to my former google friends: omg, they finally made the gShoe from the classic mandatory training "Don't Make The gShoe"

I love that we’re charging basically the price of a human to a passion project nonprofit turned private company. This is the worse timeline.

It is with a lot of simultaneous excitement and trepidation that I'm publicly launching my consultancy. This has been something I've wanted to work towards for some time and I'm really excited to have some amazing mentors and partners over the past year work towards this. intentionallyhuman.xyz

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests.
We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason.

A fake social media simulation where everyone agrees with and likes you is one of the saddest things I’ve heard of in a while.

The sheer disrespect of these people who are expressing their right to speech is oxymoronic, cruel, and offensive to the principles this country was founded on. I’m grateful for those who checked in on me after the incident and made sure I had the help I needed.

As someone who grew up Muslim, I know how scary it is to stand for what you believe in. For a lot of our families, our parents aren’t citizens and often are refugees from awful circumstances. We’ve been spied on, attacked, and abused by exercising our basic rights.
