Change is never going to come as fast & completely as you want.

But if you get mad & stop fighting for it, it's never going to come at all, & we're all going to go backward again.

There's only one party trying to make it better. Are you going to help? Or be part of the problem?

I need a favor. For my #WomenInTech friends, can you fill out this survey for me? It's about what keeps you from having the career you want. If you're an ally to women in tech, pls fwd the survey to your friends, family, & coworkers. Thanks! https://t.co/bUmBI4rdkY #SQLFamily

As we celebrate #Juneteenth, let us keep in mind that African Americans during the Civil War distinguished between *abolishing slavery* and *freeing people.* Many formerly enslaved people did not feel *free* in 1865 and thereafter, and they clearly articulated why. A thread 1/

Nazis. These US Nazis demand purity - be white enough, male enough, or "know your place." They don't consider drag queen performers pure. Any man who adopts any feminine clothing, well they'll treat them just like they treat women: expected to submit & defer. Don't be a Nazi.

[Juicy Garland @JuicyGarland]

We've got some verified Nazis today! Golly, I didn't order those

@NicoleLewisLCSW "girls mature faster" is how older boys and adult men justify "dating," sexually harassing, abusing, grooming, raping, and sex trafficking young girls.

@EliotBeacon @MrAndyNgo There are a lot of folks on here doing emotional labor to help you understand how hating on a Black identity for a fictional character upholds white supremacy. Mermaid stories exist in many cultures. Thank them & commit to doing better going forward. #BefriendingDragons

Anti-trans bills mean trans men w/beards are forced into women's restrooms. Except they won't actually be welcome there either. Anti-trans bills are anti-woman. Anti-trans bills are a fascist tool. Anti-trans bills deny basic agency to humans who differ from an imagined norm.

[@BefriendingDragons @ Insta & Threads: Cindy Gross @SQLCindy]

Anti-trans bills inherently uphold patriarchy. Enforcement means men get to "inspect" women's genitalia. Their definitions of women often exclude child-free ppl like me in perimenopause. #BefriendingDragons

Kansas’ new anti-trans bill is so extreme some cis women could be banned from toilets https://t.co/kLcClv56e4
