🚨✨ BOOK LAUNCH DAY! ✨🚨
My book, The Remote Work Era (
@RemoteWorkEra
), is officially LIVE & available in e-book/paperback at ! 📖
2020 has been a rough year. At times I thought this day would never come. I am so happy & excited.
My partner’s company is hiring for a remote front-end developer (React)! Will be hiring for back-end (Ruby) later this year. Let me know if you want me to make a referral. 🌸
@Duanecia
Psychodynamic therapy has been so so key for me in learning to understand this.
I think so many people struggle with complex PTSD (C-PTSD) from childhood and don’t understand it or how it impacts their adult lives. 😞
Prayers for DMX in his physical and emotional recovery!
@somethings_awry
Try “What My Bones Know” instead. Very compassionate and engaging memoir on c ptsd that helped me a lot. And one of my overall favorite reads last year.
@iamharaldur
I agree with all your reasoning (and didn’t change my last name) buuuut a lot of my female friends had their own deeply personal reasons for wanting to make that change, and suggesting that it was the “wrong” choice is quite diminishing.
“I really need these tabs.”
These tabs:
- the same Google doc opened in 4 windows
- an article I was reading 2 months ago
- 53 zoom “launch meeting” pages
@abarrallen
Ehhh there will always be options for talented folks who only want to work remotely... now more than ever.
Office-centered cultures are going to struggle to hire and retain the best talent when their competitors are remote.
Hey
@webflow
designers —
I need someone to take my half-finished website and spruce it up for me!
Been trying to do it solo but realized it needs a more experienced touch.
Anyone available?
Twitter! Where can I find experienced voice actors for audiobooks? Looking for someone to start working with me to record and produce the audio version of my book next month, for a Jan or Feb release.

Oh my god I will never forget the shame of having my teachers open and sort through the dumpster fire contents of my backpack and then say my problem was that I was “disorganized.” Lol okay. And 20 years later I’m organized enough to run my own biz with dozens of reports 🙄
So many of us are remote now, it’s gone from being a unique way of life to a norm.
And a lot of conversations about remote work are starting to feel dull and repetitive.
So what should we be talking about in 2022 when it comes to the future of work? 👇
@AngryBlackLady
The only thing that’s realistic is to go to the Blue Lagoon, which is right by the airport. There are shuttle transfers there and back specifically for layovers.
@ImNotJK
Jeez. I’m so glad I let myself have free time, travel, and enjoy my life early in my career lol. And I definitely haven’t suffered career-wise because I did.
Excited to share I'm looking for my next role!
Things I'm looking for:
🚀 Startup
🦾 Focus on the future of work or interesting tech
💻 Remote-first culture
✍️ Comms/content role
🌍 Bonus: European company (my goal is to eventually relocate)
RTs/referrals appreciated! 🙏
Twitter, it’s been a minute.
And I’m back with some news —
After an amazing 2.5 years, I recently decided to end my time at Remote.
It was a tough decision, but the right one for me and my career.
I’m ready to go back to the incredible highs and lows of entrepreneurship. ✨

I’m biased obviously but I genuinely feel this at
@remote
. I lost a loved one a week ago and it’s been a great demonstration of how supportive everyone is. Unlimited bereavement not counted in PTO and everyone has encouraged me to take all the time I need.
Since the pandemic I’ve low key realized that my dream in life is to run an international co-working/co-living space somewhere, like maybe Estonia... want to start moving toward that vision.
Was so much fun to meet everyone at

I am hosting a Tokyo meetup now 👋
These people saw my Tokyo Blind Date posts and we are all hanging out in the park today
I brought name tags for everyone and have been leading rounds of intros to help everyone make new friends
The weather is so nice today!
@MattHaneySF
wat? I’m sorry but how does this make sense when even boosted people are getting very serious cases of Omicron and the numbers are rising…
Are you currently
#remote
but worried about being forced back to the office?
I’d love to talk to you!
DM me & we’ll schedule a time to chat privately for 30 mins - you will be compensated for your time. ☺️
I’ve spent the last ~2.5 weeks co-living and co-working with 25 other digital workers in Dahab, Egypt. 🌍
This is our “office”/co-working space.
Here are my takeaways so far…
Honestly, I’ve never seen the tech/remote job market this hot. 🔥
So many opportunities out there rn with top salaries and good benefits across all kinds of roles and skill sets.
If you’ve been considering making a move... 👀
@MarkBeylin
Honestly if you’re being hired for a key exec or vp role you should absolutely be doing this… especially if you’re a tech leader and there isn’t enough tech expertise on the board.
“But it's a perilous time to reveal preferences”
…wasn’t it your response to employees “revealing preferences” that caused everyone to leave Basecamp? 🤔
"It's a real shame that this is the world we find ourselves in now. One so sharply divided by politics and ideology that we can't even share the love of Ruby on Rails together at a conference without a need to settle scores."
Hellooo to the first Monday of 2021! ☕️
I’m going to be sharing 30 days of remote work ~hacks~ to kick the new year off right. 👩💻
Advice for new & experienced remote workers alike, whatever your role or field! 👇

