Hi, it’s me, an author and librarian-in-progress, here to tell you, yes, YOU, that every form of reading is valid. Ebooks, audiobooks, physical books, graphic novels, romance, old pulp books, the back of the cereal box, whatever. If it gets narrative to your brain, that’s good.

Salma has quite eloquently described a lot feelings I've had in regards to WIT initiatives I didn't have words for. I worked so hard with my university's WIT Society, and have felt increasingly lost the more those spaces no longer feel... right for me.

Why Women in Tech isn't enough
Women in Tech spaces help, but fall short in the long run. Real progress needs systemic change and active involvement from men in positions of power.

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second:
one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable
that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger
