Normalize telling your friends that you love them. There's nothing shameful about expressing that sentiment. In fact, the world would be a lot better if this was normalized.

Building a Quantum Computing Lab in #COSORealms - you'll be able to watch over my shoulder while I take on RSA encryption using IBM Quantum Computing Platform. And I do mean literally watch me coding, live, and real-time on a virtual computer inside #COSORealms. And it's all hooked up to IBM. We're gonna change the world Marty! 🤔

I feel like, when people realize they don't need either Daddy, or Me, or any of the other boogeymen they use to justify their lives and choices (that they are the authority to judge their own), they're finally ready to try and make grownup decisions.

People credit and blame gods and monsters for the gods and monsters that dwell within.

You cannot master what you won't own up to.

If your answer to gun violence or any other problem is, "Pray to God for him to intervene," you have no place in #Politics.

Leave governance to those of us who comprehend reality and actually want to solve problems.

I've decided to put a name to my personal philosophy: refrigeratarianism. It basically consists of random moments of meditation while holding the refrigerator door open and staring blankly inside.

Today a trans friend of mine held on for a hug longer than she usually does. She then began to cry into my shoulder and choked “Thank you that you at least try to understand me”.

It broke my heart. I just want to scream “People are suffering! People you love are suffering! Stop buying into the rhetoric that dehumanizes good people!”.

I've been online since before the net was public. Long before AOL, when it was mostly libraries and just a few colleges.

I remember when the net was "empty" and people could only be found in pockets of communities that were built around commonalities and curiosity. When if there were more than 10 people on at one time in the same online space, it was a real party. 🎉🤣

I've been a participant, a moderator, and an OP when that stood for operator, not original poster 🤣

My lovelies, it's 2023, we are not making ourselves smaller so someone else can feel big. That's a very 1900's thing and we're a couple decades past that.
We can respect boundaries without devaluing ourselves to fit someone's misconceptions about us.

If you're reading this you're fucking fabulous and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

Oooops, kicked a hornets nest.

If your kids teacher, guidance counselor, is asking you get your kid tested it ISN’T cuz they think your kid is slow/damaged/off. It’s likely they see your kids as brilliant but doesn’t fit the square peg of round norms and wants to help your kid.
