This time next week I'll be working on Phase 3 of plan: get Tuna the hedgie to love me. Phase 1: befriend SHaug. Phase 2: fly to Seattle.
-
Phase 3 is probably the most elaborate. It involves a basket of hedgie delicacies and 10 kinds of soap. I have convinced r343l to help me.
-
Should I put more effort into getting the hedgie's preferred human to like me? I have British candy and glass hedgehogs from Venice for her.
-
Is it harder to get a tween girl to like you than a hedgehog? These are the questions that keep me up at night.
-
SHaug well that's good but given your warnings about the hedgie I cannot be optimistic that streets ahead is positive.
-
SHaug would an adorable hat help with that?
-
SHaug amazing. has she been to nyc? will it seem exotic? I should have thought of this in venice.
-
SHaug awwh that's super cute. I am blocks from the MOMA design store. I will start there.

juliaferraioli :) you know I am terrified of dogs?
-
juliaferraioli it's okay :) I don't mind videos of them but I don't really find them cute. I know they are just waiting to eat me.
-
SHaug juliaferraioli I would prefer not to be eaten by a dog please.
-
SHaug juliaferraioli no I am definitely thinking about dogs. I am very allergic to cats so that would be a more asphyxiated demise.
-
SHaug juliaferraioli of course if the cat had an owl bff then I am totally down with that being how I die.
-
SHaug juliaferraioli I am not a plant!! I am sure dogs lick you so they can better hunt you down and eat you later.
-
SHaug juliaferraioli you mean if they were tigers?
-
SHaug juliaferraioli you have bought into dog PR. this is exactly what they want.
-
SHaug juliaferraioli okay but there's no need for a cat to actively try and kill me. If they sit near me I will stop breathing and die.
-
SHaug juliaferraioli I mean I assume this is what would happen. I don't spend much time around cats for this reason.
-
SHaug juliaferraioli this is what they want you to think. I will be very sad when your dog eats you and hope you do not suffer too much.
-
SHaug juliaferraioli dogs are like bad boyfriends. they pretend to be affectionate and then they kill you.
-
SHaug juliaferraioli I mean not that I have tested the full extent of that either. I leave the country at the first sign of trouble.
-
SHaug juliaferraioli this is accurate. But one of these is deliberate. The other one of my life's greatest tragedies.
-
SHaug juliaferraioli okay we have very different troubles with boyfriends.
-
SnugglePolish I was telling geekygirlsarah about your podcast because she is doing a video series that reminded me of it?
-
SHaug juliaferraioli there's still time. Until your dog eats you. Although I don't recommend them.
-
SHaug juliaferraioli I don't want the dog to love me only slightly less than I don't want him to eat me alive.
-
SHaug juliaferraioli he's lulling her into a false sense of security. Ani! No!
-
SHaug juliaferraioli Tuna is pretty small though so eating a human would be a long term effort.
-
SHaug juliaferraioli are you saying that if i make tuna whatever that is she will love me?
-
SHaug juliaferraioli ... I will do anything for Tuna. Even watch a terrifying movie involving I think cannibalism?

Had multiple comments about charging (+tive and -tive) for ShowAndHide and I will write about my thinking at some point.
-
Short story is I would sooner just charge people $ than try and make attention into a business model. I don't want to make digital crack.
-
And ShowAndHide is a tool. Pay for it and have cool pictures. If you don't want to pay for it, use something else or nothing at all.

I was confused as to why my tests aren't working but I think I'm going to go with "because it's 930 and I'm on a train".
-
Actually that worked out if they had been working I might not have noticed I needed to get off that train and who knows where I'd end up.
-
Oh shit wrong penn station.
-
skamille I don't know I was writing some tests and I couldn't get them to work and now I am in New Jersey what fresh hell is this
-
Next stop is sicacaus or something I don't have a train ticket this is all going very wrong.

What kind of place names two stations the same name? Why didn't I eat dinner? Why don't my tests work? These are the questions I ask myself.

skamille lara_hogan I did!!! And I was so confused!!! And then I just got on another train and hoped for the best.
-
sara_ann_marie they need to tell people! Like "you might think this is the penn station you want but THAT WOULD BE MISTAKEN"
-
lara_hogan oh good you can track my location to my last tweet so people can reconstruct what happened to me if this is the end of me.
-
therealfitz any sounds more than adequate tbh

sara_ann_marie it's like a horrible trick to get people to visit New Jersey

This is why I take ✈️ not 🚉 because ✈️ don't generally stop in random places and if they do that is CLEARLY COMMUNICATED.

I need the hedgehog to love me or at least not show too much overt distain for me.

-
CatSwetel And then dude supervisor wanted to have convo about leggings as pants, said I needed to file written complaint. So nothing happen
-
CatSwetel I had / have gold status on that airline and they were good the time I got sexually assaulted on the plane.
-
CatSwetel this was in the UK! And I was wearing a dress over the top!

CatSwetel yep having status is def something that makes me feel safer when I fly.

