Life is just:
Me: Between calls, walking around the house singing random lines from the middle of songs. Out of tune. Loudly.
Him: Kelly, I'm going on a call in a sec (polite, stfu)

PSA: If you’re visibly, and actively working on your vacation, I’m actively judging you.
Especially, if you’re a leader - log off and set the right example for the rest of your team. Boundaries in this digital world are already hard enough, don’t make them harder.

Therapy in my 30's has been a huge turning point in my life. It really feels like I'm unlocking my own boss level baddie against loads of stuff I didn't even know I *could* beat. Ya know?
Read this whole thread. Then read it again. Investing in your research team is investing in the success of your product. It's really that simple.
There is a lot of chatter about when a startup should create a “growth team.” But I am recently hearing of a much better and even more important trend of startups starting a research team or a much better name coined by @abrashafi of @irldotcom, a
“Curiosity team”

Build a product team that gives your product researcher equal weight to PM, design, and engineering in prioritization, feature reviews, and roadmap planning. You will do better to build things in the words of your customers and meet them where they are.
I cannot recommend this training enough. Incredible organization sharing guidance on how to help a victim of street harassment and how such skills are very transferrable.
FREE, fully-funded (by L'Oreal Paris) training by a very engaging facilitator Julie.

If you think directly approaching a harasser is the only way to keep a victim safe, you're wrong. TAKE THIS CLASS.

I ordered clothes from both @Tradlands and @madewell . Both around the same $$, both shipping from US to QC, Canada. @canadaposthelps charged me no import fees on the Madewell order, but CAD*$133* for the Tradlands one. How is this fair? Have to return the Tradlands package
@canadaposthelps is hurting businesses by having these impossibly high and inconsistent fees. I can't pay 1/4 of the cost again for items I order. Who can? Especially when this clearly isn't a consistent rule that allows us to choose whether it's worth it.

Thanks to @mysteriousuniv I discovered Tim Marczenko's book #disembodiedvoices and I will absolutely never get sick of reading about the occult and the paranormal.

Y’all have been brainwashed into believing children and parents share equal responsibility in that relationship and I hate to break it to you but that’s simply not true.
