Right now as we grapple with a tsunami of changes to Ashley's work I'm grateful for every man in tech (you know who you are) who has ever taken a phone call or a zoom call to give me advice, share your strategies, and otherwise extend your information and access and privilege to our household. Despite everything we face in tech the kindness and solidarity and community I have experienced light part of my way and help me understand what we can be to each other
