Pauline held a small dinner party, and somehow managed to fit me on the guest list. I love a good home-cooked tagine. 🥰

Got called in last minute on Friday for an art museum assist by @pauline. It was my third visit to the Ruth Asawa exhibit at the SF Museum of Modern Art, and I still found myself enthralled for hours by the artist’s mastery of space and vision.

I finished the core Ancillary Noun trilogy of Anne Leckie’s Imperial Radch series. I couldn’t get enough of the space opera coziness, and immediately dipped into Translation State, another novel set in the same universe.

Translation State was a delightful read: the stakes are simultaneously personal and galaxy-spanning; the core dilemma is a body horror that evokes aspects of puberty and transition. Cannibalistic kindergartners, biological essentialism, and serialized television drama, oh my.

I feel slightly dumber for having read this.

In no way is she a good dog, but I still love her visits.

@bassrock kinda??

I have a birthday visitor today!!

Had a nice art day yesterday with some queers at the SF Museum of Modern Art.

#pocket used to have its office in San Francisco on Sansome St., near the Montgomery Street BART station. It evaporated during Covid like so many good things.

#pocket 2022. I took this photo at the end of Mozilla All-Hands. I’d never been the Hawaii before, and the long walks on the beach with coworkers and friends felt practically surreal.

#pocket 2016. I took this photo at my first team week. As a daily user, joining Pocket was a dream for me. I’d always wanted to work on something I actually used, and the product sat at that intersection of web client and news utility that I was already extremely invested in.

@jlin I’m sad to share it!!
