They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry. (He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

So exhausting..

Strategy - how to be strategic, and how to be seen as strategic - is one of my ongoing obsessions. Years ago, I read Good Strategy/Bad Strategy, and it's guided my thinking ever since. Good strategy is obvious, and usually it is executed on more than it's talked about. cate.blog/2025/09/23/g...

Think (🤞) I have submitted all the documents to the solicitor for Irish naturalization... Including a spreadsheet of all my travel since 2019 😱

This amazing video makes me think again that someone needs to build a BlueSky and Twitter account that literally just republishes all the cartoons, comedy sketches and radio shows mocking Trump from around the world.

Apparently this is "all my fault" and I should have known that this would be the consequences of my actions when I started medical transition 2 decades ago. Perhaps you can now appreciate why we are upset? (13/13)

Incels: A man must earn more than his woman. This shows dominance and commands respect. A man must be smarter than his women. This is easy, as testicles improve analytical thinking and make your brain good. Empathy is a weakness and a sin. Superman saving a squirrel is woke nonsense.🤡 Normal men:

www.reddit.com/r/transgende... Guess what? The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions. Want to know what really happened and how colleagues stood up for her? Read her own account here.

If your most effective management skill is insisting people work 80 hours a week, you might want to consider learning some new management skills.

I want to better understand incident management and SRE - what's your best book recommendation?

Here's my unpopular opinion: The 996 schedule isn't actually about productive work output, it's about having work take the place of an active social life and family as a person's primary obligations and sources of emotional support.

I think it was @catehstn.bsky.social who said that the fastest way to get rid of a sex pest at work was actually to examine his expense reports, because the moral problems were the same, but the money was easier to prove.

Keep it simple

Reached the point of presentation prep where the artist has created a raccoon image so charming that I finally believe this can be a good talk 😂

The gutter racism at work in the Claudine Gay situation and the craven, wholly unforgivable complicity of the NYT in the stitch up I think will go down as a shining light example of how the liberal US establishment helped pave the way for Trump’s fascism.

Mark Zuckerberg saying “actually no one has friends” is at “the female orgasm doesn’t exist” levels of telling on yourself

This is gross. Do not go to the site. Giving them traffic will have negative effects. I confirmed that the post is real and the site is real. I'm just sharing this as evidence for people who are still trying to convince friends and loved ones that J.K. Rowling is trash.

Offended some people but have learned that clarins is not American so yay do not have to give up their lip oil!

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

I (a cis) don't do any of these things? 🤔 These people's model of "being a woman" is being overworked and oppressed. And instead of challenging that and trying to make their own lives better, they aim to overwork and oppress others.

Y'all keep making excuses for the bitter, racist little voters that are literally destroying the global economy, shredding the constitution, bringing us to the edge of war with Canada, putting 10s of millions of African lives at risk, ending social security, firing veterans, and resegregating.

It's OK if you used to love Harry Potter. There are serious problems with the series, AND there are genuinely meaningful and magical things in it that shaped a lot of us. It's OK to mourn it and not think it always sucked. But not a dime to that woman EVER again. You HAVE to love trans people more.

It's been a year since my book came out! If you've read and liked it, I would so appreciate it if you could leave a review. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CW...

One would really think the UK had enough problems right now without creating more. But no, now they must demonize and persecute the (small %age wise) trans population.

where did I put my executive function

Finished Careless People and all I can say is... Whew!

put whimsical skedaddling into the olympics immediately

2) Trump has had the same impact on economic uncertainty as a global pandemic.

the loneliness “epidemic” in a nutshell. men don’t want partners with autonomy, they want fuckable npc trophy maids.

Isn't that the goal?

PEAK BLOOM is here at the Tidal Basin in DC 🌸🌸🌸. And, at sunrise today, just hours before it was declared by the National Park Service - the blossoms were backlit by a gorgeous peach-colored sky. Check out these amazing photos from Kevin Ambrose, María Yliquín and Kari Jaksa.

My friend Sarah was on the radio talking about de-extinction and bringing back the dodo! Very weird and interesting, starts at ~46m and lasts about 15-20 mins www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I never want to hear about DEI and lower skills again. The white people who hate diversity are failing upward on main and risking everything to do it.

A friend pointed out that the quasi-religious way so many tech guys talk about AI is in part because they don't want to grapple with the guilt of what they do; AI is a God, AI will fix it. No need to be responsible for what you put in the world. I can't stop thinking about that.

“If not you, then who? If not now, when?" One person can make a difference

1/ A thread on how to take down Elon Musk and Tesla. Yes, the protests are terrific and highly useful in creating public awareness & dissuading would-be buyers. I salute the magnificent people organizing them & attending them. But let's discuss another line of attack that can be VERY POTENT.

36% you say? Blackstradamus remains undefeated 🔮🧙🏿‍♂️

I had not heard of this book but now I am going to read it tonight.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

President Trump's tariffs have not only triggered trade wars, they're also leading to a "Boycott USA" global consumer backlash against U.S. goods.

Can’t believe Twitter keeps crashing despite Elon hiring the best 19-year-old interns that racism has to offer

I do love it when whole populations come together to launch a passive/ aggressive campaign that keeps the issue alive. #elbowsomething

My assigned sex at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for. So when I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender, I was going against the product that was sold.

American exceptionalism is the bill of goods they sold you so that you wouldn't realize that other countries give workers rights, reasonable minimum wages, and health care that isn't job dependent.

a postcard from Ireland! thanks @catehstn.bsky.social !! (tech manager types, buy Cate’s book: cate.blog/book)

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

I do appreciate how creative humans are and how they can make songs about the fall of democracy that really slap

I don't believe this dreadful man has any Canadian friends.
