In short: proactively dabble, grasp at mentorship opportunities when they arise, and try to solve problems even if your abilities aren't quite up-to-snuff. Get feedback, and do it all over again.

Eventually, I was building out scripting-heavy, API-inclusive workflows that dramatically helped our team, and helped me land a dream role: that of Scaled Support Program Manager on the Content Operations team!

Began using Javascript as an extension for #Airtable whenever I ran up against that tool's native limitations. Managing our only technical support engineer gave me a someone I could bounce ideas off of, and an encouraging manager helped me focus and scale my efforts!

Joined and regularly participated in a coding club when I was just starting out at #Airtable. This was when Javascript initially started clicking for me...

Took a Web Design course on #Coursera that taught me (more) HTML and CSS, Javascript, and Ruby on Rails.

❓ What systems do you borrow from to improve combat in DnD 5e? 🎲

Most interested in learning how to streamline encounters to make them faster and more engaging for non combat-focused players while letting my min-maxers have a satisfying brawl. Drop recommendations in the comments ⬇️

In love with my DnD DMing dashboard I built in #Airtable. I have session logs, character standings with factions, NPC statuses and profile sharing, and Discord notifications and calendar events that are all managed from a single interface.
How do you keep track of your DMing?

Just saw this in a chat. And I think I'm gonna wear way more 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ items again.
Don't let them make you afraid. Show them we still stand together. Against them.
Sticker decal on a lamp post. It reads:
I don't wear rainbow colored items to tell you who's in my bed. I wear progressive pride items so the family acriss the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant  know they aren't alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won't judge.
I wear because you make them hide.

Ok good work folks, we're up to being able to fund 6-7 (really depends on how much people ask for, the range is $300-1000, and people are asking generally for 500-1000 in the applications that have come in so far).

Applications are open until Feb 14!

Since announcing this, tiktok went down, came back, & blasted Trump propaganda 2x. The internet will be an even tougher place for science.

I have enough to fund ~5 of these projects. More than 5 should be funded. They're going to be v important.

Help us fund more if you can.

Instead of just reading summaries on news sites, I highly recommend going through these executive orders and really absorbing the intent and language. It's fucked.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?

hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.

Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.
