When someone responded to me being a #DnD playing opera singer with “Hey, have you seen this, you should try it if you want to play a bard! It’s a homebrew called the College of the Opera.”

One time a restaurant manager incorrectly explained my own food allergy to me WHILE I was mid-anaphylactic shock and struggling to breathe. (The culprit was pecans; the manager tried to argue with me that it was pine nuts when pine nuts aren’t nuts at all — they’re seeds.)

I work in data science. I designed some metrics/dashboards that were kind of a hit within my company. I’ve had SEVERAL upper mgmt types email me them and say I should study them to learn how to design something for them.
I wrote those materials. They ask me to learn my own work.— Molly (@itsmolly) August 2, 2020
