I got told again by a friend on this trip I should get my masters in social work. And I've been told that so many times by now I'm like should I? I've always used the cost and unpaid internships as an excuse but maybe I'll see what options exist. #TXTrip2026
It is clear that many cis people are not aware just how up to her neck Rowling is in funding and driving anti trans sentiment in the UK.
She's not just a person with a vile opinion.
Like we CAN try to stay more connected and life just happens sometimes. So when people DO show up it warms my heart.
Bonus reflection: I think I'm a wanderer at heart. But also a stay at home guy. It's very odd. I both want to travel and be settled/lazy at times too. #TXTrip2026
My trip log reflections in the morning before lunch with more people I know is that A) I always want to spend more time with people and the reality is that won't ever happen and B) I think I'm starting to become more okay with that. It's the travesty of being connected as humans. #TXTrip2926
The waymos are everywhere. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ #TXTrip2026
I've been using my birthday the last two years as an excuse to visit Austin... And it happens the same time as Austin Kink Weekend. At this point if I come next year might as well also get tickets for that too lolol.

God I love coffee shops. And kick butt coffee. Always near and dear to my heart. #TXTrip2026
Dreamt about work and drama last night and I'm not sure this is the energy I want to bring into a new year of life. This conference has been fun and I'm ready to leave it all behind and be in proper vacay too.
My mouth about to get me in trouble if it hasn't already. And that's why you shouldn't drink with coworkers. Lmfao. #TXTrip2026
With that said I have an idea for a presentation I almost did this year but think I'd really like to try next year, if I'm still in these circles (or not). #TXTrip2026
Going to this conference year after year and it's funny how so much has transformed and how much has not. I can't help but feel like I should be in a more leadership role in this space and I'm not really. And sometimes I want to just leave it all. #TXTrip2026
It's such a gorgeous stadium ngl
Someone in front of me was using ChatGTP to craft a message after we quite literally got a worksheet to do that and I'm judging them. #txtrip2026
Fun fact: I'm definitely signed up for rewards somewhere but not enough to care for wifi on this flight. Which doesn't matter except I can't listen to my audiobook now. #txtrip2026
Big? Or be. Whatever. #TXTrip2026
What should the hashtag big? #TXTrip2026? Regardless the southwest folks had to literally make an announcement that people need to look at seat numbers now to find your seat. Which means someone was struggling. 💀💀💀
My flight back to Pittsburgh gets in the evening the draft starts. Over under on my ride share home being $100+?!?!
Anyways I'm Texas bound today. Reminder that you don't have to use the facial technology at airports and to wear a mask!

He posed! He usually looks away when I try to take his picture.

Are they?!??

I bring this up often at work when we discuss training and getting folks to know our curriculum and approach. I'm always like "Cool and when do we teach folks how to use technology and systems?" And I'm always surprised that that's like a surprise thought to folks.
Just a reminder the IRS website has line 8 different free tax resources if you make less than like 80k. I refused to pay H&R Block or TurboTax this year.
Shout out to the little kid on the bus who's just eating away at a raw block of ramen rn.

Three cheers for science, engineering, research, curiosity, cooperation.
Look what the fuck we can do when we ask big questions, work together, and fund our scientists.
Congratulations, NASA. Congratulations, humanity!
Just racking up space W's today.
