Know what the absence of racism would look like for Black folks?

Ordinary-ness.

Just life.

I think we deserve that.

Just a warning, I am immediately blocking, and sometimes server blocking on, "stop posting about politics if you're a insert profession here" takes. Technology is politics. Education is politics. Security is politics. The people who work in these fields, and more, are intimately impacted by politics. Some peoples' lives, families, and livelihoods are in danger. It's all politics, stop content and tone policing if you're one of the few people who's currently insanely fortunate to be relatively unimpacted. It's asinine.

I just got laid off from Okta, so if you are looking for a very good cybersecurity risk manager with 20 years of experience and a great track record, hit me up.

The Christian fascists are telling you what the next phase is in rolling back human rights and installing a deeply genocidal fascist regime in America.

How can you be a #PinkFloyd fan and not realize where the rainbow came from? 😂
Also, really want this box set 😍

I joined a large company a couple years ago, observe how things work inside. I've come to think that the size demands abstractions to help humans understand things at that larger size. Bugger abstractions. Bigger, less accurate models about the world around us. Individuals become statistics.

What would it look like instead of looking at wage disparity, we instead looked at size, those abstractions, the humanity erased through them.

Is wage disparity just a side-effect of the actual problem?
