I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

So how are folks navigating building community currently? It feels like the inoculation for hate is community. Fear and hate aren't fuel. And it feels like we need to keep our tanks full to navigate the slog ahead.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Sometimes I think I should talk less or filter my thoughts more. But then I remember all being quiet got me was ignored and unsupported. So loud mouth it is. 🗣️ Hear me!

Happy Saturday Hoopa Raid day #pokemongo frankie finished his 50 excellent throws and got a master ball. (Hoopas have a bigger target circle so makes it easier)

I had a magical moment today where I needed to take a breather and I looked over and got this amazing surprise. Rainbows are a promise. A touch of beauty. A reminder to take a look around and observe. And connection. There was a group of us that shared the unabashed glee together.

It's a lot. Every day, new onslaughts in so many different spheres. It's hard to keep up, let alone act. Simply being a patriotic American today feels like being an epidemiologist in the early days of the pandemic. Do what you can—then be gentle with yourself. Take time. You need your strength.

Oh shit. I thought this was just symbolic. ITS SUPPOSED TO RAIN AND IN SOME AREAS LOTS OF SNOW THIS WEEKEND. Keep the water stored. 🙃

The gift that keeps on giving. Have had influenza b, then strep, now influenza a. Having strong words with Brian about strategies we can take because influenza a is pretty terrible. B was miserable. Strep was miserable. A has been a kick and I've had to spend a lot of time laying down.

Made chillequeno at work and tried making my own roasted tomatillo salsa Verde at home but mine had too much spinach I think and ended up being super green. Also used plant egg at home and didn't make the pickled red onion. Brian gave it his seal of approval which feels like winning.

Also whether your energy investment even in the case of losing is valuable to you. Total resource calculation (because your energy and time is limited). And sometimes the battle is so crucial that not trying is going to leave you feeling all the regrets.

💯incremental daily delights is a gift of self care.

😂😂😂devrel defined as 'hopelessly torn between 2 perspectives' and it's not wrong! (Its why systems thinking is a critical skill! plug for @ruthmalan.bsky.social systems thinking classes )

I share this intuition but would love to see evidence. Is anyone working on this from a CS education standpoint?
