Why do they never show the masochism side of heaven?

if you don't see why there's a power component to this, that's exactly why we're here

I dunno, man, you're going to have to target that more specifically at the white men and women who actually can do something
The people making the memes are generally not the people who hold power to do much more than we already have been

some of DEI has always been real for the people involved at the edges, but deep down, for the company itself it's entirely performative

How I see myself:
"I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubble gum."
Reality:
"I have come here to do two things… and I remember neither of them"

How should an openly queer person respond to a recruiter for a company in Dubai?
"Did you get rid of slavery and the death penalty for gay people? Still no, but just checking."

At least 4 out of 5 times I go through #TSA, they insist on patting down one random thing or another around my hips and thighs, typically a pocket or zipper
I know that pockets are illegal on women's clothing but surely clothing is expected to commonly have a zipper. What's up with that?
At a stretch I'll accept that they have to pat down some embroidery or a drawstring. But a zipper!?

Mental health tip: Grounding is fantastic for everyone! Grounding can help with calming agitation, for emotion regulation, or managing PTSD & C-PTSD. It's great for everyday situations, like feeling confident before leading a meeting or giving a presentation, before a hard conversation or an interview, or just a good way to finish the day and maintain work-life balance.
My favorite grounding technique is to find something that stimulates each of your 5 senses. It could be something you like, something familiar, something that gives relaxy vibes, whatever.
E.g.:
• something you like to eat, such as a piece of candy or chocolate
• a scent you like (tea/oils/perfume/etc)
• a song or white noise
• a material or texture or weight or fidget or cat or dog or snake
• some pictures, visualizations, art, darkness, or bright light
I carry around lychee candy, lilac scented oil to rub on my wrist, an emergency calming playlist (seriously), photo albums of my cats, and a ball of tungsten!

I was skeptical about homeopathy being completely useless, but I found a homeopathic treatment for hypoglycemia that's actually effective!
Turns out sugar pills are more than a placebo effect after all

Time to put Yellowstone to work! Just imagine how many countries could be powered by that little lava baby

or gender neutral names? Robin, Alex, Sam?

An awkward part of joining teams that were previously all men is eventually learning that they inevitably used a generic man's name for a shared account to manage a vendor relationship
Which is really disappointing because it's a terrible security practice to use shared accounts
Also it's short-sighted and a sexist default to not consider that people other than men might join the team eventually. But it tracks that such a shortsighted assumption would match up with poor security practices

Org offsite instructions: "It is mandatory for every team to take a picture"
I'm so proud of my team

How do we know that security is predominantly Gen X?
Because everyone forgets about them
