Hi, it's too early and my mentions are full of dudes being Very Annoyed that I said (again) that computer science degrees aren't essential.
So, a few things about that.

I am 1000% unsurprised that Kavanaugh's best friend Mark Judge is pro-gamergate.
All the nazi assholes we're dealing with now - Milo, Bannon, Breitbart, etc. - all cut their teeth on gamergate.

They targeted women for abuse, spun fake stories about why, & then noticed that NOBODY in charge did JACK SHIT either about their lies, or the harm they caused.
Then the gamergate folks took those tactics, and applied them to an entire election. et voila, the dark timeline began.

So! If you participated in gamergate - thanks, asshole. You got played by the nazis, and your stupidity took the entire fucking country down.

Equality is one of Salesforce’s core values, which is entirely consistent with helping all our open source projects adopt well-thought-out & inclusive codes of conduct.

If you think tagging a random execs into your ranting will get me to be quiet...you don’t know me very well.😊
Hey @CenterPolitical - you missed the exec I roll up to, @btaylor, the group I’m in, @salesforceux, and our Chief Equality Officer, @tony_prophet.

Next time you want to threaten someone’s employment, at least do enough research ahead of time to get the people right.🙄
All big companies have issues (& astute searchers will find recent articles about Salesforce’s).

But identifying & closing the gaps between our values and our actions is literally written into my goals for the year.

And, I might add, into Marc’s goals for the year, as well.

Men, the best thing you can do today is be quiet and retweet women. Let’s have a day where we wonder where all the men are.
If you want more feminists in the world, this advice actually isn't terrible. Having my first baby (while married & unemployed) was my radicalizing event. It was at that point I realized that my wider society wasn't interested in supporting me. So....🤔 A screenshot of a tweet from @PipesAreCallin, wherein they advise me to stop working, get married, have babies, and stay in the house to be more happy, ending with a clumsy insult about how men wouldn't be interested in marrying me.
Replies like this are fascinating. First there's the naked statement of what they actually want (in this case, to not see any women in their timeline), & then the clumsy & transparent attempt to feign solidarity. They seem to imagine that I think all men are stoopid (sic).🤣 A screenshot of a tweet from @skoolis4suckers, wherein they say that WELL ACTUALLY, we need men to tweet twice as much today (which is what they actually want), and then wrapping up with a clumsy and transparent attempt to claim solidarity with women. Nice try, I guess?

The pro-bullying Linux zealots were out in force today, mostly while I was away having fantastic conversations with actual people at Dreamforce.

I figure some terrible chan or subreddit must have sent them over.
There were so many that I ran out of time to find enough appropriately dismissive gifs. I had to just mute a bunch of them with no gif response :(
But! The good news is I did keep count. I muted 52 people, and in keeping with my pledge to donate $50 for each muted misogynist asshole to @ProjAlloy, that’s $2600 I will donate to send folks from underrepresented groups to tech conferences.

Thanks pro-bullying Linux dudes!

I'm working on this too!

I'm also working on using "they/them" when I'm referring to someone I don't have explicit pronouns for, rather than assuming she/her or he/him based on first name & presentation. I'm finding that one awkward sometimes, but mostly in a good way.
Another one on my list. I often use "ridiculous" instead.
Another thing I've been working on when addressing an audience (like in a conference talk). Instead of "Good morning ladies & gentlemen" I've been going for "Good morning everyone" or "Good morning [conference name]"
