Do cats just try to trip you on the stairs or should I be taking this personally?

I’m interested in the framing of “actively avoiding” It’s implying that folks now expect folks to do this and they are just saying no

A small tech conference had "brand identification rules", ie all presenters had to identify each product by formal name. One panel agreed up "X (pause) hausting" every time a reference to twitter was required. It was magical.

My wife (who has managed ERs for many years) was trying to keep her cool reading all the headlines about the CEO and asked when someone was going to write a story about all the violence caused by insurance denials that happen to nurses and staff and doctors because patients can't get to the CEO

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok? Signed, a librarian.

After I moved to Canada a couple of years ago I realized that I was no longer constantly running a massive stress routine in the background of my mind worrying about health care and guns. It was weirdly noticeable only when it stopped.

Fair. I'm on the cusp of X and Millennial. Work in tech. I see a lot of amazing young people in tech who aren't able to manage mistakes and reasonable consequences.

Please allow your kids to make kid-sized mistakes and experience the consequences. Especially if you wonder why so few adults understand every choice has a result, sometimes negative. Let. Kids. Learn. Kid-sized. Lessons.

Y'all. Yesterday a woman realized she was a #womenintech during a group convo. She's been working in tech for over 5 years. She supports scrum processes. Can't wait to see what she does now that she has realized her additional awesomeness.

Recently I was at the doctor. The first time since I was ... 12?... that I wasn't asked for my last period date. Could it be age? Maybe. Could it be my doctors offices protecting women? Most likely.

I was listening to an interview with Ayana Elizabeth Johnson a few days ago who said we need more stories in Hollywood depicting a solutions oriented future beyond dystopia. My first thought: Star Trek’s been there this entire time. Gene Roddenberry+ have given us a lot on which to build.

A collage of 9 images from a scene in Star Trek: The Next Generatoon TV series (“The Neutral Zone” 1988) showing Picard in dialogue with Ralph Offenhouse.

From left to right:

Picard: A lot has changed in the part 300 years. People no longer obsessed over the accumulation of things. We’ve eliminated hunger, want, the need for possessions. We’ve grown out of our infancy.

Offenhouse: It has never been about possessions—it’s about power.

Picard: Power to do what?

Offenhouse. To control your life, your destiny.

Picard: That kind of control is an illusion.

We need significantly less cop/crime shows and a lot more shows looking towards what we can create. Once I stopped watching NCIS and Law&Order, my brain left behind solving and blaming and I could focus on building and creating.

Yes. Also when talking heads claim confusion about the strong overlap of "I'm doing fine" and "The economy is crap". It's almost like we ALL know too many people suffering in this system.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.

Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.