-
SaraJChipps I AM ALSO MEETING A HEDGEHOG TODAY
-
ashedryden omg I love pumpkin 💜🐼
-
This hedgehog lives so far away from downtown I am not certain she is really in Seattle. Never let it be said that I won't commute for love.
-
Only hedgehogs tho humans don't be getting ideas.
-
Anyway this gives me time to tell y'all about the final preparations. Earlier r343l and I bought berries and soap.
-
I also have gifts for petunias associated humans.
-
Anyway the soap is because LittleMxSurly told me if a hedgie likes how your hands smell they will get all delighted and snuffly!!
-
Obviously an opportunity for A/B testing. So I got some very scent less soap. Also because hedgies like fruits some appealing fruit soaps.
-
Was going to buy more kinds of soap but don't want to overwhelm a small creature also don't want the humans to worry about my mental health.
-
My mental health is very good thanks and I have a perfectly normal level of affection for hedgehogs.
-
I also showered very thoroughly and put on clean clothing so hopefully the hedgie won't find me objectionable.
-
pilky thank you!
-

-
Meeting hedgie was everything I dreamed of. Very late for social engagement 6/6 but achieving a life goal so I hope my friend understands.
-
SaraJChipps hedgie was amazing a++ would hedgehog again
-
SHaug juliaferraioli well we will see who is right worst case you have to host tomorrow's event and also explain to my boss.

I never thought I would see star wars and yet here I am in a movie theatre making poor life choices on a Sunday night.
-
If I live tweet it will people be angry.
-
So far trailers for other movies look completely unappealing. I may - like 2 of my friends seeing this movie this weekend - nap.
-
I'm told this movie may pass the Bechtel-Wallace test so that would be exciting. SHaug has assured me he will wake me up if that happens.
-
Argh it's starting why did I do this. This was such a past cate thing to do.
-
donasarkar haha okay! I will try.
-
Okay mostly made very little sense but primarily seemed to be a movie about people murdering each other. I liked the cute little robot tho.
-
I much preferred sisters which I also saw today (both movies I saw this year I saw today) so if you're debating one or other I'd go w/that.
-
It isn't a visit to Seattle without a late night danshapiro adventure though!
-
juliaferraioli yeah I mean tiny robots not large murderous robots.
-
SHaug hmmm hmmmmmm hmmmmmmm I didn't see much redemption. But I appreciated the scary warnings and place to hide.
-
juliaferraioli is it a personality weakness or a general positive quality of open mindedness?
-
SHaug although they do all seem to be related by "family drama" do you mean "incestuous cluster fuck"?
-
SHaug I think one was enough forever. But I am happy I saw it with y'all. You and danshapiro can feel special!
-
SHaug I did I could have been confused by the other less murderous movie. This is why people spread their movie watching out over time.

Also I have learned an important lesson that the dec 24 ORD-FRA ✈️ is way more popular than I ever imagined.

So the guy on the plane next to me randomly touched me whilst I was dozing and I screamed and possibly hit him. He apologized a lot.

A big part of how homogeneity in tech persists is that we don't acknowledge the rest of the world outside this one small part of America.
-
Even just considering the US, the NYC tech scene is way more diverse than SF/bay. Seattle is super white, but many cool women at least.
-
Outside of the US let's talk about the rest of the goddamn world. Hmm? Berlin is vibrant. London has fintech. Ask buritica about LATAM.

-
yoniweisbrod chiuki that being said, we are pretty clear in what we're trying to do and we accept it won't be what everyone wants.
-
yoniweisbrod chiuki my impression is a lot of things that are focused on new speakers are more static. We take a more kaizen approach.

juliaferraioli GREAT! I got like, one apology. From someone who didn't realize that I wasn't getting some recognition he thought I was.
-
juliaferraioli I really appreciated it. I felt like it was a strong sign that he wouldn't make that assumption again going forward.
-
juliaferraioli yeah f'sure I would never want to encourage that. This was in context of a long and honest conversation about diversity work

davidlymanning I think that depends on the context. Someone you still have a relationship with, not necessarily.

therealfitz I have big plans to stay still for most of February tho.
-
therealfitz I am going to work on my Spanish and maybe try and make a friend.
-
tTikitu yeah I guess so although you make me realize that is a broader category than I thought
-
therealfitz I was thinking a human friend there are apparently no hedgies in Colombia.
-
therealfitz it's otherwise delightful and one can't have everything. I will go visit petunia in March.
-
tTikitu I think confronting that we have harmed people often doesn't feel good. I don't think it should.
-
I don't want to understand how US police officers can murder children with impunity.
-
tTikitu yep but good realization :)
-
mrb_bk I just read the year of yes!! Very little about computers. Totally loved it. (I realize you weren't asking for recs sorry)

Super emotionally wrung out by today omg 👀
-
My sister and husband claim they are not weird cat people because they don't put pictures of the cat on the Internet. They totally are tho.
-
E.g the time they bought the cat an iron bowl in France and had to get it transported back to the uk.
-
After all this it turns out the cat had a magnetic collar. Went to eat out of the bowl, got stuck to it.
-
wirehead thanks that's interesting

-
EricaJoy yay!
-
Yay I am going to Paris tomorrow I had some idea that being lonely in my second language will prepare me for being lonely in my third.
-
KuraFire how did they go?
-
chiuki I think I get in as you are boarding!!
-
bmf yeah I have. I would say it went okay. I don't feel like it was enough. (It was something I witnessed rather than did, was so shocked…
-
bmf …I didn't really know what to do, generally thought the perpetrator would realize how wrong they were. Instead they doubled down)
-
@KacheFlowe bmf I am more interested in specific instances than general broad apologies but take your point.
-
chiuki 💜💜💜
-
bmf well I feel like I invited it in by being dense. So I apologized for that, not the other persons behaviour.
-
Today's conversation w/ travel agent. Me: "but I am in a committed relationship with air canada" Him: "well you need to get out of it then"

Some confusion also arose from me flying to Medellin and leaving again 6 days later.

