Hurt people hurt people, but it doesnโ€™t have to be that way. We can break the cycle and create better relationships and communities. When we heal from our past traumas, we can have empathy and love for each other. Walking around with the excess baggage of our pasts is wasted time and energy.

I also believe that which works against the survival and betterment of intelligent life is to be opposed and protected against.

So, to me, authoritarianism, monarchies, hierarchical systems of social control of the many by the few are evils.

Diversity is important to all complex systems, especially living and thinking ones.

So bigotry and hatred are evils to me.

Efforts to stop intelligence from advancing are evil to me.

@Cynanthrope @AskTheDevil What you must always remember is, do not be angry at the person who is ill.

They did not choose this.

Be angry at the illness, and at our dreadful mental health care system.

But never lose your love for the person who is unwell, no matter what they do.

it's not a choice they made consciously. And yes it's hard and you need to remind yourself 10, 15, 20 times a day of that fact.

But keep your patience, your belief, and your love.

Good morning to everyone trying to balance their passions with the practicality of life.

I wish I'd had this quote in my early career years in IT: โ€œIt actually doesnโ€™t take much to be considered a difficult woman. Thatโ€™s why there are so many of us." Jane Goodall

In this insane heat, if you have AC, cool water and shade, please share. Buying a window unit or fan for a person in poverty can save their lives. Unhoused animals can't turn on the faucet. Put good vibes into the Universe. Or for me, work off a lot off Karma.

Pet deposits and rent are the
management's way of capitalizing on our love for our babies. Imagine how many more animals would have homes if they stopped this bullshit.

Actual work conversation from this week:

Project manager: So, I was thinking weโ€™ll do a version 1, and then later when we can weโ€™ll do a version 2 to add .

Me: No. Accessibility canโ€™t just be put off. We just need build it right the first time.

The fact that our PM is actually a great guy just makes this so much more disheartening. The โ€œIโ€ in DEI stands for inclusion. Building something (a project related to DEI, no less) that excludes people is not inclusion.

What if... We hooked up to a horror game, gave it control of a model, and let players interact with it?
