  19. Spent the evening editing photos of my house because I am determined to put up a blog post about the renovation before the next one results in a hole in the ceiling and the removal of my favourite light fixture.

    Sneak preview of this evening’s work! Gotta say, the WordPressiOS media experience has come a long way since i sat with an engineer on the team and made him watch me upload a photo on one phone and wait for the moment that my stress rock triggered an alert on my other phone 😆

  77. …in reply to @catehstn
    Anyway many things about 2020 have been shit but personally it had been a good year. If 2019 was the year I learned how to be happy, 2020 has been the year where I applied that knowledge consistently and it has worked even modulo the world burning. Go me.

  92. Some white dudes in tech really have been told “you’re smart you can do anything” too many times. They think it applies to DEI despite never having _done_ anything other than perpetuate systematic inequity.
  93. …in reply to @petermilley
    petermilley I mean in programming they might at least read the odd blogpost, get a code review etc. In DEI it’s really like “I learned there is inequity but don’t worry I’m here to fix it now.”
  94. …in reply to @catehstn
    petermilley I was thinking a lot about how when I was at google Jeff Dean was a this legendary figure who had memes created about him. And here we are today when he’s tweeting allyshit and failing spectacularly and publicly at what should have been a basic test of decency in leadership.
  95. …in reply to @catehstn
    petermilley Where’s all that rigour you brought to programming my dude?!
  96. …in reply to @petermilley
    petermilley I mean the refusal to be corrected is one thing? But the decision to be an expert when lacking actual baseline knowledge is the most wild to me. It’s like trying to code without knowledge of any data structures.
  97. Always a relief that a dude is around to correct me. Thank you for your quick response to a woman who has no interest in your opinions or really anything about you having an opinion that doesn’t completely match your world view!

    It is particularly apt that in timnitGebru’s email she said that external pressure was the only way to accountability. So true; I am happy to see this external pressure show up for her in the way she has shown up for so many others - so apparent from the support of her team.

    THISISDINOSAUR I’ve actually spent a lot of pagan festivals alone because I don’t celebrate it, but what has worked for me is just treating it as a day to be by myself, and plan for that. Have food in, fun things to do, don’t really talk to anyone, treat it as a day off from being in the world.
