Tim here! SF for 10 years. Baltimore raised.

🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷🤍🩵

I work in data science for a university. I raise money for HIV/AIDS support services.

DnD, CoC and proud of my evolving character for three campaigns now - Lola!
This is GREAT.
1. Impact. How much revenue does my work protect or generate?

2. Quality. Does my work meet or exceed customer expectations?

3. Efficiency. Reward making the right buy versus build decision.

4. Reusability. How do others leverage my work?

5. Supportability. How much work do I create for others?
a question for the people who write code for money:

if you could wave a magic wand and have your performance/promotability measured on any 5 metrics of your choice, what would those metrics be?

Also, in SF today along Ocean Beach, flying low and toward the Golden Gate Bridge was this dual rotor/bladed helicopter.

Feels very much like… military presence.

I like this app.

I liked TikTok more, but in a different way.

I feel like I’ve lost my quick-witted cousin for the nerdier, more intellectual relative.

I’m not mad, just… feeling empty.

THIS.

X/Tiwtter I feel has suppressed links that jump outside their site in an attempt to keep you inside.

More is more, so let it be 🤷🏻‍♂️
I gotta say that being able to play YouTube links in-app is amazing and it doesn't make me want to leave Bluesky, it makes me want to use it more. I cannot believe what we've been forced to tolerate by tech behemoths for so long in their desperation to prevent access to the rest of the internet.

Hold me close oh Tony Danzaaaaaaaa
my three year old is obsessed with pink pony club by chappell roan. He thinks it’s a song about pink ponies. (He loves horses.)

No one tell him

And I want to eat the pickles separately!
Them: *mystified, watching me pluck all the sliced pickles off my bagel, one by one* Why don't you just order it without the pickles?

Me: Because I like just enough of the flavour that I want to taste where the pickle's *been*, just not where it *is*.

Them: ...

Me: ...what?

This makes the Bluesky transition official, at leas for me.

Welcome home 🥰
Alright folks, for the first time on BlueSky, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo!

I’m not above an ADORABLE promo gift.

Also, the movie was beyond. High expectations: met.

Ari nailed it. Cynthia nailed it. Their friendship nailed it.

Pure magic.

So my mom passed say four years ago today. She suffered early dementia and she loved Christmas.

Here’s a pic when her decorations won a neighborhood recognition.

My mom - Christmas Carole ❤️

I’m really proud of these!

I found a handblown glass vase that was slightly unloved. And I have a glass/rock tumbler.

So the vase is now several beautiful necklaces for people to enjoy.

And she’s a reminder that we’re all in this together, connected to each other

🥰🖤❤️

My coworker gave me clipping of her succulents and I cannot begin to describe my gratitude.

Am I a green witch? I might be a green witch!

Following on yesterday, today my Ukrainian coworker babushka brought me a slice of toasted sourdough and a few slices of pomelo 🥰

We had a cute breakfast where I shared some of my cabbage soup. I’m living for this work friendship

My Ukrainian coworker is like out grandma.

Today she saw I was feeling down, and handed me a homemade pierogie slightly burned around the edges.

It was the most grandmotherly thing that’s happened in a very long time and I’m quietly holding back tears as I lift up to face :waves hands wildly:
