  7. …in reply to @anildash
    @anildash I once attended a forum where my HS principal wanted to switch to digital bathroom passes with a 5m time limit (ableist, mental health, transphobic, etc nightmare). Someone asked what inspired the switch—the vendor emailed him. Don’t underestimate “complete lack of thought” 😵
  8. racism at work in my high school: 3% of students are black (yes), and 20% of suspensions are black students. minority students are more than twice as likely to be suspended.

  14. Registering my gap semester/year(?) this week. NYU is asking $80k for remote classes, or to live in NYC with mostly-remote classes for even more. I’ll pass. @davidu/1280240370454900736
  15. 🚀 In 13 hours, I’ve made an all-new, post-COVID homepage for @hackclub, just in time for our @elonmusk AMA this afternoon. I’m so thrilled with this. hackclub.com
  16. Convinced pomodoro has never worked for anybody but they recommend it because they wish it did
  17. Tip: put an AirTag in your checked luggage. As you get on & off connecting flights, you can check if your bag will come with you or not—it’s either “With You” or shows the terminal.
