“When you remove those books from the shelf or you challenge them publicly in a community, what you’re saying to any young person who identified with that narrative is, ‘We don’t want your story here,’” Maia Kobabe said. Piece by @CantorMatthew theguardian.com/books/2022/aug…

Why is “gonna” only for actions and not for destinations? “I’m gonna eat dinner” sounds fine. “I’m gonna the restaurant” sounds like a mistake. Or do some people use it this way and I’m the weirdo?

I know you’re mad as hell about the abortion ban that just passed in the PA House on a Friday night and what happened under the cover of darkness in the PA Senate last night. I’m mad, too. And I’m going to tell you what we need to do about it: 1/

Just because a governor or a restaurant doesn’t require a mask doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea to wear one when needed. High quality masks & boosters CAN protect us. But if people interpret no mandates to mean “don’t wear a mask,” there will be more sickness & spread. 5/

As blue states remove mask mandates, expect an odd dynamic: Unvaxxed (at highest risk of catching virus & getting sick) will ditch masks. Vaxxed x3 (far lower risk of both) may not, both because they respect the virus & because removal by unvaxxed makes space less safe for them.

I love working with people who are friendly. Who say “thank you” or cheer you on or say “good job.” These things may seem small, but they add up in the same way (but opposite direction) that all the negs and “paper cuts” do. They create a culture. They matter. Kindness matters.

And while unit tests are narrowly scoped, type systems are system-wide. If the call chain `a → b → c → d` has a type error, you get that, for free. Whereas the unit test might only check `a → b` or `c → d`, so the integration-level issue is untested.

Given these uncertainties, it's not surprising that many workers (especially mothers) are thinking of leaving the workforce and why others want access to remote work long-term. 6/ vox.com/recode/2256863…

If we are to truly restore the soul of America, then we need to protect the sacred right to vote. Congress should pass H.R. 1 and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and send them to my desk right away.
