This is what happens when the people making these decisions aren't people who have to worry about harassment

Holy shit, this thread is a horror show. Made me wonder who Twitter would pick as the star of Black Panther... https://t.co/f68y6nGd9N

Trying a horrible experiment... Which will the Twitter algorithm pick: Mitch McConnell or Barack Obama?

Turns out @zoom_us has a crappy face-detection algorithm that erases black faces...and determines that a nice pale globe in the background must be a better face than what should be obvious.

After 4 years of being patronised by male GPs and made to feel like a pain for trying to get a diagnosis for ongoing health issues I finally spoke to a female GP today and by the end of it I was crying simply for finally being made to feel heard and respected. #WomenInMedicine

Instead of blowing up things for a gender reveal party, the parents to be should hand out wallets. If there’s a dollar inside, it’s a boy, if there’s 72 cents, it’s a girl

Abandoning gender roles/expectations (and the concept of gender) is cool as hell. I have a shaved head, painted nails, a salary 3x my male partner's (pre-covid), and my main interests (right now) are needle work, programming, archery, and cooking. Be whatever you wanna do 💕

So I spent the better half of today thinking about this and I have two things to say to you. 1) You have tiny dick energy. 2) Have you been both a woman and man in tech? No. Guess what asshole. I have. Being a woman in tech fucking sucks.

I'm shocked how hard it is to generate text about Muslims from GPT-3 that has nothing to do with violence... or being killed...

Technical work is inseparable from politics. When you come at us asking us not to take a political position, you're demanding that we abide by your politics of silence. We refuse to be silent in the face of injustice. github.com/sass/sass-site…

One last spicy take before bed: Everyone is entitled to say “my partner” because everyone is entitled to not having to explain the gender and sexuality dynamics of their relationship. Gatekeeping “partner” as a term only hurts queer people, especially bi/pan/closeted ones.

The biggest daily mindfuck is when I deal with is yellow emojis (which are everywhere) Despite being considered yellow as an Asian person historically, yellow emojis represent a “neutral default” AND are perceived as white (like think about the Simpsons) Every. Single. Time.

I’m not sure one should be considered default? Nothing about race is neutral

Tatiana Mac (@TatianaTMac)Sat, 11 Jul 2020 15:37 +0000

being a trans woman who transitioned halfway into her career gives you this unique ability to know with extreme certainty when yr being treated differently bc of yr gender, but without the power to do literally anything about it

Googline "Joules kids wellies" gives you: Girls Wellies - Unicorn and Floral Boys Wellies - Dinosaur and Shark As a parent who's trying not to force their kids down the "traditional" gendered clothing path, this is so disappointing to see @Joulesclothing :(

If you think tech is a meritocracy and you think all people are equal have an equal shot and equally likely to succeed, then **what, exactly,** is your explanation for the lack of representation of everyone but cis het white abled men and the occasional S or E Asian man?

“Identifies as” is a microaggression.

Makes a note to never hire Daniel either. If you choose to hire someone who is overtly so sexist, it tells me a great deal about your lack of ethics. Daniel, do you understand the toxicity he would bring, making it difficult for any woman to be a part of that team?

Hi. I'm 25 years old. Sometimes I have to hold cups with two hands because my tremors get so bad I'll drop the cup if I don't. Often, I use two hands to hold a cup and still need assistance to drink from it. When you punch down, you hit ppl like me.

An image of @BarackObama getting upsampled into a white guy is floating around because it illustrates racial bias in #MachineLearning. Just in case you think it isn't real, it is, I got the code working locally. Here is me, and here is @AOC.
