Change is never going to come as fast & completely as you want.
But if you get mad & stop fighting for it, it's never going to come at all, & we're all going to go backward again.
There's only one party trying to make it better. Are you going to help? Or be part of the problem?
I need a favor. For my #WomenInTech friends, can you fill out this survey for me? It's about what keeps you from having the career you want. If you're an ally to women in tech, pls fwd the survey to your friends, family, & coworkers. Thanks! us7.list-manage.com/survey?u… #SQLFamily

As we celebrate #Juneteenth, let us keep in mind that African Americans during the Civil War distinguished between *abolishing slavery* and *freeing people.* Many formerly enslaved people did not feel *free* in 1865 and thereafter, and they clearly articulated why. A thread 1/
Nazis. These US Nazis demand purity - be white enough, male enough, or "know your place." They don't consider drag queen performers pure. Any man who adopts any feminine clothing, well they'll treat them just like they treat women: expected to submit & defer. Don't be a Nazi.

Anti-trans bills inherently uphold patriarchy. Enforcement means men get to "inspect" women's genitalia. Their definitions of women often exclude child-free ppl like me in perimenopause. #BefriendingDragons
Kansas’ new anti-trans bill is so extreme some cis women could be banned from toilets thepinknews.com/2023/04/28/k…
Self care is key to thriving. When we focus only on the technical details & our job description we make doing our jobs much harder - and much harder ON US. Take a breather. Learn from these folks Friday. #BefriendingDragons

WTF is wrong with Rs right now? Elected Rs are fast-tracking our descent into authoritarian fascism. Their white supremacy and patriarchy are no longer under a glossy veneer, it's naked for all to see. Do you see it? What keeps you from naming it and fighting back tooth & nail?
What is happening in Tenn. with @brotherjones_ & @Justinjpearson shows that the fight for U.S. democracy was not resolved in the last election, that what can't be done at the federal level will be executed in the state house. These are end of Reconstruction,Jim Crow-era tactics.
