If you are cisgender, the responsibility is on you to fight for trans, nonbinary, intersex folks.

If you are straight, the responsibility is on you to fight for gay, lesbian, bi, pan, a,aro folks.

Those in positions of privilege & power are the ones most responsible for change.

3. Be visible for the people who don’t yet feel comfortable being their authentic selves publicly.

If you aren’t ready, it’s ok. We’re still here supporting and fighting for you.

2. March with a tribe stronger than the corporation that pays your bills. If you don’t have one, this is a great month to connect with like-minded queers on some interest or cause. Your employer does not need your help promoting its brand during a protest. Wear a different shirt.

🏳️‍🌈 Happy LGBTQ+ Pride Month!

1. It’s a protest and a party, but mostly a protest. Equality and equity are still far from achieved worldwide.

“That rainbow flag waves in defiance here more often than joy.” —LaDonna Witmer

Written British English is like, “Just use a tonne of extra lettres, silieaount vowels, and irregular consonant jukstapositions in plaeces for humourous internationalisation.”

I considered replacing my Fitbit with an Oura Ring, but €314 and then also a €6/month membership is way more than Apple Watch.

The monthly subscriptions for every damn piece of hardware have to stop.

Let’s see what’s on the Information Superhighway this morning

I dare a country music artist to write a song about a parent in Texas losing a child to gun violence.

The only 2 things I want from #WWDC2022:

1. watchOS with third-party watchfaces (the only feature keeping me on a Fitbit)

2. IP67 waterproof iPad (I like to read in the bathtub)

Nothing has captured what I feel experiencing my birth country (USA) from afar (Sverige) quite like this essay and poem by LaDonna Witmer, a poet who moved her family to Portugal.

“Resistance is everywhere, it always has been and always will be. Just because someone is not resisting the same way you are does not mean they are not resisting. Being told you are a worthless piece of shit and not believing it is a form of resistance.” —Kathleen Hanna

Repeal the 2nd Amendment. #GunControlNow

I’m quite tired of cis-het men like Bll Mhr and J Rgn who seek applause in “just asking the questions” but lack the curiosity to seek answers by talking to trans teens and their parents.

Many companies have location-specific internal logos for offices. They often feature a characteristic of the city.

What should the logo for remote workers be?

Initial thoughts:
• globes don’t capture much
• remote = freedom to roam but many don’t
• unbound / not boxed in

Hey conference organizers, Brexit means conferences should no longer be held in London.
