    Useful article of things you can do if you feel powerless and depressed about this situation. I can’t attend a protest, but I can donate (just gave to ActBlue in addition to monthly ACLU donation) and contact my representatives. I suggest you do the same.


    When three Americans get together for lunch… (Turns out political outage partners well with chicken & waffles!)


    Found myself drawn to the political quilts today – celebrating marriage equality, women’s rights, the environment. (Some nudity!) @ Sydney Craft and Quilting Fair


    I also loved some of the modern designs, and COLOUR! @ Sydney Craft and Quilting Fair


    “Just letting you know the concert hall is a little cooler than normal, at the artist’s request.” Patti Lupone, you amazing DIVA!


    Closing out the first act with “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”? BALLER MOVE PATTI. (PS I totally cried.) 👏👏👏👏


    Patti Lupone was AMAZING. I had a smile on my face the whole time. “That’s Trouble with a T that rhymes with P and it stands for PATTI!” 😂🙌

    Fourth attempt at porting my number from @Internode. 😡


    @tobyhede How so?


    RT @cmclymer: I made my own jacket. 💅🏼

    @Internode Called Wednesday and acct number they gave me was wrong. Called up again 20 min ago, was told it would be 8-10 minutes on hold, provided my number… and no call yet.


    @Internode Oh, and called yesterday too. This is very frustrating.


    @Internode DM me if you’d like more info!


    @Internode Support finally rang me back. Turns out number I was given on Wednesday was missing a digit. Trying for 5th time…


    Thanks to Patrick at @Telstra Store Broadway for excellent service – took us 90 minutes to get number to port from old carrier. 😳


    Spending the last afternoon of my staycation volunteering to make cold calls on behalf of the @NCSS Coding Challenge 2018 – because @nickyringland and @groklearning deserve all the support!


    YASSSSSS! The @QueerEye Yass minisode is on YouTube! (Antoni just put shiitake mushrooms on Vegemite toast. 😂) https://t.co/RX0nZBt69Q

    RT @phoebegoh: Read this thread but this did it for me. If you ever wonder why we get annoyed this is a huge factor https://t.co/CFOOKb9WX4


    @aurynn I was using an app called Cloze last year. Sort of a personal CRM. It can remind you to get in touch with people you haven’t contacted (across email, SM, etc) after a while.


    RT @jwwweber: There’s a major, serious problem with coding bootcamp grads who have prior professional experience. I want to hire them all,…


    @aurynn Tried both. I still have the free tier, and I occasionally use it when I know I have a message from someone but can’t remember where it was.


    @aurynn Only used the paid tier for the team features. Was trying it out for YOW, but it didn’t have the one thing I needed – ability to search on my notes on people. I need to type in “contempt culture” and get “aurynn” back.


    @aurynn Not that I’d ever forget you! 😉


    @aurynn That wasn’t actually why I was using it – was more for keeping track of all the people I was meeting for my job. I found the reminders semi-useful but didn’t go down the road of customising those out properly, categorising people, etc.

    YASSSSSS! The @QueerEye Yass minisode is on YouTube! Antoni just put shiitake mushrooms on Vegemite toast, Jonathan is literally kicking Australian toxic masculinity, and this lovely farmer has already cried twice. ❤️😂

    @MichelePlayfair Was more to do with the fact we were eating in his office. 😂


    @MichelePlayfair No, no lunch at the Amazons. They’re frugal. 😢


    @LukeSleeman @Taipei_GTUG Such a cute idea! Totally stealing that for my next talk overseas. Best of luck!!


    I should have listened to @evanderkoogh and @gabehollombe earlier. Async/await is the answer I’ve been searching for. It’s all coming together. https://t.co/e9oAPEPpxy


    @slace HA! 😂


    @mantaq10 Haha, nahh, I meant no disrespect to the Javascript. I am in awe of those who can wrangle. It’s just not the part I expected to have so much trouble with on this particular project!

    @emma_n_robbins @lucykbain @pyko Lucy and Pegs – Emma’s from Victoria and just did the program herself on Monday. 🙂

    Not everything is terrible. ❤️ Congrats to South Bend’s mayor and his husband on their lovely wedding!

    It’s rather telling that none of the problems I’m having building my serverless app are with AWS but rather with frickin’ Javascript. 😭🔫


    @MelissaKaulfuss I really should have.


    @MelissaKaulfuss I justified it as thinking I was more familiar with JS. Turns out JS has changed a LOT in recent years.

    Whoa, big crowd for AWS Night at @sydjs! https://t.co/EjIjXzAops


    @sydjs And no, I didn’t even make it one week before going to a meetup. 😂


    @coderkungfu @Meetup I had the same problem today. Had to switch to Firefox. I think the new one requires Flash?


    Met the lovely @gabehollombe in Singapore less than 3 weeks ago, and here he is at @sydjs! https://t.co/pkCRoX2UlR

    RT @theyareaboutyou: Making a big change is unpleasant – I know! But remember: what’s the worst that could happen? 💕


    “Everybody’s using VSCode tonight! Even our esteemed friends/competitors at Amazon!” 😂 @billba @sydjs https://t.co/XRWpwR2rwi


    @MichelePlayfair @gabehollombe @sydjs Don’t mock. This is your life now too. 😂


    @gilmae @randomknits I didn’t say it worked very well. 😜 @the_snook


    Featuring my amazing smart and gorgeous friend @hannahyanfield in your tweet as a way of getting me to retweet it? Works every time. 😍 https://t.co/s3sne0DGwV
