Yesterday I resigned my position as Lead Software Engineer at SpaceX. 7 years of the most rewarding work of my life. It was getting close to time for a break for me anyway, but Elon’s behavior bumped it over the edge for me.

I’m a SpaceExer now.

I got an NYT push alert about Taylor Swift getting engaged, but not about the United States spying on Greenland
“Denmark summoned the head of the U.S. Embassy … after allegations emerged that three Americans with close ties to President Trump were running ‘covert influence operations’ in Greenland.”

The DOJ subpoenas to providers of gender affirming care wanted the therapy notes, social security numbers, and addresses of patients. This is an unprecedented and disgusting violation of medical privacy.

Pretty frustrated right now. @realtaraharris.bsky.social is under for her bottom surgery right this minute. Doctor told me NOT to stay at the hospital, so I walked back to our hotel. I get a call and apparently they’ve been frantically trying to reach me for 15mins and calls weren’t going through…
