Deaf and Hard of Hearing @cloudnativefdn working group at #KubeCon in Chicago....
We have been working on educating conferences on how to create more inclusive events. The @linuxfoundation provided ASL interpreters and captioned keynotes.
Felt good to be able to help with this project.

From the Drupal Community and for everyone. Mental Health Resources are Available. Our community is better because you’re in it.

The news lately, both close to home and around the world can be a lot to manage for many people. This feeling of overwhelm and heartbreak is echoed throughout many professional communities, including Drupal. Members of the Community Working Group mission is to support you, our community.

Last night I dreamed in MLA format.

You know how exercise is supposed to release all these endorphins and dopamine and shit that help relieve stress and give you a sort of natural high?

Yeah well, I just perfectly peeled a hard boiled egg and the satisfaction I feel is probably that of a world class Olympian but without all that intensive training, competition, and crotch sweat.

I AM UNSTOPPABLE AND EASILY EXCITED.

Looked in the rearview mirror this morning and discovered my chin has been participating in No-Shave November without my knowledge.

For shits and giggles, I turned on the Pandora Christmas station and YoungStink says, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? It's NOT Christmastime."
And I said, "I DON'T KNOW, OK?"
Then we both danced to The Charlie Brown Christmas version of Oh Christmas Tree. Because, just try to stay mad when that shit is on. I double dawg dare you.

How can we increase the signal-to-noice ratio of the #drupal Planet feed?

It seems to me that there are a lot more SEO-ish - and possibly AI-written - posts that are more gears towards sales than anything else.

https://www.drupal.org/planet

The official description is: "Planet Drupal aggregates broadly appealing, Drupal-related blog posts pertaining to the community at large (code, advocacy, marketing, infrastructure etc.)."

I just ate a gluten-free, fruit sweetened cookie.

Holy cannoli, there's SO MUCH chewing. Now I know how triathletes must feel…

Sometimes I want to go on a people slapping spree, however, that would require me to put on a bra or there's a chance they'd get slapped three times.

I have imposter syndrome, so bad around public speaking it’s ridiculous. Today I presented for the 200th time I wasn’t any less nervous than the first time.

I also have a picture of my cat.

Good news everyone! I recently tried on the dress that was the catalyst of the diet I started a couple of months ago.

The pain was only half as excruciating and I think I only have a little bit of internal bleeding! Woo Hoo!

Hey, anybody know of a relatively easy to use, open source, fantasy map generator?

One of my grandfathers biggest fears was that I would become a stripper. I'm sorry pop-pop.

I know you were looking down on me and were ashamed. I know you taught me better. Yes, I used the wrong screwdriver and stripped the screw on the wheels of my suitcase I was taking apart to change the wheel. I will do better next time, and make you proud of me.

And to any of you that read the first part of this and actually thought I would hit the pole at my age and in this condition? Shame upon you.

Today I was attacked.
I’m packing for my trip. I feel something tickle my face. I tried to swipe it away, and it fell down my shirt. I look and see this little black thing. It looks like a bug! I flail my arms trying to swipe it away, karate chopping the air, all whilst trying not to trip and fall on my ass.
I was terrified it was going to bite/kill/eat me. I took a deep breath and looked again.
It was a piece of black lint people. I almost died over a piece of lint.
How’s your week going?

What do you suppose Miss Muffet's real name was, because you know they just called her that to make it rhyme with tuffet. Or maybe her name actually was Miss Muffet, they just had her sitting on a tuffet because THAT rhymed with her name. Also, what the hell is a tuffet? The reason I am even thinking about this is because a spider propelled itself on it's web down to the floor beside my foot. I was not sitting on a tuffet, unless a tuffet is a toilet.
