I asked @TypeErr0r what are some ways to actively be anti-racist. Here's a list of things she told me we can do today, and every day.

Learn how to be a good ally. guidetoallyship.com
Help us get the therapy we need to cope with the effects of white supremacy in all its forms. thelovelandfoundation.org/loveland-thera…
Make it a habit to do nice things for Black people. Random acts of kindness can go a long way.
Stop and film the police when you see them interacting with Black people. Your presence may save a life.
Make an effort to call in the “casual racists” in your life. Notice I said “in,” not call them out. Talk to them. Don’t be afraid to do the work.
Donate to bail funds because the last place someone protesting police brutality should be is in police custody. bailfunds.github.io
Donate to bail funds for trans folks. They face even more danger than cis folks when incarcerated. lgbtqfund.org
Realize that no one is truly free until everyone is free. The fight for justice is intersectional. Sexism and classism need to be dismantled, too.
Learn what misogynoir is and then read about it even more. Consider this: Black slave women were tortured and experimented upon in the name of gynecological research. Fast forward to now and we are more likely to die during childbirth. WHY?
Listen to our stories without judgement. Listen to them without the filters of respectability politics or your own experiences. Just listen to us.

Dad called. "IT question" he says.
"Yes this is the IT department how can I help you today?" I said.
He says he needs help transferring apps from one ipad to another.
I'm like, Dad you only have 1 ipad.
He said no. No time to explain. We need to act fast.
<thread>
I'm like no. I bought you your ipad. I configured it for you. I configure all your devices for you. Did something happen to it that I need to look at it?

He said the thing is real low on battery.
I'm like, yeah, plug it in. He said didn't work. I said, Ok well probably the cable is bad. Try another cable. He said he spent an hour looking for another cable around the house, found it, and after leaving it charging for 2 hours, it went from 1% to 7%. But now that cable won't charge it at all.
He said he didn't know what to do and was stressing out thinking he was going to lose everything on it. So he took it to... the photo development area at Walgreens? and asked them, "can I borrow a cable to check if my tablet will charge?" They were very sweet and he said they tried like 5 cables and told him, it's not a cable issue, something else.

He took it to a grocery store and asked some teenagers what they thought. They said looks like there's gunk in the port. So he went home and used his air hose to blow air at the charge port. He said tons of dust came out, but it still wouldn't charge.

People asked me what my sleep routine is like since I've worked hard at optimizing it.
I treat my body like a system.
I've debugged, refactored, and hardened my sleep script. 🧵

My sleep metrics from the last week. I'm not perfect. I'm still improving. But this is what I do. Image
First rule: Your day sets your night.
At system boot (aka wake-up), I run getSunlight() immediately. Light exposure triggers circadian timers. Like an NTP sync for your biological clock. 🌞
You want solid shutdown at night?
Run the system hot during the day.
• Heavy lifts or long runs (physical load)
• Deep work (mental load)
• Movement, not idle
By 10PM, my system wants to shut down.

I'm in a Telegram channel where someone discovered the password to NASA's mars rover is "Mars2020!" It's been doing donuts for the last hour... Image
They just changed it's name to Rover McRoverface. Image
It's now playing Sandstorm by Darude.

Today, I’m Leaving Patreon, and Here’s Why. 1/🧵
👇
I have a lot of respect for Jack Conte (co-founder of Patreon) and his band Pomplamoose—he’s a brilliant, creative force. What he built with Patreon is groundbreaking. I was thrilled to be part of this movement to support creators directly. Thank you Jack, truly.

But over time, Patreon has gone through growing pains—and I’ve felt every single one of them.
1️⃣ The Security Team Scandal

In 2022, Patreon fired its entire internal security team. When this news broke, I lost a lot of patrons who didn’t feel safe keeping their financial data on a platform that appeared to be abandoning security.

Ironically, I wasn’t against this move. Patreon outsourced security to external experts—which was probably a smart decision. They wanted to focus on the product and let specialists handle security.

But here’s the problem: They botched the messaging completely.

The headlines made it sound like Patreon was ditching security altogether, and they never even tried to explain themselves well. That directly hurt my income because people left over bad optics rather than an actual risk.

If you're in IT, I highly encourage you to write a blog.

Here are 17 reasons why you should be blogging.
🧵👇
1. Don't think of the blog as some new profound insight that makes you look smart. Instead, just write notes to yourself. If you make the blog useful to you, it'll be useful to others.
2. Throughout your career you'll stumble onto lots of great tips and advice and commands and tricks and ways to do thing. Blog all that. You will remember it better if you write it down. And it'll be easy for you to find it later.

20 lessons learned in my 10 years working as network security engineer. My job was to configure and manage firewalls for customers.

🧵👇
1. Always have a backout plan. If you're going to be making changes to production equipment, expect it to go all wrong one day and you'll be ok if you have a plan for that. If not you'll be burned.
2. Sometimes your role is just a therapist. And people just need to be reassured or to be listened to when they need to get something off their chest. These are the easiest problems to fix because all you gotta do is listen.
