GIRLFRIEND APPRECIATION POST.
[She's pretty swell, y'all!]

Thanks for being my lovely, caring open source travel partner! 🥺😘
Megan and I, at the Edera party overlooking the Tower of London. We're back-to-back, holding glasses of bubbly and smiling. Megan and I, on the conference floor, chatting with a really cool little guy who shook our hands and shared his toys. Megan and I, at a friend's wedding in Málaga, dressed impeccably (as usual). Megan and I, canoodling by the beach. We're framed by water and lots of sunshine.

CHOTINER: This game you like to play, what's it called?

ME: Slay the Spire.

CHOTINER: And you play it on the computer?

ME: Yeah. Well, I also have it on my phone. I played another 300 hours.

I'm working on a report on the causes of burnout in open source software. If you're a part of the OSS community, I would love to hear your thoughts, either here on Bluesky, or privately via email (see post). Thanks 😊

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

It's my baby cousin's first year as an elementary school teacher. I am so excited because she is teaching at the same school for Indigenous kids my auntie taught at for like 30 years.

Can y'all help me clear her Amazon wishlist?

The usefulness of an open source project is not an indication of the project's health, stability, or reliability in production!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"stick to menswear"
Alex on twitter writes: "Someone on Twitter writes: "You’re a menswear writer. You don’t know anything about manufacturing in America, or steel mills, or metallurgy, or CNC machining, or how anything is produced from raw material into a finished product in this country or anywhere. Stick to writing about “men’s fashion."" I reply: "i actually had a career in knifemaking before this. the reason why you can't avoid tariffs in knifemaking is because everyone relies on Gobelin machinery. are you aware of this?" Alex replies: "Gobelin machinery? What exactly are you referring to?" I reply: "you Gobelin DEEZ NUTS!"
