I really don’t want to impose a new PM tool on anyone but I feel that there is a need to have threaded conversations stay visible for reference, even after a task or idea is closed, because potential spec drift is the only thing you can always rely on.

It’s really weird how people react to different media: I’m fine talking through email and chat, but getting Dropbox or Trello comment notifications fills me with anxiety.

I’m not sure why? Maybe because they are often disconnected from context of past conversations/requests?

I kinda wish there was a way to post on instance level only. But I guess that would open up mastodon to hinky, unmanageable communities.

For mastodon.social users:

Dogpiling and harassment are off-limits no matter how justified you think you are. The rules are for everyone.

Strongly considering adding screenshot-dunking to the code of conduct as well. We don't need that culture here.

So flesh eating wasps that can fly with weight is now a thing. Annnnnd I’m never leaving the flat.

Drinking coffee and this song pops into my head

"Ah the second summer of love is here so tell your angry friends

To throw away their Gaultier and grow their hair again.

Acid on the radio
Acid on the rain...
Acid in the calico
Acid in the rain."

Obviously, if the weakness is getting drunk and attacking people with broken bottles... may need to see someone about that, but you know what I mean.

It's funny how narratives can make you feel like something is a weakness when it's really a strength.

Example: I tend to be a little bit of a cultural outsider in most environments. I just am.

Except this means my social group is very diverse across education, finance, experiences, cultures etc. Which is *good* in my job.

Don't buy into common narratives. Find how your "weakness" is your secret superpower.

Honest bio:
"[my name] makes clicky clicky and tappy tappy and ready ready a lot, for long time. She makes wipey wipey around the house for burb and hubs." <--I would talk to this person, but.. dunno about others

You know what I really, really suck at? Writing intros about me. Or introducing myself in general.
Mostly cos I see myself as a collection of thoughts that are ever evolving as I learn and experience new things.

@Gargron hi there. I was wondering, if it's not to forward of me, what is the process for a product designer to help with the mastodon project? xx

I'm supposed to believe that designers don't throw a new brand name into google and notice a company with the same name and similar logo (if using outline?). Come on.

I refuse to download any app that thinks adding a pie chart to something is adding value.
