The thing about "getting men involved" is sometimes the ones you get are the ones you least want.
-
E.g men who show up to hit on women, especially university women. Men with poor boundaries who just want to be told how awesome they are.
-
One of my friends told me her manager (terrible) ranted at her for their entire 1:1 about why he wasn't invited to a teach diversity course.
-
I think he's more qualified to teach a gas lighting and homogeneity course.
-
Anyway! If you are going to have men thought-leader in diversity+inclusion be careful of who they are. The good ones hesitate and clarify.
-
I've had this convo w/ number of men I think are GREAT lately. They have specific concerns, are respectful of space, don't want to fuck up.

Guys who say "hell yeah let me educate you on this topic" well I think you should be wary. I am.

My suitcase fell off the thing at checkin and this man picked it up to show me chivalry is not dead. He's hilarious.
-
Hagit no that did not make a good impression
-
killerswan yeah
-
roidrage exactly!!! The poor raccoon!
-
antifuchs well that raccoon definitely resented being considered a public good!!

Actually sent from an airport this week. Thanks to our sponsor twilio who are promoting their dev conf signal :) techspeakdigest/648755092305354752

Learned my lesson about being on time for airport boarding... The number of random searches isn't looking that random. And I was chosen :/

kecatlin chiuki techspeakdigest yay!! Also: finished present on the plane! Finally!! Really liked the chapter on meetings, so helpful.

skamille this is very true and I wish you would blog about it 💜

Feels about learn to code thing. I learned C aged 16 because was at a fancy pants boarding school. In state school would have learned excel.
-
We had 6 or maybe 8 people in the class and the teacher was pretty good. Classes that small are okay when students parents pay £££££.
-
Of course I was the only girl and at times that sucked.
-
But not gonna lie, if my family couldn't have afforded to send me to that kind of school... I would never have learned to code beyond html.
-
Not just programming: I made photograph developer using vitamin c. Peers in state school wrote papers, didn't get to do experiments.
-
Basically: science education in the UK 10-15 years ago was something you paid cash-money for, or maybe got lucky with location.
-
I don't know if that has changed now, but I doubt it.
-
eileentso aren't your trips always quick? :)
