Today will come and go. But the people who love you still love you. Your voice still matters. We are still listening. And still fighting.

Computer: Are you talking? Your mic is muted. Me: No, I'm just eating really loudly.

My cat highlighted and deleted half of an agenda doc while I was in a meeting today. Boop💥
A few months ago I bought an adjustable height standing desk 💪. I took it out of the box, set it sitting height, and never looked back.

We’ve set aside $10,000 in matching funds. If you make a donation to a fund that directly benefits Black people in the next 7 days, we will match it. (More in thread 👇)
A quote we’ve been thinking about: “I always ask myself when I’m trying to do solidarity work, can the people I’m in solidarity with actually feel this? Can they spend this? Can they eat this? Does this actually help them in any way? And if it doesn’t, let it go.” — Ijeoma Oluo

My team built a cool little app to help you spread a little love remotely. 💖💌
We love a launch day! And we love connecting with teammates, friends, and family any way we can right now. 💗

This is my JAM. Dance moves and all. I'm not kidding one bit. youtube.com/watch?v=Q-Q3gd6S…
Yay @lynnandtonic! My froyo flavor of choice would be a swirl of 'Perfectly Fitting Jeans' and 'Five-Dollar-Bill You Find In Your Pocket Unexpectedly'. So yummy!
Oh shirt! @lynnandtonic’s #TheGoodPlace project is featured on Slate today! Read about what went into creating thefoodplace.cafe 🍤
While y'all are hanging out in dark mode, I'm here in light mode wishing I could turn the brightness up past the maximum setting. 😎

I've done a lot of thinking lately on how to make project retrospectives simple, productive, and blame-free. If that kind of thing interests you, I wrote up some thoughts on the @andyet blog --> blog.andyet.com/2019/05/23/a…

Happy helicopter day! 🚁 Just kidding we made that up. But we *did* deploy a new version of our site today, and it’s making us feel whoosh-y inside. andyet.com

Raisin cookies are 🙅‍♀️ and chocolate chip cookies are 😋. The opposite is true for bagels. Obviously.

So much this. Even if it means being slightly less clever or slightly more verbose.
Hypothesis: the ease by which you can delete code from a project is a good indicator of how well architected the project is.

This was hands down one of my favorite things from the @andyet remote holiday party this year.
Need some ideas on what to watch/read/play/eat? For our remote holiday party our team put together a Recommendations doc for each other and we figured we’d share it! ✨ Check out what &yet recommends: blog.andyet.com/2019/01/08/a…

If there's anything I've learned this year it's the importance of noticing, embracing, and welcoming new members to a community. Moving to a new place is really hard, and people who have done this for me have made a huge difference.

Past me took some awesome notes in a simple txt file placed exactly where present me needed to find it. Past me saved the day. Present me is eating a celebratory donut.
