One thing I miss about twitter is the comedy juxtapositions that arose on a general purpose social media platform, shitposts punctuated by updates on road closures from your local council, that kind of thing

Every time I open twitter my timeline seems to be full of videos of eggs being cooked in various ways

It feels like a premonition of the web of the future, just endless scrolling through vaguely hypnotic videos of things that may or may not be real being made

Googling to find reading on the decline of search on the web and getting loads of results from seo agencies saying no it's fine actually read on to find out more ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’€

I am wary of generalisations in ideas like the drama triangle. But honestly when I look back at every job or team I've worked on, I can immediately identify the person everyone was trying to either reassure or placate, and the folk who thought they were helping but actually perpetuated the unhealthy dynamic. It's been almost ubiquitous in my experience.

The only people who seem not to have been pulled into it? The ones with a strong enough sense of self that they aren't using a job to shore it up.

Guess we better get used to it then LOL.

@mloxton I don't think this is so much about keeping / getting jobs as it is about the interpersonal dynamic that happens whenever folk are in the same environment for a sustained period of time

This doc about evangelical christian influence on american politics and its relationship to support for israel is extremely disturbing, it is absolutely a death cult https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001z96s/storyville-praying-for-armageddon

Listen, there have been a lot of times over the years where my refusal to take shit in a workplace environment has harmed me, sometimes with severe financial consequences lolol, but I don't think anyone looks back at their working life and says "I wish I'd taken more shit"

@blaise I'm sorry that happened!

@maaretp I always hesitate to give this advice tbh! I have never regretted valuing my own self respect over a job fwiw.

A computer cannot take it, therefore a computer should not dish it out

A long time ago me and my brother were asked to be godparents to a younger relative and during the service we were asked the "Do you reject Satan" question, I said nothing and my brother muttered "mibbe"

Keep your options open ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Mibbe means maybe

It's not the Godfather but it's the closest thing I have

My body is starting to piss me off

๐Ÿ˜ข Oh no you haven't done enough and now I'm all sluggish and low
๐Ÿ˜ฉ Oh no you've done too much and now I'm all fatigued and sore

Bit of an arsehole tbh

I made a website that shows you how to teach folk in Glitch for this month's code jam https://glitch.com/~teach-in-glitch

sue,
@sue@glasgow.social avatar

There are loads of things you can do inside a Glitch project to help folk learn and I have maintained a deranged focus on discovering them for some years now lolll

sue,
@sue@glasgow.social avatar

The code jams are a cool way to prod yourself to build something however small or daft https://glitch.com/jams/

Nothing radicalises me more against the gatekeeping that is quite literally built into software engineering tooling than setting up local developer environments lol I had to do it this week and you better believe a blog post is incoming ๐Ÿ˜‚

sue,
@sue@glasgow.social avatar

Of course the universe decided to punish me by requiring me to set up several developer environments in the space of a couple of weeks, well played satan
