It's pretty magical here. The Travel Oregon animated ads pretty much nailed it.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
Wisconsin VICTORY!! 👏👏👏
That’s 2 for 2 of the Oregon senators voting no for the CR ✅
Was happy to see this - but noticed a bunch of folks talking about “cloture” in the comments - what is that?

Resistance act of the day:
Finally convinced myself to call my senators and house reps.
I did it! Yay! 💪 And now next time will be easier.
Resistance act of the day:
Binge watch Rings of Power so we can let our Prime subscription expire with zero regrets at the end of the month.
My 3yr old just used the word “persnickety” and I love it so much 🥹
Resistance step of the day:
Save the phone numbers of your senators and house rep to your phone. Text them to folks with the same.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.
by embracing preparedness, you are building mental and physical resiliency for yourself and your community.
agency is, essentially, the opposite of trauma. creating plans and taking steps towards those plans is, in some ways, more important than actually succeeding at those plans. always be trying.
if you, for whatever reason, decided to start some basic home preparedness today, and can only get to a few stores, here's what I'd tell you to get:
-walkie talkies for everyone in your family
-little portable power packs, one per phone
-a print road atlas
[...]
Preparedness step of the day:
Check your family’s passports, ensure they won’t expire soon and renew if they do.
Good news for folks who want to support local booksellers

Just gave @skylight.social a scroll!
I got a few too many wrestling videos for my liking 😆 But I’m sure that’ll get figured out soon enough.
Stoked to see this up and moving forward!

Respond back to me at the same volume I initiated the request.
If I whisper to you to turn off the music as I tiptoe out of my toddler’s room at bedtime, yelling back at me is not ideal 😆
When I joined the tech industry in 2019, I was optimistic.
I felt so strongly that the tech industry could be a force for good in the world.
I’m finding it hard to be optimistic these days.
Called out a leader in my company for only caring about D&I when it was convenient during a meeting with all of his direct reports.
Too much? Maybe. :sweating:
I facilitate a monthly group (mob) programming workshop at the New Relic offices in Portland.
We get together with folks of various levels and code together! We'll have a brief introduction into the whats and hows of group programming and then dive into a small problem.
It's a good time!
Proud of myself.
Instead of just hack-ily copy/pasting files when I accidentally created a branch off an old branch (as I usually do because rebase scares me), I successfully rebased onto main! 🙌

I broke my son’s grapefruit train and now I feel like a horrible human being.
