Got asked if I was definitely over 19 entering the lounge today so I guess even if I am dead inside it's not showing on my face and the vast amount of money that goes on skincare is apparently well spent.

Transiting through YOW means remembering it is not a proper airport.

💔 but also ❤️ - thank you for sharing this, @webwright

Your regular reminder that for ~25% of women debates about sexual assault aren’t theoretical. It is something that has happened to us.

Americans: by bins I mean “trash cans”. I spent 400 euro on two matching rose gold stainless steal trash cans. I can only conclude I have lost my mind.
-
😭 these are trash cans. In rose gold. Two matching ones, one upstairs one downstairs. WHAT AM I DOING.

There’s a saying in North Korea that goes “take your sadness and turn it into power” and whilst NK is profoundly messed up that saying is something I think about often. I like to think there is a healthy and non-warlike interpretation.

My manager explained optimism to me today and I was like “that sounds like an act of resistance against the patriarchy” 💪✌️

Can’t. Imagine. What. Madness. Is. This.

It me making a strong first impression.

I think there is a lesson here for all of us on the wisdom of buying tea whilst high on Xanax.

Last week after my trip to the 🏥 I bought LEGO Incredibles and last night I completed it so take that gremlins I did achieve something this week.

He said he probably wasn’t going to do that and prescribed me some anxiety meds.

After extensive research I can inform you that this is the most beautiful raccoon on the internet: https://instagram.com/p/BpHNPAYnLYg/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=lw9bm3ko3b10…

Something something people who use the language of inclusion to perpetuate oppression.

My phone: “your screen time was down 17%” Me: “clearly you don’t communicate with the Switch”
-
Doctor: “we need to address the root cause of your anxiety” Me: “are you going to dismantle the patriarchy?”

How big a gap is there between assuming everyone speaks English and assuming everyone critically reads news and knows what snopes is? How big a gap between assuming English fluency and assuming someone can navigate obscure security settings?

Weird to see this on day I went to therapy for the first time in years. She said I processed/discussed things in a very matter of fact way & seemed disconnected from my emotions. I thought “I guess we’ll get to the time I spent in environments when I wasn’t allowed to have any”.
-
Thanks for sharing that!!
-
Okay after a bit of investigation pretty confident this is the @toniandguyworld

2018 has been a difficult and eventful year for me on many dimensions... the perspective of time and place and change helps 💜
-
"it's down to us managers to appreciate you more when you do do something good" well a stopped clock is right twice a day.
-
"try and change your tone of voice" I have to find out the name of this salon, it's somewhere in central Cambridge.
-
I didn’t think we would get into it that much, actually I didn’t think I had that much to say. We ended up having to do a second phone call and getting into it was traumatic, getting the fact checking email was like _woah_. It took me a week to even read it.
-
So much hate for the latest evil by the unspeakable horrors of the current US administration. So much love to all my friends which includes many trans people and afaik no Republicans.
-
I have mentioned pieces but I’ve never talked in depth about the full experience. I finally told @pomeranian99
-
Oh now it's about how THEY feel having to bring this up with her. Also oh my God the dude weighing in. The DUDE!! He's so fucking excited to enforce beauty standards on this girl. His hair looks shite btw. Aside: This girl has great skin and beautiful hair. What on earth.
-
But if some of us don’t tell our stories, those that follow will have the same experience and think they are alone.

“inhuman resources” amirite

It’s a bank holiday weekend in 🇮🇪 this weekend, the Monday of it last year was the day I arrived to live here. Apparently six years ago I was in the Whitsundays in Australia, not long after I moved to Sydney.

Meanwhile, Ireland has just re-elected a president who speaks like this.
-
I walked away from 💸 when I left google, but I’ve never regretted it. What I got back in emotional well being and optimism for my career is worth way more. None - NONE - of the stuff that has come out by individuals, from the Damore memo to this latest expose has surprised me.

Primera charla en español mañana. ¿Porque, pasado-Cate POR QUE?!?
-
Liz, continually grateful for you speaking up, and the kindness and clarity you bring whilst also doing your regular day job 💜💛❤️💙🧡💚
-
Aww 💜

Snark aside, this isn’t a terrible measure but simplistic measures encode deep assumptions that do not work for all users. So much of the way we build software rests on assumptions, & we persist in these metrics even as we begin to acknowledge assumptions aren’t serving us well.
-
Listening to this dude and a woman give another woman an appraisal for her job as a hairdresser, and the focus is on her hair and makeup. They are making it about her confidence, how she will feel better if she does more with her hair and makeup.
-
"you've got really good feedback on a lot of stuff" well that seems specific and actionable and delivered at a completely appropriate time
-
🎢😭☺️💉💉💉

Here's how I'd measure the health of any tech company: How long, as measured from the inception of idea to the modified software arriving in the user's hands, does it take to roll out a *1 word copy change* in your primary product?
-
Is this “happiness”? Is this “relaxed”?! I don’t even know what’s going on but I feel better than I have in weeks. Months, maybe. This year with the exception of drugs for sure. 🤯
-
Finally the truth is out about @aimafidon
-
So yeah, decry the harassers and hold them accountable and call out this toxic organization. Please. But also remember that for everyone who tells their story, this comes at a huge personal cost. Not everyone can bear it, and none of us should have to.
-
Rehearsing talk at the hairdresser: "do you mind if I talk to myself in Spanish?" "I welcome it." The talk is done (I even answered a couple of questions!!) and my hair is temporarily blonde. Also now I am very tired and want to sleep forever.
-
Who does a performance review in a busy restaurant (loudly) and focuses in someone's appearance and their feelings about it?! With a side of patronizing judgement disguised as a pep talk?!
-
Came back early and the house is a building site so I guess there is nothing for it I have checked myself into the spa.
-
Ahh such an obvious typo now I look at it!! So sorry @livlab

Ahhh @mdawaffe

I’ve started to think “domestication” is just a synonym for “consumerism” and in related news I now own a toaster.

I’m sorry I couldn’t make it past the scary house bit.
