☛ A Teenager Gets Grilled By Her Dad About Why She’s Not That Into Coding — Matter — Medium
Jay: You have taken a look at Girls Who Code, right?
Sylvie: It sounds like a great program! From what I’ve read, the girls who do the program come out with a positive experience, more opportunities, and a desire to learn more about coding. Also, I love how they present the statistics. It’s clear and simple.
Jay: “Applicants must be a current sophomore or junior girl in high school.” If we had offered you the opportunity to apply for those summers, do you think you would have been interested?
Sylvie: Well I read that and got disappointed, so… yes.
Jay: I’m disappointed too. In myself! Because I knew about that organization.
Sylvie: Ah, well. Nobody’s perfect.

My birthday gift to you
It’s my birthday today (yes, I know, I look good for my age. thanks). Since that usually brings people to your Facebook wall, I took a moment to share four things written by talented friends of mine that have made me happy this month. I figure it makes sense to post them here too:
- Rachel Rosenthal’s monologue “Identity Thief” in the latest Risks podcast. Jump to 53:50 to hear it. Gut-wrenchingly honest and beautifully performed: http://risk-show.com/podcast/dicks/
- Kaitlyn Rose Tierney’s “4 Simple Rules for Men Not To Be Garbage Humans”: http://ktierney.tumblr.com/post/100720137062/4-simple-rules-for-men-not-to-be-garbage-humans
- David Mogolov’s blogpost on the Kansas City Royals making the postseason. It’s the reason why I’m rooting for them over the Giants this week! http://davidmogolov.com/mogolog/2014/9/26/the-royals
- Hannah Foell’s erotic story of Harry Styles and a great white shark. It made me laugh more than anything in the last month. https://soundcloud.com/hannanimal/i-knew-you-were-trouble-when-you-swam-by
Yay for awesome talented chums!

New Sleater-Kinney song, in advance of a new Sleater-Kinney album. I am this: excited!

“The erotic tale of Harry Styles and a Great White Shark.”
This is why Hannah is one of my favourites.
