I’ve been on a webinar breastfeeding a 10 week old, ran an all hands with a four year old literally climbing my shoulders, shipped code with a baby in a carrier, podcasted w a quiet 9 year old in the corner, approve PRs while doing the sleep lady shuffle (iykyk), skill issue.

An advantage of the humanities — of reading & seeing a wide range of great works from many perspectives & cultures — is that you develop your sense of taste.

In a world where anyone can produce a flood of writing & visual output is for cheap, that has never been more important.

@clairevo It really is the best for newborns. Everything you said, plus it’s easy to drop that baby down to nurse if needed. 10/10

1/ When we started Proscia, we thought everyone had it wrong: Pathology didn’t just need to move from microscope to monitor.

‘It might have looked as though we were now surrounded on three sides by fires, but it didn’t feel like that. Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica were far away. The worry, however, was that the Altadena fire would spread.’

It’s been a stressful day and my anxiety is out of control. I think I’ll watch an episode of FX’s hit show The Bear to relax

Seems like an apt time for a repost

I say this as an Italian: regardless of whether you want to be a parent, children are people who belong in restaurants and cafes and libraries, and wanting them out of all public spaces has become far too disturbingly normalised in the Anglosphere.

@TaraBannow @statnews Thank you for speaking out about this. I hadn't fully grasped the difficulty of pumping until experiencing it myself. There are so many things wrong with the bathroom stall, including major health concerns if you're trying to save the milk to feed baby. This needs to change.

[Tara Bannow @TaraBannow]

Welp, here’s a story I didn’t expect to write this week: How I ended up pumping milk in a bathroom stall at #JPM24 ⁦@statnews⁩ https://t.co/KXpreOIaXd

One of the many passages of Hilary Mantel that will never leave. ‘All houses are haunted.’ RIP.

if my team hates me for anything it's for constantly pushing for more and more documentation. every job in tech is going to need strong writers as distributed workforce grows.

I devoured this. I heard Fran Lebowitz say, “A book is the closest thing to a human being.” This is the kind of book she’s talking about. Knot ❤️

@thehighsign, thank you for endorsing @audmapp on a recent @SlateCultFest episode! Was on the fence about checking it out; your endorsement sent me over and I’ll never look back. Finally getting to all the longreads on my list! They should pay you 😉

@nathanheller @NewYorker I didn’t think it was possible to laugh out loud reading a piece about outsourcing menial tasks, but you made that happen! Just what I needed this morning—thank you.
