Community is going out dancing, meeting friends of friends on the dancefloor and talking about the trauma most recently digested in therapy yelling over the music.

I only showed up to tell you that everyone at this is a vampire. This ain't red wine.
Maybe one day I will travel to Helsinki and actually leave the airport.
The worst part about traveling for conference season is being out of town for the cool gay shit in my city.

You ever have one of those days where you have zero idea how you were able to pull it off? Yea, cheers to me yall.
Watching Ally McBeal and she is by far one of the most unlikeable protagonists ever. Her and Meredith Grey (Grey's Anatomy) are neck and neck.
Going through a identity rough patch. I created a photo album called "who are you?" and adding every photo I can that reminds me of who I am. Dis is good.
I believe in the compliment boomerang. Kind words should always go out into the world and ultimately reach its subject for balance in the universe.
I started reading Star Trek books to my wife and I'm obsessed with this unlocked level in our relationship. Feels like a cheat code.

If I had to name this chapter of my career it would be: "Middle Mgmt / Slightly Sr Leader as a WoC: If you dont let them think its their idea they wont do it 😭"
I feel like every step of my career is me knocking on doors asking why its locked -- and more recently getting shushed from inside.
Im in this pressure creates diamonds type of space. Friction, leads to erosion, creates deep paths of knowledge.
Finally saw Project Hail Mary. Yall made it sound more light hearted. I was an anxious mess. I acknowledge I do have a low anxiety tolerance. I can't watch horror movies. Too much suspense tears my tummy up.
Happy May Day everyone! Its International Worker's day. If you cant celebrate buy loudly disrupting the capitalist hegemony, it is your god-given right to shit on company time. You deserve ❤️
Im literally obsessed with telling people that I have to check in with my wife first. Its like euphoric. Because fr fr, what if she planned something? I gotta ask!
There is exactly one movie of Anne Hathaway's I like despite seeing two. And yes, it's Princess Diaries.

I want to change my style and mid 30s weight stopped fluctuating. But I can't look at pictures of myself for enough consecutive seconds to figure out what I'd prefer; and *obviously* I would never ask someone their opinion because the idea of being observed and perscribed is infuriating
Between my student loans, home owners insurance, energy bill and groceries, monthly expenses are *easily* 700-900 USD more expensive than last year.

Every time i go out to eat in DT Austin, I'm just waiting to get racism'd. You think theyll turn me away trying to sit down solo 30 min before closing?
Id like to remember the names of all the execs positing that human labor will become obsolete so we can subject them to a tribunal to tech workers.
I'll see you in the hotel lobbies (likely mostly The Westin for me) for card games, board games, and conversation. All are welcome. You'll spot us because by our badges, Python shirts, or general welcoming (hopefully?!) vibe.
