Kind reposts

In every Zoom/Teams/Google call I was on this week, I noted what happened when a man and a woman tried to talk at the same time. 86% woman apologized and asked the man to continue 10% man apologized and asked the woman to continue 4% someone else suggested who should go first

you cannot tell people's gender by looking at them. straight up, you can't. I am a short sparkly femme who twirls my pigtails and I could be the world's manliest man for all you know you have to ask. check people's bios. don't assume

is there ever a point in your technical career where you *don't* look back at something you wrote a year ago and wonder why anyone lets you near a code editor

This is an interesting experiment. Try opening a new tweet and posting the words "trans women are women". See what kind of response you get. Afraid to do so? Well guess what it's like to actually be trans on here. Don't think I'm a woman? Then please just fuck off.

Billionaires convinced y’all certain jobs aren’t hard work, so don’t require a decent wage. And y’all ate it up. Yet in a pandemic those same workers became “essential workers” and kept our service economy from collapse.

It’s important that this be widely disseminated so that people understand what Parler was.

Post details

Parler has sued Amazon for refusing to provide it web services, and conservatives have rallied to Parler's defense, claiming their views are being censored. In its legal response, Amazon cites the type of Parler content that conservatives apparently want to defend. Take a look:

It’s fascinating to me how the CEOs of Shopify and GitHub continue to tweet ridiculously bad takes into the timeline while they platform and support white supremacy on their platforms. If there is proof that some people can’t be cancelled, it’s those two.

Muslims didn’t visit homes on Eid, Hajj didn’t take place, no Diwali for Hindus, no Vaisakhi for Sikhs. Yet at Christmas it’s perfectly legal to have three families over for 5 days - illegal during the entire pandemic. Never let it be said that minorities don’t put Britain first.

If you're not going to provide hands-on training and mentorship to junior devs, don't hire junior devs. "Junior" does not mean "cheap labor".

10 times out of 10 I would rather work with an engineer who has never touched code before but is a nice person to work with than with a top-class engineer who is also an asshole. The asshole will always create more problems than tickets they close.

How do I look a teenage girl at a high school workshop in the eye and tell her that there's a place for her in the tech industry, knowing she's going to have to struggle through years of being underestimated, underpaid, and overworked just to get half the respect of her peers?

hi hello, if you are capable of understanding why “it works on my computer” is not good enough to ship, you are also capable of understanding why “I’ve never observed any discrimination” is not good enough to build a society on

Could I politely request that men -- who are by society's rules allowed to look exactly like they do in bed -- think a bit before asking women, who are expected to have their hair and makeup done, to do video meetings and calls?
