Bit of a tech pessimist, bit of a software engineer.

I'm just a girl, standing in front of a Hollywood dialect coach for a movie set in Africa, begging them to please just pick a country, any country, and stick to it.

We wouldn’t dream of flying Ukrainians to Rwanda for processing - which tells you everything you need to know about this heinous policy

Downing St really cancelled Eid, said “the BAME community” were not taking the rules seriously enough and then had multiple illegal parties

i once heard a homeless man say that one of the worst parts of being on the street is the dehumanization. people feel so guilty about not helping you that they won’t even look at you. imagine spending weeks upon weeks being ignored, essentially invisible.

12. when McDonalds ran out of milkshakes and ITV did the most dramatic reporting of all time, interviewing some VERY distressed customers, including one person who was "distraught"

I will never understand why tech companies optimize interviews for a college grad to do better than someone with ten years of experience.

@KeziyahL Depends on type of hair but I’m natural and I only spend 15mins everyday + 1hr on Sunday for washing/conditioning. Curious what’s your alternative?

They're not "male dominated" industries, they're "industries from which women and non-binary people are actively excluded."

"Dominated" implies there was, at some point, a fair competition.

Poor people celebrating Rhianna’s entry into the billionaires club is a testament to the power of aspirational capitalism. No chains needed.

Led by Donkeys and @hassan_akkad have done it again.

This is an absolutely phenomenal video, exposing how the Govt left our borders wide open to Covid-19 for a year... whilst focusing their “border controls” attention on a few migrants in the channel.

Please talk salary with your friends and peers.

As someone who grew up pinching pennies, I couldn't even fathom the amount I could get paid in tech. When I moved to SF, I asked for $100K, received a phenomenal offer at $120K, then realized everyone was getting paid $150K.
