The final straw was being dragged into a project's alcoholic psychodrama, including harassment & batshit accusations, by a project lead, whom I'd never met until that week. With that in mind: https://t.co/gKLEIrLmjP ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/WebDevLaw/status/1395028641105555456)) - Love, Madonna ‘83 https://t.co/iAxmMto38L  ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/WebDevLaw/status/1846253602630762912)) - I’ve had to bear a lot in my life, in silence. Maybe it’s why I can spot the ones who aren’t silent because they want to be. They’re silent because they have been silenced, by something, or someone. I’m with them. And I will be reconsidering nothing. https://t.co/day6tIQbUq  ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/WebDevLaw/status/1846253419600007621)) - From diagnosis until the end, she was a role model for strength and dignity in dying, and doing so from a horrific disease with no known cause or cure. She was gone at 50. That’s all the time she had. She filled it with nature and art and bad singing, and gifted me the same.

She died paralysed from the neck down and unable to speak, being fed through a g-tube, lying in a bed waiting for her lungs to stop. (They go last.)

Definitely who you want running the infrastructure of 40% of the open web. https://t.co/l9bfu5hXd5    ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/WebDevLaw/status/1848634459186155651)) - Guys, I'm starting to figure out why my weird time contracted to A8C's legal team for their GDPR compliance involved trivial busywork, almost no communication, and a lot of listening to them moaning about @mor10 (I'm serious.) https://t.co/RhvDEMDtVX ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/WebDevLaw/status/1854454082691289506)) - This is genuinely one of the most joyous days of the last few years of my life, and I’m not just saying that because I am currently on my feet directly in front of Kylie Minogue. https://t.co/X1nLYc6jCe ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/WebDevLaw/status/1931069731273937307)) - Someone messaged me "hopefully he'll leave you alone now that he has a new target", and yay? I wouldn't wish it on anybody. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/WebDevLaw/status/1931654272233488419))
