stop telling trans people "I'm using dude, bro, guys, sis, etc. In a gender neutral way"
Start saying: "What terms feel comfortable for you? How would you like me to refer to you or groups that you are in?"
And this is for specific trans people you are close with, don't necessarily do this with random people.
In general stop giving disclaimers for your actions that you know hurt trans people. Just don't do them instead

My company recently added me to the interview team to conduct technical interviews for potential developers.
So far, I've only done regular interviews, but today, I did an interview that involved a live coding challenge.
I hated doing it. I'm sitting here, watching him code. He's nervous, because it's a job interview. And I just want to help him out, but this is not a pair programming exercise; it's to see how he solves the problem I've given him.
I see him making mistakes and I want to be like, "Hey, you missed X in that SQL statement", but I've got to let him sweat it out and make these mistakes, and debug his own code.
It's awful.

If you rush headlong toward the future, you may despair when your path veers away, even for a short time, from your goals. Be patient. It takes time for you to become who you will be.
I thought #CastawayDiva was going to be a cute, funny #KDrama.
I did not expect it to be so heart-wrenching, especially in just the first episode.

'Tis better to have loved and lost, than to be slowly eaten while still alive. There are, on the whole, many things worse than having loved and lost.

I was watching #StarTrek #VoyageHome yesterday, and got a new theory.
If the events of Voyage Home had never happened, there never would've been Cetacean Ops in 24th century starships.
My theory goes that when George and Gracie were brought to the 23rd century and saved Earth from the whale probe, humans realized that cetaceans were more intelligent than we'd previously thought.
Maybe Uhura and Dr. Taylor worked together to get the universal translator to work on whale and dolphin languages, and because of Scotty's clever modifications to the Klingon Bird of Prey they'd borrowed, they were able to start fitting Federation ships with similar tanks so that cetaceans could start joining Starfleet and serving on starships.
Without those events, Leiutenants Kimolu and Matt never would've gotten the opportunity to serve aboard the Cerritos. #LowerDecks
STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE Showrunner Details William Shatner's Scrapped Return As Villainous Captain Kirk
Apparently Shatner's ego spared us from an awful planned plotline with Mirror Kirk stuck in the Phantom Zone escaping and battling Prime Archer.

I took a little video game break with my kids in the middle of the day, instead of a lunch break.
We don’t have a modern system, but ToeJam and Earl (Sega Genesis) on RetroArch is great, and my sons really enjoyed it.

There are six different QR codes in the church program today.
At this point, they should just have one QR code at the entrance to the chapel which links to a PDF of the program, which should have regular links.
My three-year-old had a meltdown when I put Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the TV, when she actually wanted to watch Mickey Mouse Funhouse.
How dare I commit such a grievous faux pas.
When you have a mustache, blowing your nose is messy business.
Name your favorites from #StarTrek:
- Uniform: Lower Decks
- Spock: Nimoy, starting with Voyage Home. After his rebirth, Spock gained a lot of emotional intelligence that he didn't have before, and Leonard did a great job of incorporating that growth into the character.
- Couple: Worf and K'Ehleyer
- Character: Data
- Starship: Enterprise-E
- Villain: Kahn
- Series: #TNG
- Captain: Picard
- Movie: First Contact
I told my three-year-old, "It's time to take a bath!"
She replied, "No, Daddy. That's not a thing."

If in a few days you stop seeing any news from Israel criticizing the government, know that this is because the government is now pushing regulations to heavily punish anyone who dares criticize the government online or in the media.
