I have an education fund at work that starts over on Jan 1. I need to spend all the money or I lose it. It’s like Brewster’s Million over here except it’s only $576 more dollars only on education. Books, courses, conferences all count. I’ve already gotten Scrimba Premium and Great FE. Drop your recs

Wow. The “Double Dutch Bus” song is so relatable if you ever had to rely on public transportation in a car dependent city. But reading about the song made me raise -izzle slang didn’t originate in Long Beach with Snoop Dogg.

Celebrate we will…cause life is short but sweet for certain

This is about me!

I left the #100Devs community almost 3 months ago. I told some ppl and thought it was going to ruin my ability to find a job. But here I am today with a SWE job that not only pays well but aligns with my goals and values. I want to do a tea spill but only with safe ppl. DM or comment if interested.

I've never been this consistent with Anki. I wanna thank my friends @ghiblimagic.bsky.social for the Anki add-ons and @codergirlfriend.bsky.social b/c we complained about Anki but also I think it's b/c I like this Advanced JavaScript course which I wouldn't have access to w/o @devmansam.net.

Why is it so hard to give ourselves the credit we deserve?

I made these eclair crepes for my roommate’s birthday

i just found out that the idea that we have to walk 10k steps a day is based on a marketing strategy from a pedometer company!! when i found this out, i was so angry that i went for a WALK. but i'm not looking to see how many steps i took.

I wish i could rest unapologetically like a cat

I just saw a BUNCH of lightning bugs. I feel like a kid again. ❤️

Please share and give if you can

I taught at a school and the kids judged me so hard for eating peanut butter noodles but I made some for my roommate and they loved it!

We have a neighbor who plays the berimbau and sings in Brazilian Portuguese. I guess I’m living in an artist community now.

I told ChatGPT Sam Altman was his dad and he got really offended like “Sam Altman is NOT my dad!”

I’ve been coding but I haven’t been posting about it because I’ve been feeling vulnerable and exhausted

when i was little, my older brother would sing "hey little mama, why you look so funky?" to me, and i would start crying

Me neither tbh. Still don’t know what it’s about.

IYKYK

if you're not black, you can't say the n-word, even if you're "just 🥺 explaining 🥺 what 🥺someone 🥺 else 🥺 said.”

i'm so happy to be a stay-at-home aunty with my roommate's cat
