Everyone has a gender neutral bathroom in their home .. possibly several of them. Make sure to use this fact against transphobic assholes.

@StillIRise1963 @KatM @TransitBiker they’re also clearly the grossest when it comes to bathrooms.

So one of my first conference trips after focusing my research on software teams, I'd worked really hard & shared innovative science in a talk that was widely acclaimed. But what I remember most is I was crossing the street with a bunch of men in tech and a car pulled up on us really close to me and I jumped and they all laughed and mocked me for the next block and said it revealed my "real personality"

Anyway that DID perfectly describe every day as a queer woman in tech 10/10 no notes

Don’t say shit about caring about trans people, gay people, Black people, brown people, immigrants or your own damn self if you don’t VOTE for Biden. And, you can kiss my ass too.

@StillIRise1963 also climate oh my god climate. Things aren’t looking good but holy shit the suffering that will happen if we follow the GOP’s path on climate…

What advice would you give to someone just starting out in a relationship?

Mine might sound kind of dark in relation to the question, but here goes:

People change, and they should, it's part of being a person. Some people are lucky, and they change in the same direction, but some don't, and that's okay too. There's no shame in leaving a relationship or changing the nature of a relationship that no longer serves you. We are all taught that every relationship, whether romantic or friendship, is supposed to last forever, but nothing is forever, and forcing something that no longer works, just ends in anger and bitterness. Knowing when to let go is as important as knowing when to hold on through a rough patch, and how to know either of those things is the most cliché advice of all, COMMUNICATE.

@RickiTarr what I’ve learned from watching my queer parents:

Conventional relationship rules can be a useful shorthand, but they can also be oppressive and constricting. If your relationship thrives when you live apart or whatever thing conventional wisdom says spells doom: do that thing. There’s no relationship police.

Random but: just before I got really ill I did a cool research project with my consultancy Catharsis about mid career women in tech using sudden pandemic WFH (along and despite its adversities) to advocate for being seen differently or to get chances that were denied when they were in person. Qualitative interviews with really cool stories about strategy in these moments. Then obviously I got crushed by illness so the data is just sitting on my shelf.

I should find the time to write it up 🥰

@grimalkina that sounds so cool!! Hope to read it soon.

@grimalkina any teasers in terms of findings?

@grimalkina cool!!

@grimalkina I got my first job and my current role both while pregnant and I do sometimes wonder how much not being visibly pregnant walking around helped with that

@grimalkina yea you gotta write this up 😂

Is Trump ahead in the polls, because Biden is losing support amongst one of his key demographics: Black men? Or are the polls all a lie?

Trump ahead in polls?
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/13/us/politics/biden-trump-battleground-poll.html

Biden camp doesn't believe the polls?
https://www.axios.com/2024/05/14/biden-polls-denial-trump-2024-election

Either way, the most important thing to do, is to ignore, insult, argue with, and generally disrespect, Black men online! 🤡 Find a Black man, and yell "Trump is worse!" in his face as hard as you can! Swear at him, and threaten him with violence!

@mekkaokereke man online conversations are so strange. It’s like jumping in to talk when youre only hearing one side of a phone call.

Cause of course my brain says “I AM trying to work on the structural things, but that’s invisible and slow. In the meantime, I really hope hypothetical lady in the bar doesn’t bring home the guy who’s gonna condemn me to death by sepsis.”

But I didn’t hear the scolding that likely prompted this post. So my response is likely out of context and driven by fear.

Jackiemauro,
@Jackiemauro@fosstodon.org avatar

@mekkaokereke I will say, there is an aspect to this discussion that irks me. And again it may just be lack of context. But I feel like there is a temptation to say “if Trump wins it’s not MY fault. It’s [blank]’s fault!” And I think those with the most privilege bear the most responsibility, BUT I think if Trump is elected it is all of our faults, especially if we are not actively taking steps to avoid it.

Jackiemauro,

@mekkaokereke

We owe each other, all of us: immigrants, women, trans kids, on and on. No one should feel absolved from effort. That’s not to say anyone is responsible for saving the rest of us, particularly not Black or other excluded groups. But we all have agency and responsibility. No one can sit on their hands and then feel blameless when the consequences hit us.

Jackiemauro,
@Jackiemauro@fosstodon.org avatar

@mekkaokereke I don’t think we are under any obligation to yell at each other. But I do feel a strong sense of obligation to the people who will be brutalized under Trump to do my best to keep him from being elected. Maybe that obligation extends only to my own vote. Or certainly in my case to trying to convince other white people not to give him their vote. But I know that if I don’t do everything I can, the first time I read about a baby at the border torn from its mothers arms, that’s on me.

Jackiemauro,
@Jackiemauro@fosstodon.org avatar

@mekkaokereke no I haven’t done everything I can on either of those. Or everything I can on climate. Or Gaza. Or mass incarceration. Or trans rights. Or abortion. No one can do everything they can on everything they care about. We do what we are able to, yes all the time, not just voting. And we hold ourselves accountable when we fall short. It’s my task as much as anyone’s to address these things. I don’t think anyone can just say they don’t have to work on them.

Jackiemauro,
@Jackiemauro@fosstodon.org avatar

@mekkaokereke but I do get the feeling of like “I’m sick of carrying this shit, to my great detriment and your great benefit. You pick it up for once!”

Certainly that’s true. It’s my task to pick it up and carry much more than people like me have done historically. And convince my compatriots to do the same.

Jackiemauro,
@Jackiemauro@fosstodon.org avatar

@mekkaokereke sorry for mulling in your thread. I think what gets me in these discussions is the number of people (esp white people) who take this to mean that they get to put what little they were carrying down too and feel self satisfied about it.

Which obviously is not what you were saying.
