I have this weird, horrible, learned calculus about approving my hundreds of waiting LimkedIn requests. Do I know them? Did they send me a note? Have
I met them? Are they somewhere people want queer people dead? I’m sorry. It’s so hard to know who to trust anymore.
@hacks4pancakes Why use the business version of Xitter at all?

Browsing linkedin always gives me a very weird vibe that reminds me that some people exist in a completely different, separate reality that is nevertheless normal to them.

It's a good reminder that normal is relative.

@hacks4pancakes I find that most of them are headhunters trying to gain access to my network. No thank you.
@hacks4pancakes I usually don't approve unless I know the person already
@hacks4pancakes I do a lot of presentations and training sessions for work. Feels mean not to accept conn requests from the audience. But then I end up with a lot of connections I dealt with just once years ago.
If only there was an expiration date for connections. Also I don’t really know them even when I accepted the request. I can’t decide if it matters.
@hacks4pancakes I have to log into LI in the next few days and I’m kind of dreading it. Sending a note to someone is a good bar.
@hacks4pancakes "Did we actually work together?", "Are you a student or someone I met in the community?", and "Do I want something from you?" with a drop of "What do you want from me?"
@hacks4pancakes "Oh we have many connections in common...do those connections only accept invites from people they know, or do they accept all invites from anyone?"
@hacks4pancakes I promise that if I ever sign back into there and send a connection request that I'll say that we've never actually met but I've parasocially followed you on here for years.
