If you have a mentor in your life, please remember to update them on where your career has taken you.
I just received a detailed letter from a student I mentored 6 years ago, whom I had only heard from once during COVID.
Needless to say, old men can cry with joy.

I was taught that politics is disagreeing with how to address a problem, not disagreeing on whether the people suffering from the problem should be villainized.
We can negotiate on a solution to a problem. There is no middle ground on whether we should be villainizing the victims of a problem.

General reminder that the word "Hackers" is not actually a synonym for the word "Criminals"
I am looking at you, the folks that write headlines for online news articles!

If someone you follow brings you value, take the time to let them know, and do it often. This act of kindness and appreciation has value all on its own, but it also has added importance because there are legions of hurt and hateful people that don't hesitate to try and regularly tear them down. It would be a shame if those hateful and hurtful voices were the only ones the people that we valued ever heard.
