Shit, I need a book.

Me: *lists all the things I'm spiraling about* Also Me: Oh, look at that. I'm overstimulated. Huh.

Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

It’s ok for books to say so.

My teenager referred to me (to someone else!) today as "the coolest person." So like, I'm done now. I will just call it there. I have won at life.

Lace, leather, and a touch of existential dread. That is how we embrace our team meeting with gothic darkness. Because why the hell not? #codeweavers #gothintheoffice #gothicoffice #gothvibes

Putting it out into the universe...can anyone get me in touch with Emma Watson??

Well, I liked Fantastic Four slightly better than Superman. Maybe not surprisingly, I am an MCU diehard.

One of the core drivers of "left went too far" and "the left needs to answer for male loneliness" is a bunch of 50+ dudes not understanding why it's no longer cool for them act like they're still in their 20's and blaming civil rights progress for it rather than their refusal to grow up and adapt.

90's double feature w/the teenager: Father of the Bride and Clueless. Yessss.

Reading a book about the proliferation of right-wing groups, etc in the US and honestly, "Proud Boys" just sounds like what you'd say to your puppy. "Awwww, who's a proud boy? Are you a proud boy? Look at Mama's proud boy!" LOL

Also, I can clean & jerk 145 lbs.

Superman was good, not great. Acting was solid, story dragged at many points and was, well, a superhero storyline.

God she is the f**king worst.

LOL @dropout.tv just immediately crashing at 6 Central.

KPop Demon Hunters is delightful as advertised. Loving the trend of movies secretly dealing with emotional and generational trauma.

Lee Pace in Practical Magic 2 LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

No, see, don't cast Charlize as Circe in your bs version of the Odyssey. Make Madeline Miller's Circe and cast her in THAT. Fuck's sake. She is not here to be a random love interest for Matt Damon (worst casting decision ever). Argh.

The Trump regime is rooted in white supremacy. They believe that anyone who is not white is not human. In their erroneous worldview, this belief justifies their cruel actions against any people they deem lesser than. Eventually, that belief will extend to everyone but them. First they came for…

I'm belatedly watching The Crown and damn, Claire Foy deserves every award she won.

The opening credits of Delicious in Dungeon is a banger, yo.

Someone at the gym just told me I looked really lean. Reader, I did not cry.

Captain America: Brave New World. Sam Wilson deserved better.

Saw The Life of Chuck. Really lovely and thoughtful, I thought.

Bluesky is “screen reader accessible” the way a staircase with curb cuts on each step is a “wheelchair ramp.” No keyboard nav. No useful landmarks. No focus memory. I lose my place every time I interact with a post. Compliance ≠ usability. Day 23 asking @support.bsky.team to fix this #A11yFail

#NoKings events in MN are being cancelled/cut short in light of today's events. For all of you out there already, stay safe. For those of you out there around the world, thank you. We are with you.

Just kind of sitting here seething.

I have friends everywhere.

Sailor J should be on Dropout. Dead serious.

Fight the Empire.

"if it isn't a f**k yes, it's a f**k no." - Ify Nwadiwe. Fab. 😍

Bluesky decided to be uncooperative but I'm back for my last session which about accessibility. WeCo is a group of digital technologists who live with disabilities. Really cool to hear from folks who actually use the technology available while working on it. #osn2025

Next talk! Feedback Bites, about effective communication. I always say that QA's primary function is that of a liaison, so yeah. Always looking to communicate better. 👍🏻 #osn2025

Next talk: Building test automation. We don't use it, but it's a gap in my QA knowledge. EMPLOYERS (not mine, you're cool): Teach people shit. Invest in your employees. Don't just ask them to walk in the door knowing everything. #osn2025

"Are Passwords Like Skinny Jeans Now?" Assuming we're gonna talk about UX, etc? I was promised fashion + authentication but we'll see. #osn2025

Checking in today from Open Source North, a local conference about all things open source! Yay, conferencing! #osn2025

Oh thank goodness @opensourcenorth.bsky.social is on. I was worried I wasn't gonna be able to get up to my usual (it's been years) conference shenanigans.

Last audition went well, I think. I feel good about it, anyway, which is kinda the goal.

Did I just click Follow on an Insta account entitled Hot Dudes Reading? Do you even have to ask??

It's been a very long week with not a lot of time to myself but I just caught up on my @dropout.tv shows so I'm feeling so much better now. 🤣

Introduced elder child to Chicago this evening. Shit that's good. It's been a while since I've seen it.

Ohh right I really hate Mothers Day. LOL I forget every year and then wonder why I feel like crap.

I watched Sinners tonight. It is indeed impressive and all that, but also really not a me movie. Please clap. 😳

🤬🤬🤬

Might need Yelena Belova's haircut. Just sayin'.
