Hope it goes well!!

Baby manager me also used to call myself an umbrella, but these days I say sieve + funnel. Not all information is equally important, so 1) filter out the stuff your ppl need to know (sieve), and then 2) share it at the right rate/flow so they can apply it effectively (funnel).

I was going through some local microfilm at the library for something unrelated and came across these articles about Reagan from 1984-85. Like, no, we're not going to rewrite him to be more palatable.

There's AC PocketCamp on mobile now, which has also been a delight.

For the night. Right.

Working plumbing.

I think AI has become a catch-all term for all sorts of technology that has existed for quite some time. It's just being all rebranded under the AI badge because it's trendy.

Thank you. And sorry for word vomiting on your thread. Basically the message here is yes, 100000 times yes, to your post.

Ugh, I've lived through this far too many times in tech, and I'm so tired of it.

Meanwhile, never doing the work to examine how the systems in place are failing or straight up disadvantageous to people who don't share the majority experience.

Obvious to you is not the same as obvious, especially to someone who is in the minority and doesn't share context with you.

It's all a farce. Hire the person, let them fail, rinse, repeat. Publish workplace equity reports that make your demographic stats look marginally good while simultaneously pointing out that DEI doesn't work, because if it worked, then these people wouldn't struggle so hard to be successful.

Not me resisting the impulse to just be like, "Oooh, maybe I should offer to take it off her hands." 🙈🙈🙈🙈 (Don't indulge me, please lol)

I replaced some joycon components a while back. YouTube tutorials helped immensely, and it wasn't that hard, but YES, opening the damn thing was the most infuriating part. 😤

The video I made was way too long for Bluesky, so here’s the YouTube:

The things you've been capturing on camera are incredible!

Bonus points of I can support independent bookstores in the process.

Now more than ever, I'm leaning into local impact.

No, you're pretty spot-on. I also gave up on corporate and legacy outlets.
