Truly Madly Deeply is one of my all time favorite movies

How cool is that! I was also a huge fan. He helped so many young actors too.

Gáspár Nagy and I had a short, fun conversation with @lisacrispin.bsky.social and @janetgregoryca.bsky.social of The Testing Fellowship.

And they recorded it :)

Wow! Congrats on number 400! More awesome than ever. 💜

We can trace the current Republican law-breaking to Nixon.

When we didn’t put Nixon in jail, it sent the message that lawbreaking is accepted as long as a Republican is president.

The Republicans involved in Iran-Contra got off scot free. We haven’t even bothered investigating Bush Jr’s torture.

Beth for Democracy | Bethany Andres-Beck for Congress Bethany Andres-Beck is a candidate for Congress running to represent Massachusetts' 6th District.

I don’t care if crime is popular with 32.8% of Americas. They still shouldn’t get to overthrow our society.

I’m not a career politician. I haven’t resigned myself to this injustice. I believe we can still have laws.

My campaign makes the case that society is worth defending: bethfordemocracy.com

America deserves to be ruled by laws.

That will require standing up to the criminal conspiracy that is the modern Republican Party. Including its representatives on the Supreme Court.

But it also means standing up to a Democratic Party that fears enforcing laws might cost them votes & donations.

I donated again to @beth4ma.bsky.social ‘s campaign today. Please help if you can. Speak up while we still can.

We could feed every American for less than what we spend on our military.

It isn’t a question of resources. It is a question of priorities.

Stay safe, Austin. Do not be deterred. #NoKings

"Surging" National Guards into Austin, TX during an international sports event (Formula 1 race) is.... what?
Showing the rest of the world how far the USA has turned toward tyranny.
The world supports the right to peaceful demonstration against government policy. Go in peace #NoKings

Aww, I just saw this, thank you! 💜

The best—and most fun to do—interviews are conversations. Keith Klain interviewed me yesterday for his Quality Remarks podcast

I love it! 😂

It's not that we can't afford for human rights and welfare like decent healthcare, it's that we can't get people to pay sufficient tax to do so. We saw exactly this same pattern of increasing populism with increasing inequality long before there was an Internet, in the late 1800s through WWI.

I 💜 seeing software folks use the word "holistic" in a lot of contexts. Delivering quality new stuff to customers frequently, confidently, sustainably takes the whole team working together around the whole SDLC. Our Holistic Testing Model helps craft a good strategy. agiletester.ca/holistic-tes...

Lessons from nature to improve how we work - Holistic Testing with Lisa Crispin A book explaining how to look at nature's edges and boundaries to learn how to identify and grow new relationships and improve organizations

I'm loving the new book _Nature's Blueprint for Business_ by Ines Garcia, shared my thoughts here: lisacrispin.com/2025/10/02/l... Highly recommended!

I'm curious what you think of Saul Williamson's demo in our DORA community meeting yesterday: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Goq... Also, this SPARC framework, which intrigues me a lot: github.com/ruvnet/sparc (I have no hands-on experience with any of this!)

It gets scarier here every day. I join the protests, I'm active with our local Indivisible chapter, I donate to Bernie and our other Vermont reps and to many orgs and candidates that are fighting. So many people are suffering and no doubt it it'll be my turn at some point.

This is not a drill

Pictures of Janet Gregory, Karen Spanier, Lisa Crispin with her donkey, thumbnail to their 12 minute 45 second video chat, "Helping women thrive in career turning points"

Our latest Donkeys & Dragons @agiletfellow.bsky.social video chat is up! Janet Gregory and I had such a mind-blowing (for me) conversation with Karen Spanier about helping women thrive in key career turning points. I'm shocked how many women's careers are derailed by perimenopause! lnkd.in/eK-wjf2b

Steve Fenton, Head of DevRel & Principal DevEx Researcher at Octopus, shares findings from Octopus’ Platform Engineering Pulse research. He explains why making security and operational policies mandatory often drives healthier platform adoption, how GitOps and Argo are shaping deployments, and which Policies, Not Platforms: Practical Lessons for GitOps & DevEx Success

I had a great conversation with Twain Taylor on the Software Plaza podcast. We spoke about the research we've doing at Octopus on #PlatformEngineering and #GitOps and came up with some crucial points that I think folks will find super-helpful.

Aww, what a lovely kitty! One of ours is also a lovely white cat, though she has a malicious side! 😄
