Bae’s most annoying characteristic is that he can eat a large streak and drink coke at 10pm and then still sleep immediately and well seconds after getting into bed. Infuriating.

I want to believe this is true but it’s unclear that the demographics of fully distributed companies (incl those I have worked for) actually support it. This belief without the work to create an inclusive environment (and advancement) is just a harmful assumption. adampnathan/1417481712888582146

Earlier today as bae and I were driving in circles in the depths of the countryside… We finally realized the maps app was set to “avoid highways”. It had been this way since December 🤦🏻♀️
-
I am not going to reveal how much time we spent driving down a track - not a road, a track - on our way to Kildare (close to Dublin) but at least with bae all such things are romantic adventures.
-
Also nothing will ever top our first mini break to “not Dingle” and the moment we discovered the truth - after arriving and checking in - and I had to cancel our dinner reservation. All mistakes are relative.
