😲 that sounds personal. something clearly has beef with you. but as someone with MCAS, I also tend to be like "mast cells 🀷🏼"

White transmasc person with black glasses and a faded black tank showing off a new haircut. It's a bit fluffy at the top, and short on the sides. There's a fade at the back that you obviously cant see from this direction.

I have suffered the indignity of the barber playing clearly "vintage" music and me knowing every word to every song because it was the same stuff we awkwardly slow danced to circa middle school πŸ˜† So now I feel old. But I did get a great haircut!

I’m full of fury with nowhere to put it. my nervous system is shot. I already have a shit ton of medical appointments each week and a ton of mental overhead and they just made it worse. I’ve now had 2 lab appointments with them so far, and each time they fucked something up. the tism is not amused.

I have to redo my 24h urine test. My useless medical center fucked up and told me to return only a small sample last week. I should’ve handed in the whole bottle. So now I have to forgo chocolate, tea, coffee, banana, vanilla, and nuts again for 3 days and then piss into a bottle again for 24 hours.

I guess if you are/know a good PMM with a technical background who's capable of taking charge and owning this position, hmu. (European time zones preferred)

Getting a handful of these weird and off-putting cryptonerds trying to argue about this.

Brother, Nostr is over there. Join your weird and off-putting and extremely suspicious fellow travellers in Jack Dorsey's *other* attempt at making a safe space for you freaks.

What's funny is, every rude label is done manually. It's not an automatic grep for cuss words, a mod manually flagged it

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. β™₯️

Theyre admittedly hard to find. My client has been looking for a PMM for a while and we just aren't getting any candidates that actually are a fit. Candidate pool is diverse, partially because I've shared it in my networks, so that's not to blame for once. It's just hard to find ppl who get both.

I undeniably get a kick out of this every time it happens but it also says something about the persistent disconnect between marketing and engineering teams. And that saddens me because there's so much opportunity there. The problem is that many tech companies are not hiring technical marketers.

I've seen this happen so many times: because I'm technically located in marketing, engineers are often initially reluctant when I ask them for a call. But once they meet me and see what kind of questions I ask, they tend to soften quickly and often the call ends with "anything you need, let me know"

The tendinitis in my left wrist is pretty bad so I'm using voice typing today, and it turns out that's a bit of a shit situation if your literal job is to write.

I know lots of Spaniards complain about the medical centers and GPs here, and I definitely have some struggles with mine as well. Also wait times for specialists can sometimes be long. But compared to the three other countries I’ve lived in over the past decade, it’s miles ahead still.

Yeah, Vox is a problem but so far it seems to still be a contained problem. Underserved rural areas are unsurprisingly being targeted by the right but I have some hope that Spain can avoid the current fate of other European countries. The fact that the healthcare system still works is a good sign.

Will Others Follow? Spain Denies Use of Its Bases to US Military for Iran Attacks Spanish government blocks US military from using bases for attacks on Iran. Prime Minister SΓ‘nchez denounces unjustified war. Europe urged to follow suit.

I'm really proud and grateful to live here. Especially after living in fascist Germany for a couple of years. Spain is consistently showing they're on the right side of things. I hope it stays that way for a long time 🀞🏻

it's also why i have such smoke for the other ways people keep the nytimes afloat

when i say the NYTimes deserves neither your money nor your respect, i also mean NYTimes cooking, NYTimes puzzles, crosswords, connections, and wordle, the wirecutter, the athletic, and all their podcasts.
