We sure aren't in a (generally speaking) culture that makes this easy; we aren't in an economy that acknowledges it; we aren't in careers that reward it; but what we need is mind-expanding empathy across knowledge work that lets us care about intention enough to help people do their thing
None of us can know what we don't know. I have a lot of known unknowns wrt software: I know I'm not a web developer or database engineer, but I know I'm damn good at statistical thinking. The challenges of this age aren't about replacing expertise but learning to share it
Today has been the worst earache of my adult life. Sharing because its not something I hear a lot of adults talk about. I thought a few years ago I knew what that was but today is definitely worse.
Textile and fiber arts friends, a new book about May Morris and her circle that sounds amazing!

The next week is going to be so much zucchini. 😅😅😅 just giving advanced notice as I grated 10 cups of zucchini and there are still 4 more zucchini to go. 😅😅😅
I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one. It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.
The Origins of the Word "Moron" Are Actually REALLY Sinister
It's much more than just a casual insult.

I feel very scammed by the cowgirl cookies today that had both sultanas and raisins. 😭😅
😭😭😭 I had to share because my heart .. but frankie saw the children's illustrated guide to kubernetes on my bookshelf and yall he asked if he could read it and he just asked me if he could keep it 💕💕
@rokhanna.bsky.social Hi. Algorithmic generation of harmful imagery is not free speech its a defective product feature. As a constituent in Santa Clara, I am deeply concerned about your use of the X platform.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.
💫managed to watch most of a movie with frankie which means we are almost out of the woods! (First of the hobbit movies) he also ate a real meal!
And its pneumonia. 😭🫠at least he has little energy today.i feel utterly drained and I look forward to a good night sleep.
🙃🫠😭so first I learned the dangers of sugarfree cough drops on unsuspecting kids who monster their way through a pack. Now with sick kid who has learned the wrong thing from this adventure and refuses to take any cough meds 😭
Learning culture moderates how software organizations adopt tools and the implicit rules we're giving developers want what they can do, experiment with, push back on, and share. And software has spent years dismissing it in favor of sloppy ad hoc velocity benchmarks
Does anyone know the secret of why band-aids are so much more effective than generics at sticking appropriately? Also why aren't there giant hydrocolloid bandages? I can totally recommend the skin-flex motionmax band-aid for large knee abrasions 🙃bonus points for the adhesive not irritating me
Today i learned about dermoplast individually wrapped wound wipes and these are now going to be added to my always carry around. As a clumsy person prone to falling there isn't always a handy place to rinse out scrapes and they are pretty soothing.
Wizard Zines is doing another Big Zine Sale again this year on Friday, November 28th! One day only. here’s a google calendar link for the duration of the sale if you want a reminder: wzrd.page/cal
😭😭😭 this hit hard because there are little and big hormonal changes happening and for kids? Little hormonal changes can feel big. And the challenge of navigating this while also handling my own issues with perimenopause and wanting to be a 'good mom'? Yeah.
19thnews@19thnews.org · 9mo agoIf you and your kids are both going through big hormonal changes, here's how to navigate them.
Currently waiting for a doc visit to start and hearing folks getting followups that aren't available to April 2026. This feels less than optimal..
Libraries are such a great place to give your kid opportunity to talk to an adult and ask for help.
We went up to SF for the Pokémon Go live event and it was amazing to see all the communities coming together (even from Sacramento!)
My Lab at the University of Edinburgh🇬🇧 has funded PhD positions for this cycle! We study the computational principles of how people learn, reason, and communicate. It's a new lab, and you will be playing a big role in shaping its culture and foundations. Spread the words!
