What surprised you about your Wrapped this year?

For me, I didn’t think my listening age would be THAT old 🤣 and I truly believed Don Toliver would be higher on my list of favorite artists. Dang sure didn’t think I’d be in the top .5% or Lil Baby fans 🙌🏾

Great question! So we actually did a mash up, playing a chunk of each of these songs: Luther Vandross - if this world were mine; Patti Laballe - if you only knew; and ending with Barry White - my first, my last, my everything

It was awesome

🤣 gone! I believe in you

If you have a life change or goal you’re planning to attack in the new year, just go head and do it now lol

Lmfao “nerd snipe”, I like that.

I’m late as hell but, you are so very loved!! I’m so happy I got to see you.

Thanks for the tag! It very much depends on my mood but here’s a few: Oban 18, Bruichladdich Port Charlotte, Holladay Soft Red Wheat, Penelope American Light Whiskey

So handsoooooome

Google has dropped more than 50 DEI-related organizations from one of its funding lists The dropped groups had mission statements that included the words "diversity, "equity," "inclusion," or "race," "activism," and "women."

“That pull back came due to cost cutting to prioritize investments into artificial intelligence technology as well as the changing political and legal landscape amid increasing national anti-DEI policies.” www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/08/...

Minimum! 😂

That part lol

While I plan a wedding, I love how businesses love to make me seem unhinged for having the nerve to question charges on a quote and alter things to reduce costs.

Yall aren’t about to run me or Fran for our pennies. This industry is at least 50% them trying to rake people over the financial coals.

Heavy on the “Except you” lol

Shoutout to Carly!

A fun part of my career I hadn't expected: finding the people you want to continually be part of your career journey.

I'm slowly, but surely building a "would work with them again in a heartbeat" crew and I love it so much.

I was in Mexico City last week and as I was waiting to board my plane, this American man started loudly talking to me saying he’s lived there for 12 years but the country is run so poorly and stupidly. I can’t remember the last time I distanced myself from someone that fast. Leave if you hate it.

Came here to say this part lol I’m so happy for you and I hope things continue to get even more amazing 💜

Happy Thursday, sky folk. Looking for a good resource on tuning jdbc I/O tasks and data flow params for a beam migration pipeline I'm working on. I've tried all the obvious things, but it still takes about 2 hours on something I think shouldn't. Also already checked DB settings, locks and such. 😔

Touché and I love that your initial thought was towards giving grace. They were just a dummy 😂

It really annoys me when people make comments like this because it implies you’re not trying to make changes within. You speak for yourself but it’s also so much better to have someone who gives a damn in your position than another person who couldn’t care less about the humans behind the tech.

Overheard from another POC — “everything is in Mexican”….

I need yall to do so much better.

I agree

Love love love that quote and I will be using it 😂

Tough but so necessary 💜

Absolutely. And folks who are worth anything will appreciate the push as long as they know it’s coming from a place of wanting everyone to be their best.

If you manage people, you HAVE to be able to have uncomfortable conversations about performance. If you’re unwilling, you’re not only doing a disservice to the person that reports to you, but the entire team and those they interact with.

It’s uncomfortable but practice makes good (not perfect lol)

RFK Jr. Postponed A 'Woke' Preventive Health Meeting — And It Can Impact All Of Us Experts worry about its impact on screenings and health care for all Americans.

“I believe this is why the [US Preventive Services Task force] is being targeted, because it is paying attention to health inequities and racism’s harmful effects on health.” - Dr. Oni Blackstock

I spoke with Jillian Wilson of HuffPost about the RFK Jr.'s threat to the existence of the USPSTF.
