tl;dr -- my neighbor doesn't know her adult child has special needs (or at least, not their extent and how to help him) and resents him for his struggles. My blood is boiling for his sake. Thanks for reading my rant. #ASD #AutismAwareness #patience #differentNotWrong

Story time! So next door to us lives a retired couple. Their son, who we've met, does lawn work. IINAD, but as a person on the spectrum and a former caregiver, I feel very comfortable saying that this man has one or more developmental disabilities. That said ...

If you'd paid an ounce of damn attention to your kid in the last 40 years, you'd understand that there are implied rules he is not aware of, and explicit rules that you might think cover all situations ("be nice","ask about other people") that actually have exceptions.

@sushidouchey When you realize you were #hellaGay the whole time ... Love you, dear!

@sushidouchey There's very little you can't learn how to do on YouTube. It's the best.

I believe we should eliminate President’s Day as a holiday and make Election Day a national holiday in its place.

I can think of no better way to honor our Founding Fathers than to make it easier to participate in the democracy they founded.

I'd love to livetweet the random conversations I overhear in public. But that would mean going out... in public. I hear there's a sadly low concentration of cats there. #NoPants #noPeople #cats

It is very hard to explain npm's place in the ecosystem to VCs.
"So what percentage of the fortune 500 use npm?"
"100%"
"Ha ha, but really"
"No, really."
"What industries are you focused in?"
"Every company that has a website."
"Isn't that every company?"
"Yes."

It won't take long either. Push through the challenge, the awkward, the more-questions-than-answers phase, and soon it will be as automatic as driving. #learntocode #WomenInTech #dontgiveup https://t.co/zwqxc0H3uM

For those just learning to code now- remember when you were learning to drive? You had to think about everything constantly- but eventually the car became an extension of yourself. That's how it will be. You will eventually have muscle memory built into many tasks. Stick with it.

@thatsojordan Ew! I'm sorry you had to deal with that. If you have/want to talk to someone in public, mentioning their physical attractiveness anymore directly than "I love your makeup/earrings/shoes" is a fuck no.

Dear white parents:

You know that terrifying active shooter conversation you have to have with your kids that makes you feel outraged at how unsafe our country has become?

Every black parent in America has to have that talk with their kids about COPS.

If one more doctor or pharmacy asks me, a 22 year old web developer with no landline and a barely-sometimes working scanner/printer (haven't needed it since college) to fax them something, I'm going to lose my shit. It's 2018. NO ONE OWNS A FAX MACHINE!!
