A friend of mine has a date tonight and she promised to send me a photo of her date outfit but she didn't, which means she's really excited and I'm so happy for her :-)

Connected with a high school classmate on social media and suddenly started seeing suggestions of other people from my graduating class. Went to add one as a friend only to see she died of cancer aged just 43.

Too many of my friends are dying young. Fuck cancer.

And fuck the regime.

I am once again asking organizations to proofread their videos’ captions before uploading.

Just saw a TEDTalk excerpt where the speaker said "in thrall to" which was captioned "enthralled to."

The seditious conspiracy statute, 18 U.S.C. Β§ 2384, criminalizes interfering with the government "by force," so it's not obvious how a video posted online would fit.

A friend of mine used to have a theory that the U.S. presidential election was always won by the candidate with the best-looking hair.

Perhaps, similarly, the post of village mayor is always given to the man with the most impressive moustache!

Yeah, I had to do a cleanse by searching for my regular hobbies--folks doing gardening and carpentry and whatnot. I don't need my phone thinking I'm a dirty old man!

Getting the kid back to Sesame Street and Mr Rogers’ Neighborhood after a week with her Boomer grandparents who think the appropriate response to any strong emotion is to suppress it and say "I'm fine"

Public service announcement: Teaching your kid that emotions are bad is some shit-ass parenting.

It gets creepy! I wanted to buy my wife a bra using an Amazon gift card I got, so I had her use my phone to go shopping. Next time I fired up Instagram, I hit the "search" button to check in with a friend, and every single reel under the search box was some young woman doing a titty-shaking dance. 🀒

Hi other tech folks! Does anyone have recommendations for trans-friendly recruiters on the West Coast?

I’m a lead product manager with around a decade of experience. Looking to shift back to a salaried position after consulting the last couple years.

Reposts appreciated, thanks!

If only there had been signs that a group of below average men who espouse misogynist views and are led by an adjudicated rapist would treat their female colleagues poorly.