Final results are in. 57% yes, went well (this makes me happy). 22% no reason to (this makes me despondent). catehstn/681480073116020736
-
This makes me so happy! juliaferraioli/681582568869740544
-
One way to look at it is that if Twitter thought their homogeneity problem was insurmountable they would have hired a woman.
-
This is a joke about the glass cliff. Do we laugh do we cry.
-
EricaJoy I am glad you got something even though no way it is enough!! Also I admire everyone who took that on.
-
EricaJoy yeah I find it really jarring that they are like "everything is awesome" when people have been so harmed emotionally+financially
-
r343l 😉
-
KuraFire yeah I have super appreciated the few occasions where that has happened to me.
-
wayspurrchen because I want to know if it is worth doing.
-
KuraFire yes! tbh being willing to apologise is for me a metric of someone knowing how they were complicit / wrong.
-
caitie :/ did you hear anything about the process for finding someone / what they were looking for?
-
KuraFire yep. agree.
-
indec yeah I feel like there is scope for an in-depth survey here, way beyond a twitter poll ;)
-
indec and I agree with working to change being important. But I don't think there's enough acknowledgement of failure.
-
indec yeah i clarified yesterday (but i think it got lost in the thread) that i meant apologies where you still have a relationship.
-
indec if someone has shown they don't want to speak to you any apology seems self indulgent.
-
indec blogpost coming tomorrow... if i'm brave enough to post it lol
-
peterseibel that is an interesting question. I feel like if people are aware there is something. But I think some people answered that...
-
peterseibel ...when they meant "no benefit to" ie it would involve reaching out to someone they have lost touch with.
-
peterseibel which is fair. My survey was not well designed :)
-
peterseibel tbh my despondency about that number is in part influenced by some of the long form responses I got.
-

I am pretty sure after last time I swore I would never give an ignite talk but here I am with an abstract for one. Now what.
-
Not that my last one was a disaster I just felt it was a format that having done once and had no need to do ever again.
-
You cannot judge for yourself because there are no videos of me on the internet. None.
-
rossgrady yeah I mean I feel like it's an interesting format but not one conducive to imparting meaningful information
-
rossgrady yeah I used to think these talks were great or terrible and I think actually maybe it's terrible or superficial.

RT EricaJoy: A few people have asked for my thoughts about the new VP of Diversity and Inclusion at Twitter. I wrote some: https://t.co/7V…
-
This piece by EricaJoy is on point and you should read it. Totally agree that inclusion needs to be the job of the CEO.
-
One of the things that I like about moving into management is inclusion is now part of my job and not thankless second shift work.
-
It really helps that my boss is aligned with those values and that it's part of his job, too.
-
bertjwregeer haha maybe try outside? I have been in grey places lately and as a result not many pics that work well.
-
bertjwregeer hahaha :)

Managed to choose flights and cancel two gym memberships today so I am making progress on leaving, which is something.

BillGlover I have been getting an error inside it so I think it might be that. Two plugins using the same short code.
-
I don't weigh myself or really focus on anything other than fitness / strength but I look thinner lately.
-
Tbh was hard for me to feel positive about this because it seemed like mainly result of harassment with a bit of help from food allergies.
-
But been going on for long enough that now it seems separate. I haven't really changed anything, although things I always did became easier.
-
And I have concluded that maybe >1 year after I escaped my gilded cage, the stress of existing in that environment has finally left me.
-
Turns out: being happier, not just good for mental health. When I left, I thought this might happen. But was shocked by how long it took.
-
And if it was kicked off by harassment well… whatever. That clusterfuck actually strengthened a bunch of important relationships too.
-
And also reminded me what's important and why I push for things I do.
-
Wouldn't wish that experience on anyone, and it was mild in the scheme of things. But ~2 months later: I am doing more awesome, not less.
-
What do they say? The best revenge is a life well lived? I am not down with the concept of revenge, but living your most awesome life: yes.

If 2014 was a year of being despondent about men, 2015 has been a year where I felt despondent about women's behaviour to other women.
-
Particularly white women to women of color.
-
I don't publicly criticize other women, no plans to change that although was a challenge this year. But: I see it, avoid perpetrators.
-
Women are best and worst to each other. But the best is SO GREAT. Gonna keep practising Shine Theory with all my fabulous women friends.

Thanks to all the amazing women who inspire me and push be to be better. I love y'all. Let's hang out more in 2016.
