fun news! I was laid off from Twilio.

going to take this weekend to chill out, and will start looking for roles next week.

if you or someone you know is looking for staff/principal level Developer Advocacy, OSPO, dev infra, or similar roles pass them along!

reposts from tech folks appreciated <3

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Hellmans packets before!

But there are only two other people at my gym, so these Venn diagrams check out.

A Duolingo ad featuring a character saying “so there’s literally nothing to worry about” while holding a fire hose in front of a house engulfed in flames while like 30,000 acres of Southern California have burned.

Duo, I’m just trying to do my little lesson to take my mind off all of my family down in Southern California. 😩

This is the road to hot pot

I fucking love speaking ill of the dead. Keep the memes flowing.

Tell me more about this store.

Tortilla chip crust

Biggest oof of a movie I’ve watched so far this year.

A post with a photo of a moth followed by a completely unrelated post by someone else that says “these next four moths are going to be fucking unbearable” but it was a typo for “months”

I don’t know how this happened but I was terrified I was about to see too many moths.

(I can’t stand moths.)

The worst part about that kind of take is that it suggests only unskilled or untalented people are capable of inflicting harm.

I think about my jaw crashing into the toilet every time I get out of the shower. Probably totally normal thoughts, right?

On first read, I thought you meant their informant was a dog or cat or something, and I would probably watch that.

I can’t wait for peaches.

I miss Waffle!

Oscar Mayer should be the ones regretting not making these hot dog flavored. Cowards.

What a meaningless argument. I have gray hair yet am still pretty foolish.

The highlight of my day is probably going to be that my phone autocorrected Cortini to crostini.

Wait I thought RIP was like “ded 💀” but I still use 😆 so I’m likely way wrong.

I was so hoping for the Kissinger-esque revelry again.

If you find it, let me know.

Yessss!

#ICriedInAMeetingWithMyManagerToday 🙃

This has reminded me of the days when run-on snarky hashtags were a thing and I miss it because that is totally my kind of corny ass sense of humor.

“I can’t remember the last time I did real cursive” in blue pen on graph paper

My normal writing is half-cursive half-chicken scratch which made this really difficult to wrap my head around.

I often forget this thing exists, which is probably for the best.

I’m screwed. They’re just going to accidentally kill me by making questionable decisions.
