@dbsmasher @alicegoldfuss @mipsytipsy I think the popular conception of “mentor” = one-way Yoda-like relationship is really limiting. I was in a group activity a year ago where we came up with all kinds of types of mentors, with sponsors and peers included. https://t.co/GvYBkeouOJ


Final touches nearly done for Art + Tech miniconf at @linuxconfau. Did you hear we’re having an exhibition on Monday? 😊 You’ll be able to check out some of the projects the speakers will be talking about the next day! #lca2018 https://t.co/et1eL7xoVj


@stibbons Was literally just drafting a tweet about it, so I took advantage to quote yours. πŸ˜›


@TheAmpHour Are you guys going to be there? I remember you once mentioned on the podcast my Ignite Sydney talk about knitting and coding. Well, I’m running a whole Art + Tech miniconf this year on that theme! πŸ™‚

@JennaGuillaume Best. Eps. Ever.


@JennaGuillaume As an American: that’s not a real theme. Has never been a real theme. Shut up Barbara Johns.


@JennaGuillaume Andie redeems herself in this episode for me after her shittiness in The Longest Day. She tries to be a good friend.


@JennaGuillaume I love how I’m always at a tech meetup during #PaceysCreek, furtively commenting on your posts instead of paying attention. (I’m the worst.)


“Awwwww” and applause and flowers for @GRobilliard as she passes the #androidsyd torch! πŸ˜­πŸ‘πŸ’ https://t.co/o744KqLqYw

The Revenge of Horace: The Snook spotted “the world’s biggest Huntsman” crawling under our bed at 11pm. Tore the whole room apart, poked the vacuum cleaner everywhere, cats very curious, and… Nothing. We can’t find him. πŸ˜³πŸ•· https://t.co/KCXycJAC7B https://t.co/JkJd9ngAZw


@benschwarz Lately it’s “How Did This Get Made.”


@drkyliesmith Meh. I’m fine with it. I should’ve just squished it with a shoe. SOMEBODY was dancing around like it was crawling on his legs, and it wasn’t me!


@northernsunbird @josephgentle Hilariously, I was the one that was fine with it. It was somebody *else* that had the issue. πŸ˜‚


Big crowd at @Data61news for @dibblego’s functional programming course! Current mood: intimidated but optimistic. #krislearnsfp https://t.co/wZG40aDTEg
