Life is just:
Me: Between calls, walking around the house singing random lines from the middle of songs. Out of tune. Loudly.
Him: Kelly, I'm going on a call in a sec (polite, stfu)
5 days a week.

PSA: If you’re visibly, and actively working on your vacation, I’m actively judging you.

Especially, if you’re a leader - log off and set the right example for the rest of your team. Boundaries in this digital world are already hard enough, don’t make them harder.

@liznlbee With the audacity to include a Calendly link so I can 'find a slot that suits me'

@KianpourWorld Healing power of sport when England have booed every team's National anthem? Our fans could learn a thing or two about compassion from their team's opponents in the game.

And there you have it, folks. 2500+ participants over 4 years. Those are decent, longitudinal stats for a baseline study and we need to see this replicated elsewhere.

Therapy in my 30's has been a huge turning point in my life. It really feels like I'm unlocking my own boss level baddie against loads of stuff I didn't even know I *could* beat. Ya know?

Read this whole thread. Then read it again. Investing in your research team is investing in the success of your product. It's really that simple.

[Josh Elman @joshelman]

There is a lot of chatter about when a startup should create a “growth team.” But I am recently hearing of a much better and even more important trend of startups starting a research team or a much better name coined by @abrashafi of @irldotcom, a

“Curiosity team”

[Josh Elman @joshelman]

Anyway - build a curiosity team and hire some researchers!

[Josh Elman @joshelman]

Build a product team that gives your product researcher equal weight to PM, design, and engineering in prioritization, feature reviews, and roadmap planning. You will do better to build things in the words of your customers and meet them where they are.

@bantalols We know it's for cooking, you can't fool us.

@bantalols Don't be so hard on yourself, James. 42 isn't middle-aged.

@trans_icon_mika I just listened to this episode of @mysteriousuniv which discusses the concept of 'aliens' being time-travellers, coming back into our present day, human timeline to warn us of things to come and alert us to our previous mistakes. https://t.co/4Le4mFmmwN

[Kelly Silver @_silvermine]

@trans_icon_mika I think about this a lot, and the concept that statistics are/is a human creation and therefore may not be applicable to any probability or likelihood of life on other planets.

I cannot recommend this training enough. Incredible organization sharing guidance on how to help a victim of street harassment and how such skills are very transferrable.

FREE, fully-funded (by L'Oreal Paris) training by a very engaging facilitator Julie.

If you think directly approaching a harasser is the only way to keep a victim safe, you're wrong. TAKE THIS CLASS.
