@CharlotteNB @hypatiadotca my wife was labelled HM as an early adult and it still defines her in her mind. Hard to escape that.

RT @Spacekatgal: At the arcade where I grew up, this theme was on giant posters. This constant reinforcement has consequences for how women…

@marcoarment @fastly is not “enterprisey” at all, though they run a lot of huge sites. Good folks too, with great IRC support.

@marcoarment Afraid it falls under “better CDN”, but @fastly is excellent, with a great API, and good control over expiration.

@dustinboston and how would you use that to mark up “it’s” (the single quote in a contraction or possessive)

@jordansissel “now on Marketplace, let’s do the numbers”

@uberfuzzy Yeah, that’s not bad for explicitly marked up stuff. A pain for general text. I guess a CMS could take care of it.

@freebsdgirl My coffee’s cold. THANKS GAMERGATE.

@joestump I was wondering about something in Javascript, but access to the clipboard in Javascript seems like it would be a bad idea.

@ginatrapani @anildash I have seriously been thinking about this. If you’d like to chat, I’d love to bend your ear.

Gina Tripani posted her thoughts on what she calls short-form blogging.

> "With the obvious caveat that rules are made to be broken (with reason), my new rules for blogging are:"

• If it's a paragraph, it's a post.
• Traffic is irrelevant
• Simplify, simplify
• Ask for trusted collaborator feedback
• Have fun

The kinds of rules I want to get back to.

@TheQuinnspiracy great interview - thanks for sticking around and educating many of us.

So sad. We have to fix this. RT @invicticide: … Thanks @Spacekatgal for the excellent op-ed! http://t.co/BL3QTLuSWT http://t.co/Wt4eBTbUfM
