So.... who's on #Mastodon? Should we start a list of #Drupal people over there?

Free to drop your accounts in this thread so we can find each other when this titanic failure inevitably sinks.

Some folks have started a server at https://t.co/jciJ3FxCR7. They are following the current Drupal Code of Conduct and working with the Community Working Group.

We have concerns, but will join there and see how it goes!

@YesCT Unfortunately, mastodon lists can't be shared or we'd definitely start one!

"No matter the outcome, women’s lack of career progression is blamed on them, an attack they share with other underrepresented groups."

Would love to see our allies can really do some hard work on questioning their instinctive responses to others.

There is so much that only real allies can do!

[Queer News Daily on Insta @Nico_Lang]

I hope this is a reminder to straight, cis people that they have a lot of power in this fight as allies. Trans folks and LGBTQ+ people have been saying all this for years and people didn't listen.

People listen when a straight, cis man says it. There's a responsibility there.

Tech conferences too

[Prof Nisreen Alwan 🌻 @Dr2NisreenAlwan]

🛎 Attention scientific conference organisers:

It is not acceptable in this day and age not to organise your face to face events as hybrid.

I’ll tell you why 🧵

[AssistantToTheRegionalManager (She/Her) @Purity_Birir]

I find that to gain the respect of the tech bros you just to have to be one. The more you are like them the more they think you deserve to be in that space. I've found even at tech events, tech bros won't engage you about matters tech unless you look like a tech bro

[A voice for Drupallers of marginalized genders @drupalchix]

Especially important for global communities like #Drupal.

[Dr. Rebecca Gladstone @Becctococcus]

Unpopular opinion: Hybrid conferences should be here to stay. This is an inclusivity and accessibility issue, particularly for attendees from Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). 🧵1/11

📖 'Diversity is an ordinary, even unremarkable, feature of institutional life. Yet diversity practitioners often experience institutions as resistant to their work, as captu'red through their use of the metaphor of the "brick wall."

[Simply Test Me @simplytestme]

The @drupalassoc is hiring for Chief Executive Officer!
Are you an entrepreneurial leader who can take the organization to the next level, help drive the growth of #Drupal, and support the health of the community?
