@Raylen_Faield @thedotnetdad @MTSTrades @MattWallace888 It's pretty well the norm for tech companies, so if you want top tech talent, catered lunch is basically a requirement.

Can’t believe I have to say this but giving profits to shareholders is not the same as bringing prices down for American families.

My sister was transferred to a prison work farm in VA, where she'll serve out her sentence.

It's one of the nicer prisons in the state. Still, she'll be required to labor 8 hrs/day for $0.45/hr.

telling someone they dont really “look like a game dev” is not a compliment.

it has a loaded meaning with stereotypes based on appearance and what a person’s roles and opportunities should be constrained to based on preconceived notions instead of a specific individual’s talent

This morning, my wife left Orlando, Florida aboard @SouthwestAir flight 1630 (MCO to PHX).

She sat behind this man. She had been attending the Grace Hopper Conference all week and was resting her head on her tray table, trying to sleep a bit.

Let me tell you what happened.

Ways to make enemies at work:
1. Be a snitch
2. Be a snitch
3. Be a snitch
4. Be a snitch
5. Be a snitch

That's it. That's my list.

Spent 3 hours waiting in line @Avis for a rental car at LAX... Be warned. #avis #lax #BadService

Whenever someone says "if you don't want to get pregnant, don't have sex", this just makes me feel really bad for person's sex life... If you're only having sex to make babies, you're doing it wrong.

Or a certain cousin wants to talk to me about "a really cool new technology" I know whatever tech he will talk about is at the "all hype" stage

[JoCee Holladay @joceeholladay]

Anyone else use certain people to gage when tech has become "overhyped"?

Like when my grandma asked me what a #Bitcoin was, I knew it was time to run the other way.

[Xyla Foxlin⚡ @XylaFoxlin]

Some asshat from NASA called me Joe’s “PR girl” at the rocket launch today, and I’ve spent the day trying to talk myself down from quitting rocketry forever.

I’m 25, I’ve been dealing with this shit for over a decade in STEM, and it STILL gets to me sometimes.

I hate going into the office in the summer. It's always FREEZING in the office to the point where I want to be wearing a coat (or two).. but outside it's so dang hot that I don't want to wear/carry a coat during my 30 minute walk to work.

Instead, ask for a volunteer. Don't VolunTOLD someone (especially one of the fewer woman) to do it.

[JoCee Holladay @joceeholladay]

I introduced myself to a small group of 5 people (3 men, 2 female) saying I really like to read and write in my free time!

And one of the men said "JoCee, since you like writing do you want to take notes for this meeting?"

😮‍💨

[JoCee Holladay @joceeholladay]

There are a few issues with this:
1. Writing is NOT the same as note taking. (One is a creative outlet, the other is a chore)
2. When there is a room of mostly men, why ask one of the women to take notes?

[JoCee Holladay @joceeholladay]

This is the initiative for women we need more of! @RepRoybalAllard please make this a priority to protect and support traveling mothers!

[Emily Calandrelli @TheSpaceGal]

Hi @RepRoybalAllard! You have already done so much for mothers and I’m hoping we can push for more change at the @TSA together!

I know the TSA will be defending their budget request before your subcommittee THIS Weds - can you raise this issue of traveling mothers w/ them?

[JoCee Holladay @joceeholladay]

Don't get me wrong, I think #blockchain is really interesting & the math behind #cryptography is really cool. However, I think #QuantumComputing will be a much bigger deal in the future, the math behind quantum is truly incredible (plus there is less hype and bros in quantum 😜)
