It's hard to respect systems (and the rules they enforce) if they don't respect you.
#RussiaUkraineConflict and cyber security in Europe - new kind of warfare deployed by Russia through cyber attacks is likely to affect other countries & companies, explain @gretanasi & @colinpmacarthur viasarfatti25.unibocconi.eu/notizia.php?id…
Thinking of all my friends in Ottawa who's city is paralyzed by government inaction and right wing hate. These events can be particularly hard on people who work in civic tech. We think govt is good. We think people are good. Things like this really challenge those views.
This morning, the @WhiteHouse OMB released a final "zero trust" strategy to overhaul U.S. government cybersecurity: whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl… There are new, aggressive policy requirements in authentication and encryption — and a broad push away from network perimeter security. 1/

Time for that ~personal news~: Next week, I join The Washington Post as the Cybersecurity 202 writer. "Thrilled/excited" etc. don't begin to capture how I feel about this. It's been a dream since I was a teenager to work there.
inbox zero is dead, I've embraced inbox max chaos: it's a stream of emails, they all stay in the inbox, I mostly respond as I catch important ones... if it's really important, text or DM
It's amazing how I keep collaborating with people I met at 18F so long after my tenure there. Such a great group of folks.
A bunch of us are having our first thanksgiving without a family member, lost to covid. If you’re going through this, I’m right beside you. I don’t have any comfort other than witnessing and sitting with your pain along with mine.
I am going to use all of them in my slides.

If you’re not Black, but you’re trying to connect w/ Black folks, just be yourself. One of the worst things you can do is default to whatever you think a Black person acts like. Don’t sass me, be dramatic, & talk loud. It’s weird, it’s racist & makes me not want to deal w/ you.
Feels really nice to get this done -- it's felt `off` every time I've had to say `master` is updated and or `This is the latest code from master`. github.com/cds-snc/covid-…
Things that make me happy: I was just in a year-in-review retro breakout session where a design researcher talked about the importance of automated testing and a systems engineer advocated for understanding and prioritizing accessibility in gov-facing admin tools.
Keen to hear from folks from all walks of career and life. Happy to take questions. Looking forward to your application 🙏

@abbeysuekos @18F there was a political aspect that attracted some deeply kind, caring people that a company could never replicate: building government for the people, people over profit, people over hierarchy, open gov and sunlight... the rest is what comes along with that foundation
@abbeysuekos @18F There are no keepers of The Way Things Must Be. (Though many have tried 😜) There are those of us with more context about why things might be how they are, but something I tell new folks is that their ideas are just as valid as an oldster’s like mine. That’s how we get better.
@cydharrell Your tweet uses a word that isn't mentioned in the article: "power." That absence is symptomatic of UX' foundational problem: the ironic aversion to examining UX practice in *context* of the full experience of power, privilege, & politics in the US world that spawned it?
My mom (White) told me that she went in to work last week and the Black security guard waved her over very seriously and explained that they'd had a community discussion, and that the Black Community stands with AAPI, and to please tell that to her (Asian) husband and kids. 😭
I used to think my least popular non-licorice-related opinion was that "guys" is fine actually, but now I think it's that April Fools Day is mostly good clean fun & I look forward to silly corporate jokes 🤷♀️
It's true I did say those things.

I'm far from the first to say this, but...just because something is a best practice doesn't mean it's good enough
