    How did I not know that Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal performed a song from Rent?! I was so incredibly lucky to get to see them perform it together at one of the first previews in London in May 1998, and again on the last day in October 1999. They both sound and look great. ❤️


    I’ve been waiting for R.E.M.’s appearance on this podcast. Does not disappoint…


    Had an absolute blast tonight presenting a workshop for 340+ women as part of the Grace Hopper Celebration Open Source Day with my colleague Jenna! Our session literally started with “What is AWS?” and ended an hour later with a full working CI/CD pipeline using Github Actions to deploy a container on Amazon ECS. WHIRLWIND! We are getting such lovely feedback from the attendees. Makes it all worthwhile. ❤️

    Quilting as high fashion! I hadn’t really thought about it, but a quilt really is a great encapsulation of the “America” theme for the night.