Not because of -- in SPITE of. Because the odds are stacked against women, people of color, etc. to begin with and we have to work harder to succeed. Just to then be seen as tokens/diversity hires/etc
DEI is about leveling the playing field -- not "reverse discrimination" or w/e
It’s hilarious when Europeans assume taxes in the US are super low then you shock them by telling them how much people actually pay.
“Where does it go, you don’t even have healthcare?!” 🤣🙃😪
About to schedule a meeting?
1. Create an agenda.
2. Send the agenda to your colleagues.
3. See what can be responded to async.
4. Is anything left on the list?
5. If yes, ask the group if a call is needed.
6. If yes, schedule the call.
7. If no, get an hour back in your day.
@mar15sa
I think the biggest struggle when running any kind of agency or being an independent consultant is turning down work. It’s easy to get in the habit of saying yes to every project, out of fear of future scarcity or because you just want MORE. Saying no is the most important thing.
My

"stack" for 2022:
-
@withopal
for blocking social apps during the day
-
@focusmate
for "body doubling" (virtually working alongside another person)
-
@focusatwill
for neuroscience + music to boost productivity
- Therapy + medication!
What's yours?
It's amazing that Americans can pay $1,000+/mo for health insurance and still get billed $200 for a hospital visit, and we're convinced that's a great deal...
So tired of seeing the tone policing posts from white people that start with
#BlackLivesMatter
and end calls to “protest peacefully” or “looting doesn’t help anything.” Because that last part feels more like your intent with posting than the first.
Excited to share that I recently joined the

Been wanting to join since I met my friend

during our pandemic poker ♣️ games in 2020 and the timing was finally right!
Cheers to a great adventure. 🍸
I'm looking to chat with business leaders/HR/people folks who are directly involved with hiring international employees!
OR who are interested in hiring their first international employees! 🌎🌍🌏
Can compensate for your time. RT for reach! 💗
Titles ARE important, esp for marginalized ppl in tech who so often are not properly acknowledged for our skills & contributions.
Titles help us gain credibility to grow & find more opportunities. Holding back a title upgrade for arbitrary reasons is holding back a career.
My goal over the next year or so is to build a brand+product and sell it on

I’m not at the point in my life where I want to be a ft entrepreneur scaling something but I have great ideas I don’t want to just sit on.
Why do we continue to extract business success insights from people like Bezos and Thiel when there are SO MANY successful, non-problematic people we can learn from?
Copying the playbooks of people who are abusive and destructive isn't going to "make the world a better place."

Everyone should be aware that 9/10 angel investments will fail before making such investments. They should also have enough disposable income to take the losses. But most people don’t.
Today was my first day back at work
@Remote
after taking a 3 week vacation and then unfortunately having to take a week off due to covid.
I am so happy to be back. Really missed my team and projects. Feels good. ❤️

@thatgirlinsb
Fuck. This issue is *not about* Trump and Biden. This is about Black lives. We’re not going to throw away the momentum of this movement and water it down for BIDEN, of all things. We need to defund and dismantle the police, period.
@ReignOfApril
Neither of them should have run to begin with. They should have thrown their weight behind & helped shape the policies of a candidate who is likely to survive 2 terms. We could have had a female or POC as the nominee, if either really cared about diversity.
@FitzTheReporter
I hate that the narrative around this isn't going to be "Newsom did something wrong" but rather "Newsom is imposing unfair restrictions that we should not follow"
@FireFanbulance
@WesleyLowery
Agree. Lumping black Americans into the same category as the working class & not pivoting an inch or releasing more specific policies for the black community *after 5 years* was a huge miscalculation on behalf of his campaign. He had so much time to make changes & build bridges.
