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

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

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.

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?

@burr86 ORLY? I hated gerrit at 6A - so many steps

When your iPhone sound is so high that unlocking it sounds like you're racking a shotgun.

@rubencodes @mrgan @fullbright BREAKING: I'm tired, I got nothin.

@mrgan yeah that's fair - that tweet sort of wandered away from me. Anyone can learn but is it fair to say some personalities lean that way?

@lmorchard I like curmudgeonly capaldi - after 1200 years the Doctor has earned a few "get off my lawn"s

@mrgan @fullbright I don't judge people who don't see it - that sort of visual sense can be learned but is helped starting with a good eye.

@mrgan just wow.
