My youngest grandson (8) asked me why I didn't like rich people. Told him I don't care if there are rich people so long as everyone else has enough to survive & live somewhat comfortably. Told him we teach kids to share, & scold them if they don't & that I'd like adults to remember that lesson.

I’ve recently started painting my home office emerald green. I asked my 15yo what he thought of the color. 15yo: It’s definitely… different… from the rest of the house… Me: You don’t like it? 15yo: No, it’s just… very green. That is Polite Teenager for “thanks, I hate it.” 😂

Yesterday, I had a minor treatment that requires clinical observation afterwards - RN checks in every 15-30 minutes. No one: Absolutely no one: Me, chilling out and slightly inebriated from meds: 🎶 NEEDLE MEEP MOO! NEEDLE MEEP MEEP MOO! 🎶 I remember none of this, but my nurse was very amused.

Notes to my younger self: Impostor syndrome indicates that you have dodged the Dunning-Kruger effect. Recognizing the things you don’t know (yet) can feel like staring into the abyss, but it’s actually a universe. It’ll be ok.

Software orgs fire eng & QA for shoddy work - even on systems that aren’t super critical/regulated (e.g. games vs. finance or healthcare). So I’m supposed to buy from a CAR MANUFACTURER that constantly blows off basic defects?! Hard pass.

Thank you for articulating what I’ve struggled to put into words. I’ve always felt such a powerful sense of belonging in Jewish spaces. The past few months have felt like having the rug pulled out from under me.

I was raised Pentecostal. My gran really loved "speaking in tongues" because it was a great way to distract from conflict and get people to baby her. I said "I wonder why God never makes you speak in tongues around psychiatrists." Weirdly, she never did it around me again.

Several of my roomies were pretty burly dudes who picked up on the creep factor. They started asking some questions and WriterMan did finally fuck off. He left in a sulk and made several comments calling me a bitch for dating someone else. (Note: I am, in fact, a bitch. Just not for that.)

BUT THERE'S MORE! A while later, I brought a date to a big house party we were throwing. WriterMan showed up (note: I had no idea we had mutual acquaintances). Dude followed me all night. He would stare super hard, then scribble furiously in his notebook for a few minutes - lather, rinse, repeat.

And yes, I ABSOLUTELY asked a nearby friend to have a sudden emergency so that I could gtfo - shoutout to Beth for being across the street and running into the coffee shop near hysterics. Friendo really went for the Oscar on that one.

When I was about 20, I had a 1st date at a coffee shop. Dude was awkward, but lots of people are at first. He mentioned being a writer and offered to let me read his work. Bro pulled out a giant manuscript, put it in front of me, and watched expectantly. Never felt so uncomfortable before or since.

The US is such an absurd place. I mean, it’s also, you know, awful, but if you ignore the widespread bigotry and oppression, it’s an incredibly silly place.

Absolutely. These skills take time to build, but you have to actively work towards building them. Someone who refuses to do that work is choosing to disregard the well-being of those closest to them, as well as their own.

Yep. I used to work on a knowledge expert engine that reviewed medical claims (why yes, it WAS like working for Satan!). It’s incredibly naive to think that machines haven’t been processing these claims for ages.
