Being a kid: forced to go to bed
Being an adult: freedom
Being in a relationship: "are you coming to bed soon?"
Bedtime was never deprecated. It was just waiting for a new maintainer.

thank you for the compliment - I'll frame it ❤️
I would love to give a talk titled: "how to succeed as an impostor in open source"
I feel I've been the recipient of a lot of privilege, kindness and grace from others, not just in the open source world but from my family too.

Walled gardens keep you in. We'd rather you wander, and come back because you want to.

I am really thankful for Atproto, even though a year ago I had my doubts.
Thanks to @quillmatiq.com and @thisismissem.social, they've shown me that ActivityPub and Atproto are not competitors, quite the opposite, and we're all in this together.
Together we can. Together we will. #socialWeb
