    @justkelly_ok If you haven’t listened to the excellent Lolita Podcast by @jamieloftusHELP, she talks about Allen and Manhattan in one episode. Can recommend – excellent deep dive into the book, dramatisations, and culture of sexualising children. https://t.co/mRBnA1v1jK

    You might think that moving to the other side of the world would mean that men would stop asking me to share my binders full of Aussie technical women looking for jobs. You would be wrong.

    (In case the sarcasm isn’t clear, THERE ARE NO BINDERS.)


    @jcnsingapore The great secret of the tech industry is that there are loads of talented women developers just desperate for new jobs, but the only way to find them is to ask another women to act as unpaid recruiter and spoonfeed their names to you, right? 😂


    @darthted I enjoyed the recruiter today who was basically like, “I know you’re not looking, but here are ten .Net developer roles I’m recruiting for in Sydney if you want to, like, do my job for me.” I mean, dude. No part of that has any relevance to me.

    @thebeebs Whoops. I wondered!


    @FourRedShoes I see it, especially if she has a fringe too. 😂


    @FourRedShoes Throw on an anklet and you got yourself a Snorkmaiden for sure!


    @QuinnyPig Slight disagree on this one. I’ve seen (personally and through connections) lots of companies who acknowledge you’re worth more, but offer you less because it’s either all they can afford or the minimum they think you’ll accept. But it’s not your *worth*.


    @QuinnyPig I don’t disagree with any of that. I’m just burnt from startups and social orgs that have explicitly cited their vision and mission as a reason candidates should accept massive pay cuts for the privilege of working for them. 🙁

    TIL that Juicero for cocktails exists – https://t.co/s2x30GF1Bd – complete with DRMed flavour pods and a subscription service. Come on, tech industry. Really?! 🙄


    @DivineOps Hmm. I disagree. I think of coaches as being experienced in particular field, and able to provide practical guidance on how to do the thing (like a sports coach). A good mentor shouldn’t just speak about their own exp, but guide mentee to solve problems for themselves.

    Feeling about 96% recovered from tonsillitis. Woke up to the aroma of freshly baked soda bread (courtesy of the Snook), which I ate with honey from beehives at the AWS Munich office. 🍯🐝❤️ #beepeculiar @hereataws https://t.co/ngnzRK9Npz

    Did you take an @awscloud training course or get a certification that led to a promotion or new job working with the cloud? Drop me or @Vel12171 a DM – there’s a very special project happening! 👩🏼‍🎓🧑🏾‍🎓👨🏿‍🎓


    Me: Hey, shine your phone light down my throat and see if it looks infected?
    The Snook: YES!

    Damn. Video call with doctor booked this morning. 🤒


    Outcome: doctor thinks it’s viral and wants me to rest and not talk for five days.

    ME. NOT TALK. FIVE DAYS. 😳


    @mmastertheone Rodd is very amused by this state of affairs.


    @misswired @stufromoz Apparently this is, like, the minimum. Normally German doctors prescribe like a week of bed rest for pretty much anything, my colleagues say.


    @anshumalis Maybe I can get that Colonel Sanders voice going…


    TIL that the iOS Translate app has text-to-speech, this solving my need to communicate and improving @the_snook’s German. 😍☕️ https://t.co/70gfyARvNO


    This is the face of a man whose wife has been forbidden to speak for FIVE DAYS by her doctor. “Ahhhh, sehr ruhig!” 🤐 @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/NK0171540T


    @randomknits @the_snook Suddenly, he’s very talkative. Our whole dynamic is changing. 🙃


    4 – liver (not an offal fan), celery (DEVIL WEED), watermelon (never really cared for it), snails (but I think I tried them once and they were okay?). Honestly, this all seems like VERY normal food to me. I was a picky eater as a kid, but damn, evidently I’m not as an adult! https://t.co/yoItWROcJl


    @steven_bryen HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE SCURVY STEVEN


    @JessicaFGWrites I know you’re not supposed to judge picky eaters… but I confess I do. How are these people not sick constantly? That’s practically disordered eating, right?


    @frconil Yes. I was waiting for the “chicken hearts” and “natto” and “durian” tbh. But, like, strawberries and tofu?

    Learning from my friend and @awscloud colleague @jennapederson how she handles learning from failure. “Is there a failure too big?” Only one you’re not learning from. 👏 https://t.co/7mGJ5nnnQ4

    “Facebook should just ban linking to everything. It would be a lot better.” Hot take from the Snook…


    @fields They’ve literally just banned linking to news stories in Australia, because the government is demanding they pay news companies.


    Really great to see @bekathwia on the @Raspberry_Pi Maker stream tonight! Suddenly feeling inspired to break out the conductive thread again… 🪡🧵🚨 https://t.co/xtz5tKe7PJ

    @randomknits Once in high school my car inexplicably broke down and, being an idiot, I left it at the side of the road and got a ride to school. My livid mother explained to me that night that internal combustion engines do, in fact, need petrol to run. 🙃


    @girlgerms My theory is that they’re spammers, and eventually they’ll ask you for money. A lot of the ones that message me purport to be in the military, which presumably explains why I will need to wire them money to distant ports. 😐 I just block every single one…

    My knitting stream has gotten so popular that today a guy created three separate accounts just to harass me in the comments. So, uh, yay for being a woman on the Internet? 😐


    @AliciaBytes Oh, he wasn’t asking me out. He wanted me to know he found me unattractive. 🙄 Banned repeatedly.


    @KaiPMDH Yup. But on the upside, I got to learn some more about Twitch moderation tools and the other folks on the stream were super nice and reported them too.


    @Japh Aw, thanks. Just a drive-by shitposter. I’ve already given them more mental energy than they deserve. 🙂
