If you’d given me 1,000,000,000 guesses of things that would happen in 2022, “creator of Veggietales implying Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber are trans in a Twitter thread where he’s asking other Christians how drone strikes are okay but abortion isn’t” wouldn’t come up.

"Oh dear, you have a lot of... things." The cyborg looked up. "The word is prosthetics." "So much machinery. Don't you worry you will stop being human?" "Oh, there is a line I will not cross." "What line is that?" "I will not question another person's humanity."

This is good programming advice, but it also applies to internalized beliefs. If you’re trying to work through things that you might not realize you believe, a lot of the same strategies apply!

a debugging manifesto

1. inspect, don't squash

try to fix the bug (crossed out) 
understand what happened (yes, smiley faces and stars)

2. check your assumptions

person (thinking): "wait, how do I know that's true?"

3. being stuck is temporary

person (thinking): "I will never figure this out!"
... 2 minutes later....
person (thinking): "well, I haven't tried X..."

4. don't go it alone

person (speaking to other person): "hey, have you seen this problem before?"

5. trust nobody and nothing

person (thinking): this library can't be buggy... OR CAN IT???

6. there's always a reason

computer: "computers are always logical, even when it doesn't feel that way"

7. build your toolkit

person (holding toolkit): "wow, the CSS inspector makes debugging SO MUCH EASIER"

8. it can be an adventure

person (talking, with cute bug next to them): "you wouldn't BELIEVE the weird bug I found"

Getting ready to sleep for an important meeting tomorrow. Jump in bed, use laptop for a while. Wait, why is my blanket damp? Water dripping from the ceiling…maintenance says to watch it for a half hour, and if it doesn’t stop, he’ll make the HOUR LONG drive to look at it

I shall have more to say about the trailblazing, incomparable Nichelle Nichols, who shared the bridge with us as Lt. Uhura of the USS Enterprise, and who passed today at age 89. For today, my heart is heavy, my eyes shining like the stars you now rest among, my dearest friend.
