Sorry to shit things up on the Good Website, but I finished a new blog post.

It's not a happy one.

One hard part of living in MN is that the summers are absolutely-fucking-gorgeous enough to just barely outweigh the other eight months of soul-crushing shit 😵‍💫

A reminder! This Sunday!

I'll be bringing pizza at noon as well as some beverages and a cooler.

We are creating a safer space for trans youth and their families to attend this space so that young people can that there is a place for them in their futures in this community.

Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)! If you're a people manager in tech, please commit to take some concrete action to recruit, hire, promote, reward and retain folks with disabilities and work to make processes like interviewing more bias aware and accessible. 🤍🙏
Thinking about the time this white senior engineer fought me tooth and nail when I hired a Black immigrant engineer who used assistive tech due to physical disabilities. He said the engineer didn't do well on the code test; I said the code test and process wasn't accessible, and we re-wrote it. 1/4

Definitely a nice night for my new smokeless pellet firepit. This pic didn’t even have the secondary combustion effect going yet. Really good deal on Amazon, despite my ambivalence towards them.
