Happy Pi Day, everyone! Here's a throwback to one of my favorite events I organized: #PiPiePiPyLadies!
I had pie and sent an SMS with the press of a button connected to a #RaspberryPi with @pyladiessf on Pi Day! π🥧🐍 Thanks to @DKundel, @cskonopka, @lizziepika, @glowascii, @twilio, and @PubNub for making my #PiPiePiPyLadies dream come true!

Her response: Thanks! I’m a proud mother of two who decided to step out on faith and shift from my copywriting career into tech so that I could better provide for my family. I'm currently looking for donations to financially assist and support my endeavors

I have worked two jobs my entire life, but I would like to devote 100% of my time to software engineer training so that I can transition successfully into the field. Donations appreciated as I embark on this life-changing journey 🫶

Exclusive: Ahoo Daryaei Revealed as the Woman Who Undressed in Protest Against Morality Police Close associates of Ahoo Daryaei, a student who protested against morality police harassment at Tehran’s Science and Research University by removing her clothes, have shared photos and details about her with me. One of her associates said, “Her official name is Mahla, but her friends and close ones call her Ahoo, at her request. We know her as an incredibly brave woman who never accepted coercion.” Another source told me that Ahoo Daryaei has two young children. She was married once but separated from her husband some time ago. Her ex-husband was the brought on camera by state TV, claiming to be her spouse and asking people not to share her images. A close friend added that authorities have disabled Ahoo’s Instagram account, where she shared many videos and photos of herself and her children, clearly showing that she was not only mentally sound but also a lively, courageous woman filled with joy and vitality. In sending Ahoo’s pictures, this source emphasized, “Ahoo, besides being exceptionally intelligent and achieving the highest grades, was well-known among her friends and classmates for her courage and determination to stand up against oppression. She defended her rights multiple times, both in school and university, confronting harassers and bullies.” Ahoo Daryaei was transferred under worrying circumstances to Iran Psychiatric Hospital, where significant concerns about her safety and well-being remain. The atmosphere at the psychiatric hospital has become highly secured since her arrival, with security forces isolating her in part of the emergency room, denying even hospital staff access to her. Yesterday, an informed source at the hospital told me that initial observations by the staff indicated Ahoo was mentally healthy. However, after her initial assessment, only doctors affiliated with security agencies from outside the hospital have been allowed in her room. According to this source, it appears that authorities intend to push her to the brink of insanity through unknown pills and injections. Ahoo once attempted to escape the hospital but was unsuccessful. Be the voice of Ahoo Daryaei. Her life is in danger. #AhooDaryaei #AhooDaryaei #WomanLifeFreedom
In Iran, a student harassed by her university’s morality police over her “improper” hijab didn’t back down. She turned her body into a protest, stripping to her underwear and marching through campus—defying a regime that constantly controls women’s bodies. Her act is a powerful reminder of Iranian women’s fight for freedom. Yes we use our bodies like weapons to fight back a regime that kills women for showing their hair. This happened at Tehran’s Science and Research University She has since been arrested by the authorities. Be her voice. #WomanLifeFreedom

Just found out that rabbits can swim. Also learned their ears go into swim mode when they do. This is important news.

A Black mom in the @TechtonicaOrg SWE program is facing insecure housing, which is impacting her ability to participate in the program. Could anyone help cover temp housing until she can get her family into more permanent housing next month? DM me for her Venmo or PayPal info. 💞

Some Cassidy Williams wisdom -- if you're a paid speaker, get a rider. Hear how @cassidoo outlines her expectations for events she speaks at, and why this is such an important tip to implement.

40 things I wish I knew when I was 20 1. For whatever action scares you (and isn’t life-threatening), remember this surefire way to eliminate the fear: do it 100 times.

I'm trying something new and looking to hire someone who probably wouldn't normally consider this role but could throw themselves into it and excel for 3 months. They: -have worked at director+ level in tech -have often quickly persuaded stakeholders

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The years ahead will be rough. Now is not the time for despair or to quit, but to shift energy. Get into community. Learn how to organize. Get grounded physically, spiritually, and creatively. If you haven't already, start NOW.

Software engineer friends! I've been getting to know the women and non-binary people who will be starting Techtonica's SWE program soon and they're awesome. We need 3 more remote mentors to positively impact the tech journey of these newbies. Anyone? techtonica.org/mentor
