years we let our nation be run by unimaginative people who remember throwing baseballs at Black toddlers for prizes at the local carnival and now we're surprised that they have recreated memories instead of ideals?

Indescribable violence of white Americans playing a popular carnival game of Hit the N-word Baby. As recent as the 1950s.

Among other things, #autism is a developmental disorder. But Black women are expected to function and be used as full adults by age 10. So everybody's real mad when they meet you nearly 40 and you struggle to conceal childlike excitement for your hyperfocus. Just a convo I feel is missing.

They did not, however, publish the names, photos, or public information of the administrators of the site. Nor did they publish where they obtained the "hundreds of millions of dollars" they boasted spending on dismantling "DEI initiatives".

I will never forget having to carry clear backpacks to school. I will never forget cops making surprise visits to my 3rd grade classroom. I will never forget men in black wearing shiny, jingling objects close to their guns to get our attention. It was the 90s. They called us "super predators."

If you're wondering how you can support trans people in TTRPGs: First buy directly from indies. Give to their ko-fis. Then, support companies that give a shit about trans creators. Paizo is one of those.
