EXACTLY! The person who recommended it to me said that he had the book and the audiobook, and that the Rocky experience made a huge difference.

Same! I am about to finish the audiobook. I chose audio because someone told me that it was very well produced, and it didn't disappoint. Can't wait for the film 🙌🏽

I understand that, by being geographically so far removed, your perception of current affairs is based on abstractions, black & white takes, and limited education & media you have access to.
Half of the population of GCC countries are expats of dozens of countries that have nothing to do with this.

Most of these are what they call "n*rco-blockages"; basically they take cars, trucks, buses, and burn them to block the roads.

When things like these happen,
- people who learnt n*rco culture from TV series are like "yayy!"
- Mexicans are like "uh oh 🙈"

Send good vibes to my country ✨🤍

Respectful Open Source Maintainer attention as a finite resource.

"the empathy of not adding to the pile ... is invisible in open source sustainability discussions, and I suspect the contributions people deliberately don’t make out of respect for maintainer capacity might matter just as much as the ones they do" @andrewnez.bsky.social

Procrastination level: Google Maps says it’s a 2-minute walk to the donut I’ve been craving all day. My brain: "hmm, no, why don't we rewatch Gilbert Strang's linear algebra lectures on YouTube for the nth time instead ?" 😂

I love this.

hahaha, please don't stop following me 🥺
Signal.

😂 I actually considered directly asking those people to please unfollow me

I am convinced that this phrase by Gisele Pelicot changed my brain chemistry, not only in the context of what she went through, but in life in general. It's simple yet powerful ❤️‍🔥

Just realised that there's no way to remove unwanted followers here 😂
(Blocking/unblocking does not work, boo 👎🏽)

lol, earlier today B asked me if I wanted coffee (made with his sweet little hands) and I told him "you know what? let's go buy one". It took us longer to get ready and put all the warm clothes on that the time it took to walk to the coffee shop, but it was worth it haha

Buffalo; veggie nuggets tho

I went back to school last year and my sweet dad bought me this T-shirt to celebrate 🥺💖

Start small. Do what you CAN.
Everybody wants to change the world, but gets paralyzed in the face of everyday acts of common injustice.
Your small action can represent a big change in someone else's life. We did not reach this point overnight.
Start small. Do what you can 🤍

We were planning to go see the Northern Lights at some point this winter, but life happened (mostly good things...) and we had to change our plans, but tonight we didn't have to travel to see them; they came to us ✨🥹

B: would you volunteer to go to Mars (and never come back)?
Me: years ago, I would have said yes, but not anymore.
B: oh, why did you change your mind?
Me: have you seen the type of people who want to go to Mars? Being stuck with them in another planet? Absolutely not 🙅🏽‍♀️

They say AI is the end for developers.
They say the job market is gone.
They say learning to code is pointless.

I don’t buy it.

I think we're just getting started.

pull down menu in doctor's office asks users to choose among male, female, Venezuela

ah, yes, the three genders

When you’re doom posting about how everything is inevitable and no one can stop them, you’re doing their work for them. Stop that

This narrative also completely ignores the fact that having your own children is only one of the multiple ways in which humans can take care of each other.
Aging parents, a partner or a sibling with a serious illness, helping raise other people's children, etc. Tasks usually assigned to women :)

Even if all those things were true, it makes it sound like women who chose not to become mothers somehow cheated on life, instead of, you know, making a choice.
According to her and other young moms, it doesn't stop there: "you ONLY have one child and complain? cute, try having 2 (or 3, or n...)"

my sister (who has a kid) and I often joke about the way society diminishes women's accomplishments when they opt out of motherhood.
- got a promotion? "she has extra time for work!"
- have a stable relationship? "hehe... wait 'till you have kids"
- exhausted? "hah! try saying that to a mother"

1. Woman requests org to delete awful picture of her.
2. Org uses said picture for promotional material.
Great stuff.

The price I pay for being a little shit complaining about things here & there 😂

the only consistent warriors are OSS enthusiasts though. It can be Dec. 23 or the most beautiful day of Summer, and they will absolutely ping you if a package is broken or something like that. In some way, it makes me feel appreciated lol ❤️
