Had the opportunity to visit Portland for a @codetv.dev Web Dev Challenge episode. It was such a blast hanging out with other devs, nerding out, and building (or attempting to build, HA) an app. Season 2 of Web Dev Challenge drops in April!

Was able to get approval to switch my project repos from Azure to BitBucket and holy moly, configuring my pipelines and everything else is SO MUCH EASIER than it was on Azure. I spent minutes setting things up in BitBucket compared to hours in Azure.

This year, I've surrounded myself with strong, talented, and amazing women, both personally and professionally. It's done wonders for my mental health and I've never felt so supported. If you're in my circle, thank you for all that you do. ๐Ÿ˜˜

Sometimes I stress out over the few console warnings I haven't gotten around to fixing yet. When this happens, I inspect the console on almost any large company's web app and I don't feel bad anymore. ๐Ÿฅฒ

Me: mentions my knee is hurting randomly My 8yo: "When my knee hurt randomly last week I ended up sick the next day. You'll probably be sick by tomorrow night." 3 hrs later. I'm sick. ๐Ÿซ  Since when is knee pain the first symptom of getting sick?!

I need to post about this somewhere. I'm not ok right now as much as I try to act like I am. It's 3am and I don't want to go to sleep. I'm so exhausted mentally but honestly my dreams are so vivid and I don't want to go to dreamworld right now.

I told my SO about skeeting a couple weeks ago and then today dropped a "I skeeted [whatever it was]" and this other person reskeeted me, and his response was... "So skeeting stuck?" Yes, yes it did

I love it here even if I feel like I'm shouting into the void. The fact that people can be themselves and be free is sooooo awesome. It's a safe space so far here and I hope it stays that way bc it's obvious people can show their true selves here and be proud. Which is how it should be.

Being a parent means giving up things you like or want to do so you can instead invest in your kid. If you're wealthy it's probably much easier but I'm not so I can't relate on that front. What I do know is my kids are extremely caring & if that's what I contribute to the world it's worth it.

I've gotten to the point in my life where if I'm not respected as a person, I'm not putting up with it. It's been extremely difficult but also very liberating. I don't lie. I treat others the way I want to be treated. I'm done with anyone who doesn't treat me the same.

As a Texan mom, I have so many feelings about guns. Don't like them. But I also live in TX , where women's rights are diminishing by the day & licenses aren't required to carry. Just bc I don't like guns doesn't mean I shouldn't know how to use one. I look slightly psychotic in this pic though.

I hate that I live somewhere where I always have to be on alert. But if I'm here I'm going to learn how to use the deadly tool that is legal (but abortions aren't?) and while I don't ever want to use it outside of a shooting range, at least I know how to work one.

Allen shooting happened 20 miles from me. Last month a hs student was shot & died by another in the town 2 min from my house (wasn't heavily broadcasted on the news). The family who was killed bc they asked a guy SHOOTING IN HIS FRONT YARD to stop bc their baby was sleeping. Uvalde.

Also I find it highly ironic that abortions aren't legal in Texas unless a woman's life is in danger (if doctors determine that), but an 18 year old can go buy any gun and CCLs aren't required.

My best friend always supports me and lifts me up, no matter what. She's a ray of sunshine when my life is full of storms and I'm so lucky to have her in my life. Love you, Nadia! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š

I get to talk to 3rd - 5th graders about what I do for a living on Friday and I am highly excited to show them fun CSS animations. I'll talk about other stuff but CSS animations are just so fun!

Behind behind schedule is stressful. Trying to focus while behind schedule then getting interrupted by tantrums is even more stressful. And this is why I usually end up working late at night.

But I have now been forced to move karaoking to the bedroom bc my 8yo is done and I was interrupting the show on my 5yos tablet. So now I will sing all the songs by myself and don't have to worry about sharing the mics which is GREAT.

I just karaoke AFI and Thrice with my 8yo after introducing her to the bands a couple of weeks ago. Yessssss. I was obsessed with AFI growing up so I am very pleased with this haha
