Hey, @eldsjal - I'd love to invite you to speak at the London Stock Exchange. Can I send you more info?

[justyn @justynashley]

Hey @MorningMika + @Morning_Joe, please make sure you're using the correct pronouns for #ZooeyZephyr, and all #trans people. Please be more conscious on these sensitive issues, especially during this tumultuous time.

Misgendering people is harmful, even if there's no malintent.

Running a company:

2020: can you survive a pandemic?

2021: still here? we’re going to give all of your competitors $100m series A rounds.

2022: wow, you made it? okay, all engineers cost $600,000/year now.

2023: nice job! okay, we’re going to take away your bank account.

Anyone else feel like they are grieving what they once had in this space? For me, this has been an amazing place of connection, creativity, and inspiration.

brilliant.

We have to #DefundThePolice. They’re not here to protect us or keep us safe. Follow and support @Defund_MPD.

[Sarah @sdavidh]

Thankfully he comes out in less than 10 seconds, because he realized he’s not at the right house. He starts asking us questions about another neighbor and where he lives/if we’ve seen him. No recognition that he just lied his way into her house.

[Sarah @sdavidh]

She says “go ahead in” and gestures toward the open door. It’s only when he’s already over the threshold that I see he’s wearing a @DCPoliceDept windbreaker. He’s in plainclothes in an unmarked car.

[Sarah @sdavidh]

Daily reminder that cops lie. I was talking to my 85 y/o neighbor on her stoop. She was expecting a plumber. Random guy walks up. She asks “you the plumber?” he says “yea I’m the plumber” with a chuckle, and walks up the steps towards her open front door. Something seems off.

.@MayorBowser it is unacceptable that the DC govt has relied on volunteers and residents' labor & donations for over 3 months to support migrants. It is time to stand with the community, asylum seekers, and @councilofdc and support folks being bused here! #NoSanctuaryinThisCity

@CarawayHome @LizKorby After hanging the hooks, how long do I have to wait before hanging the lids onto it? I'd read in the instructions that I have to wait, but now I can't find the instructions. 😬

For anyone figuring out what to take into consideration for an employee #abortion policy, here's a quick guide.

#AbortionRightsAreHumanRights

[Allyson Kapin @WomenWhoTech]

If your company or #startup doesn't have an abortion care policy implemented or being drafted now, demand it!

If you're a #founder don't wait—abortions can't wait, and neither can your employees.

There aren't enough expletives to capture our disgust with SCOTUS striking down New York's handgun law. It's the widest expansion of gun rights in 10 yrs, when we're continuing to experience record mass shootings.

Ads for guns showed up on @Britannica, @Glassdoor, on Baby Games with games for kids, on an article about “How to Handle Teen Drama” in Parent Influence, @DenverPost, @MacRumors, @USNews, @pchDotCom, @UltClassicRock, and more.

Are you surprised?
