Perhaps another useful set of thinking tool questions for addressing diversity and accessibility at its most basic level:

Whose not in the room? Why aren't they there? How would they feel if they knew what was happening in this room?

I think that's something that helped me a lot when trying to understand why there weren't more of x marginalized group in a room. If your looking at your workplace, org, community, fandom, etc and you realize there's no Black people there, that bares examining. If you realize there's no visibly trans or disabled people in your vicinity, that bares examining.

I guarantee you it is not because x marginalized group does not share an interest in your profession, fandom, org, etc. There's something keeping that group from joining that room. Ask yourself why that might be. Have you invited them; have you created a safe space for them?

Have you ever been in a space made for this group in question (where allies are allowed)? What differs from that space and the room you find yourself in where they are not present?

What was different about the trans pride event versus your fandom meetup?

What was different about the disability conference versus your office?

What was different about the Black artists group versus your other artist groups on social media?

Next time you're in the office, at the meetup, signing onto that app, pretend for a moment in your head that someone of that marginalized group is sitting next to you and take note of what everyone is saying and doing. Would you feel comfortable with that behavior knowing they were in the room?

They’ve conquered peaks, crushed trail mix, and made it back to the pickup spot just in time for sunset! The hike was done, the day was winding down, and now? It was time to let the bus do all that walking.

You've heard of depth-first search, you've heard of breadth-first search, now get ready for: ADHD search, where you pick the next node based entirely on where your dopamine-starved neurons tell you to check (may be a node you've already searched. just in case.)

Fantastic adventures in the world of the internet!

Passwords expire so often in corporate settings because passwords are not shelf-stable.

Passwords should be refrigerated after opening. If kept refrigerated in an airtight container, a password will last up to two weeks longer.

i had a dream where entities from fedi got together to make a web browser and called it puppysurf, and the icon is a puppygirl in a bikini on a surf board

@gildilinie they also:

- vociferously and continuously protected and HOSTED terrorist site KF
- have since founding hosted DESIGNATED terrorist orgs like Daesh and the Taliban
- continue to provide services to explicit Nazi sites
- actively doxx anyone who complains about Nazi sites, to those site owners
- still employ Joe Sullivan as their Chief Security Officer, a convicted felon who covered up numerous security breaches resulting in identity thefts at Uber

this might be a good time to remind everyone that Cloudflare management is friends with famous imprisoned nazi hacker Weev

If you’re wondering why half the internet broke tonight for a short period, TCS accidentally hijacked Cloudflare.
