I might have been on the news in like... 2008 for this. Reporter saw a college kid coming out, figured I was lazy. Got both dead parent barrels instead. (The lawyers had only finished some paperwork I needed a couple days before)

Hard agree; creating kindness with intentionality and making people feel seen in a genuine way has transformed my public interactions. It feels wonderful when I can help someone else have a genuine smile. The change it has in how people treat me in return is hard to explain. #MakeKindnessNormal

I'm a fan of giving the OnCall a weighty say for Friday deploys. Need to add a new dept to a well- understood table? Have fun. Migrate a new interface to turn on next week? Sure! Please don't deploy and turn up a major change to a critical system.

Would someone please tell me why being on a treadmill has been one of the LEAST appealing ideas my entire adult life until now. When 20 minutes of treadmill time will tank my blood sugar. NOW I just want to hang out on the damn thing.

The SAVE Act is not about protecting elections—it's about stopping voters, in particular women, from making their voices heard. This bill would prevent millions who changed their last names from registering to vote. I'm fighting against this blatant attack on the right to vote.

Cory Booker is unstoppable right now. If you aren’t watching, you are missing history in the making. Tune in, and make sure to send support and gratitude his way, along with any other politician that is doing everything in their power to defend democracy.

The Senate yesterday vs the Senate today. We support Senator Booker's speech.

Photo of the window display at our bookstore. Full of books and topics, much like the floor of the Senate yesterday.

The same bookshelf as the previous image. The bookshelf shows scattered book displays that are empty, with the exception of one book. The title is "On Tyranny".

A close up of the book "On Tyranny" on an otherwise empty book display.

So proud of my body today. I did a 6-3-30 (it's like a 12-3-30, but half the incline) without my blood sugar dipping below 80! I will figure this stuff out one day, I swear.

This morning the deer were in the yard, and tonight I sat in the quiet dark listening to the owls call through the woods, and the geese butt in from the reservoir. No lights. No generator. No slamming. No beeping. Just owls.

I was feeling a little dramatic being as annoyed and exhausted with The Movie People as I was. But they finished filming, and there's a minimal crew cleaning up now. And I feel like I can breathe again.

Is it inefficient to design a bridge to hold more weight than it's rated for? Is it inefficient to design your plumbing to withstand unexpected abuses? People who insist that government be maximally "efficient" do not appreciate why we have government at all

The very specific, very uncomfortable moment of grief when you realize that it is time to cancel your membership to the professional death doula orgs for a while. It was a dream that I almost had in my hands. But then we moved, and now I have an expensive chronic condition to deal with.

I can't tell you how much it amused me that someone actually published a paper on their study of whether a CGM reads different between left and right arms. tl;dr: right arms read significantly higher than left arms. I'm not completely crazy. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

I am beginning to wonder if my left arm is a cursed placement for my sensor. My #libre3 is all over the place tonight (jumping from 79 to 138 in seconds, then back to 99), and the last one I had in my left arm kept reading more than 20 mg/dL lower than finger stick. #t2d
