The care that went into this post from the team at @silverorangeinc made me emotional enought to shed a few tears. Thanks to everyone at silverorange for caring, and being a wonderful group of humans.
Happy #Pride everyone, this June, and every day of the year.
With it being #Pride2021, we asked “What have you noticed or learned working in a company that embraces queer culture?” These are the responses. Pride means a lot of different things to different people and a lot of ❤️ 🤔 😢 and 🤗.

This has been true for a long time but for the record I’m no longer on Twitter. 👋🏻
Farewell to the one social media platform I actually liked. You were always a bit of a hellhole, but you also had truly wonderful bits and humans.
You sure leaned into your worst self didn’t you?

Weird vibe around here 😒.

Thanks everyone who has been any part of this adventure. It's been special because of all of you.
Wow - it's the 23 year anniversary 🎂 of @silverorangeinc today! We've got most of our team on #PEI for the first time since the Covid epidemic. So amazing to see all the new faces and catch up with everyone. 💕

Currently at the weird hinge point of being trans where the ad platforms are very confused and I get ads for erectile dysfunction and beard trimmers as well as for menstruation products and diet products.
What a peek at the human condition.

This is a great thread on hiring that can be generalized to more than design and research hiring, and most of it applies to smaller and slower moving companies just as much as startups scaling fast.
We've hired 54 designers & researchers in the last 4 months at Kraken. I know companies are finding it hard to hire great designers right now, so here are some tips that may help. Let’s get more designers and researchers into the best jobs we can. (Thread 🧵)
I’m one of the individuals!
Although I’m maybe just okay.
Any which way, the virtual event is free and tonight and hopeful useful and interesting. Come watch me slightly uncomfortable, put me in the hot seat with your questions, and hopefully learn from a quality conversation.
This Wednesday we'll have 3 fantastic individuals bringing their experience to the table to talk about career growth! Bring your questions, there's a lot to talk about 🧑🏫👩💼👩🎓 It'll be a night full of learning. To learn more and to RSVP: eventbrite.ca/e/256448633767

It’s a special and lucky thing, to work on something so long and still love it.
I’m so damn thankful for 22 years of being a part of this company building project, and for the groups of people who have helped make it last this long.

This is an excellent thread, and I whole-heartedly agree with all aspects of this take on cryptocurrencies.
Worth noting he's one of the co-creators of Dogecoin, which was intended as satire.

And chaser…
How much “old money” did Spike Lee get paid to shill for this?
Hell, I agree completely that capitalism is a bum system that hasn’t served anyone but those with power and money. But a Ponzi scheme does not equate correcting that system.

NEW: First look at Spike Lee's Bitcoin commercial
“Old money is not going to pick us up – it pushes us down, exploits, and systematically oppresses. The digital rebellion is here. Old money is OUT, new money is IN."

I'm supposed to take my estrogen every day at Noon.
Me, almost every single day:
1. get reminder
2. run upstairs to bathroom, use bathroom
3. return downstairs
(5 minutes to 4 hours pass)
4. remember I was supposed to take my meds
5. remember meds OR repeat 1-4
