Sometimes when it feels like there is nothing redeeming in the world or the news feels overwhelming, I make it a point to email coworkers or people in other departments to let them know how much I value them. Trying to spread a little positivity helps it not seem so crushing.

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

The article frames Skrmetti as a poor strategic gamble by activists. In reality, Tennessee passed a categorical ban applicable solely to transgender adolescents which was framed in sex-based terms. The choices were (a) challenge it or (b) concede defeat in advance and abandon trans teens nationwide.

#Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom—and a reminder that justice delayed is still justice denied. We honor the resilience of those who waited years to learn of liberation. And we recommit to fighting for the freedoms still being denied today.

tried to call @padilla.senate.gov about the budget reconciliation bill but his answering machine was not configured to take messages. Sigh. Your constituents work during the day so it would be helpful if you could at least take messages after hours.

it's honestly incredible how hungry media outlets are for trans stories by trans writers right now, while simultaenously refusing to actually employ any trans people. maginalized peoples' pain is great content as long as we keep them in their place without changing material conditions

The other common knowledge is that (anywhere close to human-level) AI doesn’t exist, yet tech companies try to pretend it does every 15 years or so

No Kings marches: * Over 2,000 marches * One day (so far) * ~11 million participants 👍🏿 Black Lives Matter marches: * Over 7,700 marches * Multiple days * ~26 million participants 👍🏿 Whoever told you 3.5% of the people protesting is some magic number for social change, lied to you.

I love going “lol null pointers” as much as the next person, but the systemic factors here are more important. Sure: No feature flags, normalized deviance, unintended data shape … but the biggest issues seem to be cultural: Centralized SPOF designs don’t work if you systematically fire the experts

"defund the police" was so obviously correct. I really don't care if it doesn't poll well. it's like telling me that I should stop saying I like vaccines if they stopped polling well.

I can't tell you how invigorating and inspiring and hopeful it is to be in a crowd of people who also care. Took a group of teens to the last big protest and they were most struck by no longer feeling alone. If you're able to go, I encourage you to try. Get a group of friends & go together.

Google is raising my Google Workspace pricing claiming all the “AI value” added. I turned off Gemini in Gmail and Docs because it just doesn’t work / do anything useful for me. So why am I being charged more? Having costs b/c of AI is not the same as generating value with AI…

The "pipeline problem" is a myth. Women in tech exist. Black developers exist. Latinx designers exist. They just don't have access to your network. I've watched amazing talent get overlooked because of limited connections. So I built the bridge.
