When I went to law school, I knew a law degree would be helpful no matter what I chose to do in life. Never did I imagine that I would use my skills & training to "prove" my husband's innocence to federal prosecutors after @jeffbezos & @amazon tried to imprison him. A 🧵 /1

Changed my Gmail "undo send" time from 5 to 20 seconds. Gotta give myself a longer window as I get older, my reaction time's slowing down. 😅

Just want to give a quick shout-out to @StickerGiant. If you're looking for custom sticker printing, I recommend them. Great values, great quality. Back when I was organizing events for the Boston tech scene, they supported as a sponsor for many years.

I work with some folks in Ukraine and Putin's ongoing atrocities against their country are awful and insane. Yesterday Russia attacked Ukranian cities with a new wave of missiles, causing blackouts, 19 dead, 105 injured. https://t.co/ZLJbQUmn42 Terrorism, plain and simple.

Wow. Huge tech companies having no accountability or transparent appeals process for user bans has become such a problem, it looks like there's now a whole cottage industry of 3rd parties trying to spam (and scam?) people it happens to.

Boston friends! I miss you and am planning to spend some time there this summer to reconnect. So I'm looking to sublet a room 🏠 for a month or two. Do you happen to have or know of one that's available for July & August (possibly late June too)? I'd love to hear about it! 🙏

Day 90 of Ukraine resistance. For 3 months, Russia has been bombing and launching missiles on Ukraine, its soldiers killed, raped and looted. More than a million of Ukrainians deported. But Ukraine is still standing, north regions liberated. World must not get tired to support 🇺🇦

The exodus of child protective services investigators that happened after Texas ordered them to "investigate" trans kids has resulted in the state no longer having the resources to investigate actual instances of child and sexual abuse:

Other investigators don’t want to follow an order they believe harms families but worry about the impact of a mass employee exodus on the state’s most vulnerable children.

⚡️Zelensky: Russia fired rocket artillery at Kharkiv today. This is clearly a war crime. A peaceful city, peaceful residential areas, no military facilities. Dozens of eyewitness recordings prove that this is not a single false volley, but a deliberate destruction of people.

My second monitor kicked the bucket and I can feel my productivity draining away. All those mono-tasking advocates would probably point out how focused I've been in searching for a new second monitor though. 😂
