I am tired of dystopian, vigilante justice, physical violence-for-good narratives. Where are the optimistic, diplomacy promoting, and emotionally mature storylines, Hollywood?

I want Captain Planet for adults. #solarpunk

My Nintendo Switch died overnight and I am very sad about the impact to my Animal Crossing: New Horizon construction schedule.

Hoping the cloud backup happened before the crash and that the repair people are fast. 😩

TIL about solarpunk and I like it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solarpunk

🇸🇪 Svenskar: I am seeking a lawyer specializing in legal name changes. Do you know of one?

Lavender.
Maroon.

Dropbox’s design system is a katamari of awful decisions.

A year ago, I hit the button to #DeleteFacebook.

Here are some reflections on this good decision.

Thank you President Biden for *finally* getting the US out of Afghanistan.

Democrats still cleaning up after President GWB…

Listening to Savage Garden made me want to find the origin of the “chic-a-cherry cola” in “I Want You”.

Someone in 2004 answered, “It's an artificial food product related to Chickity China (the Chinese chicken), but with less MSG.” 🤣

The line “I believe you can’t control or choose your sexuality” in Savage Garden’s “Affirmation” hit me so hard the first time I heard it I nearly cried. This was 4 years after the album was released, but I didn’t listen to "secular" music until I was 19.

I enjoyed a nice vacation instead of posting the other 9 reasons to #DeleteFacebook.

#DeleteFacebook part 5: optimized for shitty behavior

I did not realize this inevitability until having time and distance to reflect. So much opportunity, brand equity, and talent wasted by well-intentioned, but unskilled executive leadership. InVision was so close to greatness and just hurts to think about what could have been.

I left InVision 3 weeks ago.

I learned how to collaborate asynchronously.

I worked with incredible people.

But all I can think about now are the lessons from how a scale-up raised $350M, achieved $100M ARR, and failed. (Failed meaning no path to successful exit in this case.)

#DeleteFacebook part 4: responsibility for unintended consequences

#DeleteFacebook part 3: Facebook protects borderline hate speech more than the recipients of the hate.

“data” but pronounced like “ta-da!” ✨

#DeleteFacebook part 2: #DefundFacebook

A year ago, I started a personal campaign to #DeleteFacebook. I explained my reasoning hoping others might join me.

I will share a Facebook-free year retrospective in September.
