@AGLEnergy customer service is a joke! Asked them to update my electricity plan with Netflix—wasn’t done. Called today, took forever, and now it’s only active tomorrow. Meanwhile, I’m stuck with ads and limited shows. So frustrating! #AGLfail #CustomerServiceNightmare

Loving the energy in the room and fingers crossed for @SisterWorks. Congrats to all the finalist of the Premier Sustainability Awards 2023. #PSawards23

May I also get a front page, a show on TV, a radio program, to complain about being silenced and cancelled?

Huge congrats to #anitaaherne - client, friend, superwoman on her launch of #livingonthesprctrum - an austism directory and neurodiverse hub! My girl is crushing it!

@VirginAustralia cancelled my flights. Called their customer service - was on hold for 1 hour 30 mins and they hung up on me!! This is unbelievable. @richardbranson I cannot believe this is the legacy that you leaving behind.

This is insane! #TexasSchoolMassacre

Received a message at 10.38am to speak at an event for a national organisation on the same day at 12 noon, with zero budget all in the name of "Harmony Day".

I wish this was a one-off. This is the majority of requests PoC receive and always reads like they're doing us a favour.

@SandraBrisAU I am so sorry to hear this. Having had my relationship just implode 2.5 months ago because my partner and fiancée of 5 years that I moved countries for had decided that he does not want to be in a relationship with me anymore. So I absolutely understand how painful this must be!

I led our recent fundraise, was heavily quoted in the TC article, and had 200k views on my social posts.

And yet, all inbound VC interest went to my male cofounder’s inbox.

These VCs are going to miss out on incredible companies led by women (not just ours) with this mindset.

In Q1 2019, 39% of Stripe's hiring was outside Bay Area and Seattle. Last quarter, it was 74%. I think the rate at which tech industry is going global is still under-appreciated, and that this will be a big tailwind for the world over the next decade.

Can I get an Amen! 🙏🏽

No shortage of startup ideas but always a shortage of entrepreneurs who are willing to take the risk, put in the time, and execute.

I would like to add that sometimes that plane is a f-35 fighter jet loaded with long range missiles 🚀

[Reid Hoffman @reidhoffman]

I believe starting a company is like jumping off a cliff and assembling a plane on the way down -- your willingness to jump is your most valuable asset as an entrepreneur.

He didn’t buy enough vaccines.

He didn’t organise enough rapid tests.

He didn’t plan for empty supermarket shelves.

Scott Morrison just isn’t up to the job.

This video is gold! Charlie Munger literally cast shade on hyped up “fake” millionaires tryna to see you trading courses! Ditto to those biz / life coaches too!

“It was never an option for me to take off my hijab and run. And that should never be something that a Muslim woman ... has to contemplate if she wants to enter public life.”

— Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) concludes her remarks condemning Islamophobic attacks from GOP colleagues.

The House minority leader "is so desperate to be speaker" that he's willing to overlook the violent targeting of women of color in Congress, the Democrat said. https://t.co/WGHPnZBoMm
