    It’s very handy how, if I accidentally leave my DMs open for a few days, guys like this pop up to remind me why I generally keep that shit locked down. https://t.co/EJnFoGLseC


    @allymcleangames @The_McJones Ooh, @IngaPflaumer once made a game that was KNITTED and I ❤️ it.


    @ButenkoMe Awesome! Meet some lovely folks: @TheMartianLife @parisba @desplesda @Japh @The_McJones @iamcraigclark @kcidau. @MusesCodeJS is a fantastic endeavor and I recommend it as both attendee and mentor!


    @captainklein Well, that’s why I turned it on – I’ve had lots of folks reach out about an open role on my team, which is great. I just resent that there is no online or physical space that someone, somewhere won’t think is suitable for hitting on women. It’s just tiresome, right?


    @captainklein I usually just go with “This is not what Twitter is for.” Maybe I should write a bot for it! Some sort of AI-driven chatbot to take over my DMs for creepers and keep them busy, thus saving the rest of the women on the Internet from being hassled. 😂


    @captainklein There you go. Sydney Summit demo for next year, locked in! 😜


    Best, best, BEST part of manager job is seeing folks set a tough goal and then achieve it. 😉 Way to go, @kezmc… 👏🙌


    The fact that I called this Gossip Girl plot twist based on my knowledge of Graham Greene novels makes four years of liberal arts education and $50K of debt all worth it. https://t.co/YtP05DqYjK


    @frankarr @paulangov @Twitter @markc @mattallen @johnbarton True story – though I joined Twitter before, my real inflection point with it was the Sydney blackout of March 30, 2009. 😂 https://t.co/pS3fQ3fvHc

    For the record, March 2007. @frankarr beat me by three months. (Story of my life!) 😜 https://t.co/mEV2OJN2uc

    @minxdragon @holdenkarau The person I met was the amazing @lindaliukas from @hellorubyworld. She famously used Kickstarter for hers! https://t.co/GXR5W9urpG


    RT @bentev28: How do you keep bigots off social media?

    FACEBOOK: Wow, it’s tough but we’re trying! ❤️👍
    TWITTER: What is “bigotry”, really?…

    We’ve been together for 18 years and married for 15, and there are still two things the Snook doesn’t trust me with: his root password, and packing the dishwasher correctly. 😂


    @Orthanc Never bothered to ask.


    @boundvariable That’s how I do it. But apparently it “jams” the “spinny arm thing” and “totally buggers it up”. 🤷‍♀️


    @aileengemma So glad you did!


    Look at this handsome devil. 😽 https://t.co/N6eSevsa6L https://t.co/pPVbRhxoUP


    Power just went out in Chippendale. Anybody else??

    @aileengemma Omg that would be amazing to visit. I’d probably cry the whole time. I ❤️ the early days of space exploration.


    @kouky @canva Wow – congrats Kouky! End of an era.


    @lynnlangit Is this a book? I want this book.


    @LapTop006 LOL. I just sent that to the Snook in disappointment that we already have dinner plans upon which he revealed he was at the Quarrymans with you last week. 😂


    @The_McJones @Procreate The way Twitter cropped that made me wonder why you were animating the female symbol.

    Can someone who knows more about typography tell me why I viscerally dislike the “SWEET F.A.” text so much? Is it the kerning? I just know I hate it. @themaninblue @diversionary @poppiepack https://t.co/mrQADOUaXq

    I feel entirely justified in my hatred of that text. Thanks, Internet! ❤️


    Men, a bit of advice: when you reach out to a woman on LinkedIn about a job, don’t immediately follow her on every social platform. She’s gonna find that slightly creepy.
