for any startups out there, @firstround has excellent content and if it's any indication of their investing abilities, definitely worth putting on your list. 🙌🏽

@justinecodes hahah so true it hurts

@hijessiemay a super pretty journal for when things get too much... tea for a quiet moment, books on pregnancy and after birth (my friend wishes she made time to know what it would be like beforehand)...

I've been thinking about this lately. I believe in accountability. I believe in taking responsibility for our actions. At times, accountability in a social justice context can feel like a witch hunt. What does accountability with compassion look like?

@heymosef Currently working on setting expectations and performance assessments for @whereby.

Best JDs outline 30, 60, 90 day expectations +, how that connects with obj. and ties back to impact

Emphasize necessary traits, like willingness to work with uncertainty

Stop saying it’s a “dark chapter” in Canada’s history.

Genocide is the main fucking plot in Canada’s history.

And it continues today.

@Superhuman love the marketing emails you send out, so useful, I forward them to my team constantly. They question whether I'm secretly a Superhuman ambassador.
Great product 🙌🏽

@NYGH_News vaccine appointment time 3:30, got the shot by 3:29. Really well organized. Thank you for all your hard work #itsourbestshot

[Jesse David @jesselizdavid]

@EmmEmmTeee @hijessiemay @whereby Yes exactly, of course the lines become fuzzy the higher up you go but making it clear that there are options outside of people management can be really helpful for helping people map career options, I know this is especially true for devs

[Jesse David @jesselizdavid]

@EmmEmmTeee @hijessiemay @whereby Hey Melissa! Expert focuses on function specific knowledge whereas entrepreneur focuses more on process, project management and ideas. For example a tech lead could fall under the latter as someone who ensures an outcome from e2e

@laurenxrab 110% Aging is a gift and blessing and women most of are somehow made to feel less than for aging

[Jesse David @jesselizdavid]

@SchneiderKJ I will take the opportunity here to plug @whereby. We have a comp matrix, don't negotiate because we come with an offer that we think is fair, and we're fully remote!

@hijessiemay I had assumed that it was a deeply personal act, but some people just really liked tattoos and some seemed to have a bit of an addiction to it and generally liked the look. Age didn't seem to play much of a factor and a lot of older people were happy with their tats

[Jesse David @jesselizdavid]

@hijessiemay Oh wow, how come? I did quite an extended project in high school around people's relationship to tattoos so curious to hear why you feel this way now

[Jesse David @jesselizdavid]

This panny has been A LOT. I'm lucky & grateful for health and remote work but it's been tough

But wow, the failure on part of @fordnation are paramount Poor vaccine roll out plans, complete lack of #PaidSickDays for frontline workers, seriously disappointing. #onpoli

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

NEW: Ontario's Health Minister suggests paid sick leave will be implemented by the Ford government one-year into the pandemic.

"We are considering alternatives now" to fill in the gaps of the federal Canada Sickness Recovery Benefit.
