Last line starts today... If this works it's only because this team never quit, and if it fails it won't be because this team didn't do more than everything they could. Shit, they've been making shit up as they go for weeks now and they've been honest about it and they've cut more tape than any healthcare team should ever have to. Fuck cancer, and fuck the healthcare system bureaucracy for making it so much harder to fight...

@phase2 😂
Now that is a much needed laugh, thank you.

@phase2 My 8yo has recently taken issue with this very thing. She's also not convinced we need last names or eyebrows.

@Minholkin Thank you. The worries are for my wife... Early relapse Primary Mediastinal Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma. Surgery today to execute a tricky biopsy of a new tumor binding her aortic arch to the back side of her breasts bone

@LnzyHou pretty sure I'm just passing through, thanks though 🙂

I haven't been on social media (any) in a couple months... As I sit here in the hospital waiting room today though I opened up all the platforms to scroll the time away.

It's incredible, CoSo is, possible the last civilized social platform out here. The conversations, debates, the kindness... This truly is quite the achievement. Even if I continue to abstain from social media I don't think I will ever discontinue my CoSo Pro. It's pennies, but if it helps keep these lights on it's worth it.

My Dad passed today. He's been sick and battling dementia for a while and I thought I had already grieved the loss of the man I knew, but I don't think I really grieved anything at all. I'm glad he's at peace now, but I'm not sure I'm ready to be without him.

You know, I just can't break this (career) wheel...

Find interesting technical work, try to blend in and not get noticed, get noticed, get slowly moved away from technical work and into "thought leadership" roles, realize what happened and try to find my way back into interesting technical work, repeat.

I'm a terrible mentor, I'm regularly paralyzed by imposter syndrome, I have no desire to return to management, I just want to try to break stuff and write about it while being invisible...

Finally the team clicked and got their first win. Between her squad and the Phillies I'm not gonna have a voice on Monday...

Another weekend at the pitch...

Sleepy Smokey...

I never thought I'd see extremism penetrate this government so effectively.

There are 435 people in the House that have sworn an oath and accepted positions in which their entire job is to perform the people's business.

I know it would be career suicide, but out of the 221 Republicans I can't believe (I guess I can actually) that there aren't 5 who would take their job and the well-being of this country serious enough to join the Democrats, elect Jeffries as speaker, and reopen the House for the people.

I have never seen this level of destructive partisan politics.

A House Divided Cannot Stand

Rep. Jordan's flat refusal to work with Democrats, his threats to Republicans that would, and his pro-division ideology is his blatant admission that he has no allegiance to this Country or its institutions at all. He simply wants to see it all burn.

I know, I may be preaching to the choir, but I just cannot wrap my head around how we got here or that so many support staying here. I've dedicated my career to serving this Nation and it pains me to see this go on.
