Anyone who wants to argue that tech doesn't have a massive fucking misogyny problem that's only getting worse can fucking get in the sea. Here's yet another A/B test.
the final blow for me trying to get rehired in tech happened last week. i’d been rejected for a number of roles i was beyond qualified for, so i resubmitted applications to the same companies under my dead name.

all of them emailed me back within a day. that broke me. it was time for me to pivot.
i was willing to slug it out with tech bros when i could get work, but that hasn’t happened since i’ve been applying as an out trans woman.

i’m not going back in the closet, trying do that almost killed me, so i’ve got to try something else.

Ronald Reagan happened
What happened in 1980 to cause such a dramatic shift? I’ll wait while you think about it . . .

Thanks.

I'm over now, but I have the scars, still. Resumé shredding parties associated with sparkling autocarrot.

Non-withstanding ageism.

ME: I believe in working class solidarity. We need to end infighting, the real enemy is capitalism.

$250k/YEAR TECH BRO WHO THINKS HOMELESS PEOPLE SHOULD JUST STOP WHINING AND LEARN PYTHON: I got laid off and I can't find a job :(

ME (through gritted teeth): I'm sorry for your loss.

That's because they bought a shredder and don't want to get it to waste.

keep canceling events
due to some odd virus

Coworkers
keep missing work
due to some odd virus

Friends
keep struggling with symptoms
due to some odd virus

But should you comment
that we are still in a pandemic
you will be looked at
as if you said something odd.

Look up "Comstock Act". It's from the 19th century, still in effect, and all the jurisprudence around it, etc.

That's their plan™.

The saddest part is that there was a bigger one (unique) aircraft in operation basd on this, but it was destroyed by Putin invasion of Ukraine.

If only it was illegal, the company in question could be held liable, and we could jaill their directors....

Sady we don't jail company directors in this country. Nor South of the wall.

I use YT very often, and never log out. The only thing I get is sometime bugs that trigger autoplaying.
