@tinyroofnail Love seeing this!
@ReaderJohn My assumption is that there were advance copies distributed to various press outlets and critics.
@PaulDeFazio LOVE these
@JimRain Seconded. So good.
@bethanyh So cool! I bet satisfying.
@JohnBrady I’ll wave to you through space-time on my next walk/run!
@patrickrhone Thank you! We’ve enjoyed the walks there for years while living across town, but now it’s five minutes from our door. Grateful.
@natematias HUGE congrats, Nate!! Much deserved, and how fun that Cambridge will welcome you back.
@isaacgreene Were you very much in the minority?
@JohnBrady ?? That takes my already low curiosity about it even lower.
@ayjay hello cutie!
@ayjay Yes same, at least for latter half of the decade I was on there. But from my second hand observations of what’s happening at Bluesky, seems like it got even worse?!
@johnchandler Very excited for you all! Big fan of engineering studies in SLAC context. Best wishes.
@bethanyh And to be clear: in lots of situations I was not calm enough, ha. We do what we can!
@bethanyh Yes! And an open question could sometimes invite more contestation, I found. For our kids, the calm management of the situation — try that again, which is not optional but also, I know you can do it! — helped keep it very clear and quick.
@joshuapsteele I bet you’re doing great. Go easy on yourself! We also have three close together, and it got so much easier as they got older.
@natematias Congrats, Nate!!
@patrickrhone forthcoming!
@joshuapsteele Interesting! Hadn’t seen those. Nice to have some quick reminders around, I can imagine. On manners, one really powerful thing for us, learned from my SIL, was to use “try that again” when correcting behavior. Looking in the eyes, polite requests, negotiating conflict and sassiness can be re-directed more drama-free with that phrase, we found. They get a chance to revise without just following a directive; you stay more in tune rather than adversarial; it’s more lightweight, nipping in the bud, than ramped up straight to consequences. Also, with neutral tone in the middle of a negotiation: “Take the whine out of your voice.” lol
@chriskrycho Yes — muzakification in the extreme. It’s amazing how little thought people put into that choice, given how ample the choices are.
@bethanyh Wonderful to hear of this expertise! This will be a slow unfolding for the next several years, really. May reach out to you. Thanks for the vote of confidence!
@jabel So beautiful. Thanks.
@jaheppler Beautiful!
