Although the trend now seems to be going in the opposite direction with the recent SCOTUS ruling and anti DEI rhetoric— if you’re looking to get into the work here’s a few considerations from my experience in a supporting role in a global tech company:

Damn @stitchfix is ending their style pass 😩 that was the big differentiating factor for me
Hi all! Join me today at 11 am ET on "How to Human" where I will dive into “Balancing Motherhood with Work” as a new mom back to work with my now 4-month-old: twitch.tv/codeitlive
Spoiler: there is no such thing as balance 😆

I'm 36 years old, and I can't imagine being the slightest bit invested in a high school homecoming queen contest. I was barely interested in my own homecoming. But this week, rightwing media are frothing at the mouth over a newly crowned homecoming queen in Kansas City.

Like y’all are acting like you don’t know how systemic ableism works.
Y’all are going to create a system to get the old white people out by creating a system where only they can win.

A white 14-year-old accused of trying to drown a Black youth in a racist attack on a Cape Cod pond was released to the custody of his father at a court appearance
The victim told investigators the other child called him "George Floyd"

This Seattle cop was going 40mph over the speed limit when he hit and killed a woman crossing the street.
Then he called in and dismissed his killing by saying she was just a regular person.
He says, "Just write a check."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The cop who laughed about the woman's death was not the cop responsible. Kevin Dave was the officer who allegedly struck the woman - David Auderer was the officer who was recorded laughing about the situation. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/l…

I hate how the imposition of forced norms is playing cover for the elderthugs of our nation.
Give me a 2-hour debate between Dianne Feinstein and Mitch McConnell on cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.
I want to look our gerontocracy in the eyes.

Roommate in hospital: “This is the third time they asked me if I want to sign a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order. I wish they would stop. I don’t want a DNR.”
Repeated requests concerning a DNR order are ableist, coercive and harassment.
No means no.
I can’t wait to be able to sleep on my back again and starfish out 😭. Also waking up starving at 3:30 am 8 month pregnant is annoying

Not at all surprising to find out this teacher's assistant was an ex-cop.
It's also not at all surprising to learn that his old friends tried to let him weasel out of his charges.

Vivek Ramaswany just said the quiet part out loud. Did you hear it? Are you paying attention?

Ok, so here’s a teensy media literacy lesson in differentiating conservatives vs progressives.

Philadelphia Police said that Eddie Jose Irizarry had jumped out of his car with a knife then lunged at them forcing them to have to shoot him....
Until they found out there was local security camera footage. Turns out, they made that all up.
