Full of chips and queso, now half gone on a bag of sour worms #grownup

Brains, grit, creativity or even the ability to instill joy in others need not apply #peopleareawful

Our culture (esp as distilled and putrifacted online) teaches girls that their only value is that which will draw an affirming male gaze.

@SeanMcTex thanks, it was a couple months ago but this whole thing with Kathy Sierra brought it to mind again.

Had a long chat with my daughter after her chat-app experience, still don't really know how to explain it, except that #peopleareawful

I said I stand with @seriouspony. But I didn't when Kathy was still here, and I'm sorry. Thinking of my 13-year old daughter now.

My daughter installed a teen-chat app on her phone and was immediately propositioned and asked to disrobe. Came to me in tears.

It's raining outside so I'm curling up with a hot cup of... Queso #nomnomnom

I stand with @seriouspony. No excuse for malignant and chronic misogynism, racism and hate.

@nimby @lchen yes, @nimby, I know. :-) trying to find something less... "Pro" :-)

@lchen @nimby or other cheap not-awful options?

@nimby @lchen opinion on steelseries Siberia v2?

Does this exist? Decent sub-$100 game-style headset that can also be used with an iphone for calls? (Calling @nimby and friends)

Thank you @davewiner for 20 years of blogging, for sticking with it and encouraging us to, and for championing real internet publishing.

@ncoghlan_dev how would someone who has to google init script templates all the time feel about it?
