*looks at and ignores everything* I've decided my biggest problem right now is I can't find a journal with 360+ pages and 8mm wide spaced lines. Everything is ~7mm, but that 1 makes a difference. Nowhere to be found! So if you know of some, please send em my way. Thank you and good morning.

Question for the senior+ engs. How do you give agency and access to your teammates who are asked to lead projects but are not in rooms where decisions are being made bc you live in a top down org? If you're not doing it, what's the most effective way to make you/leads aware of this gap?

It’s day 86 of the ICE occupation of MN. Rent is due on Sunday for thousands of our neighbors who’ve been unable to work for two months. It feels like everyone in the twin cities metro is fundraising for rent for immigrant neighbors, because the need is so high.

I know there are a lot of mutual aid asks coming out of Minneapolis right now, but both of my kids graduated from South High and it would mean a lot to me for people to contribute to this rent fund for my fellow South families. I’ll match the first $1000 if you post receipts. Tiger Pride 🧡🖤

I need you all to understand something for those of you who think you know what this black woman who has lived in racist America really thinks. I know this is hard for you all, but some of us saw this coming for years, decades even. So understand, I am not being snarky. I am grieving.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Hugs to the people who've been watching Phee since college. She's had such an unlucky trajectory. From those heartbreaking FF losses, the injuries, the being less appreciated even at UConn, to the draft. Been rooting for the wild cats almost 2 decades, they'll be OK. But that injury 💔 Hugs, Phee

I don't know how the tech work culture got that way. The things that are rewarded the most are refactoring to the newest thing the fastest. Being communal and understanding how changing things affect others and trying to account for that somehow gets you point deductions.

Call it glue work if you want. But I’ve held more things together with care, clarity, and a spreadsheet than most leaders ever will with a roadmap.
