Friends and I have been planning an upcoming get together for over a year now. Slowly but steadily, all the other child free folks have backed out. Not that kids can’t be fun, but spending a long weekend centered around the needs of 7 small children is not what I signed up for. We may be doing our own thing considerably more than originally planned.

@grammargirl Yep. My coworkers are always shocked when I explain that we need to simplify some public content because of this.
@paulmcaleer Yeah the reaction this week among my design teams was pretty universally, “Oh good, they won’t be able to kill it like they’ve done to every other design tool they ever acquired.”

Augie Ray“Do I really need to wear a mask forever in a hospital or doctor's office?!?” is the new...
“Do I really have to wear a seatbelt for every car trip, no matter how short?”
or
“Do I really have to stop smoking in my own office at work?!?”

“Do I really have to stop drinking the water from the Broad Street pump?”
No one ever welcomes new rules and practices that keep us safe. They always reject them--until they stop and adopt the sensible rules. #COVID19
BrianKrebsRecent weeks have seen a sizable uptick in the number of phishing scams targeting U.S. Postal Service (USPS) customers. Here’s a look at an extensive SMS phishing operation that tries to steal personal and financial data by spoofing the USPS, as well as postal services in at least a dozen other countries.
I like to show my work, and went pretty far down the rabbit hole with this one:

If you’re doing US-based events for women in tech, especially if your events are NB and trans-inclusive, you need to be paying a whole lot more attention to security than most events do. Get some paranoid infosec women and a real physical security presence. Safety planning right now should make everyone sweat. And don’t do events in states where your attendees are exposed to legal and medical harm. 🤦🏻
