I am inches from going full on exposè on the sexism in academia. I have never been so close to this line of exposing it all. The higher up you get, the worse it becomes. The more insulting is. Insulting is even too light of term. Demeaning. Disgusted by every single aspect.

54 - Why are we excluding people from using this?
Amazing to read about this journey. Many people at work ask me who is asking to make this accessible and I tell them that's the wrong question. I ask them Why are we excluding people from using this? I've never had to use a screen reader but I want to make software and documents for people wh...

The main issue with freeing the kids, is that kids cannot vote. This is not un-doable. With slaves, slaves could not vote. But there were enough non-slaves that agreed that slaves should be freed. So it passed through. With women rights until some point in time women couldn't vote too. But there were e...

-the social and #feministic concept of bicycling
-the link between #equity, equality and riding a bike
-childfriendly cities

It's not surprising at all to see the report come out about private schools getting so much more taxpayer funding than public schools. I'm in and out of private and public schools all the time and I can tell you: the gap is ever-widening. It's a national shame.

More women. More communities of color. More working-class voices. #ProportionalRepresentation creates a government that looks like the people it serves.
"Portlanders just used proportional ranked choice voting to elect their most representative city government in more than a century. Voters chose leaders who form a portrait of the city in miniature. The dozen councilors include three renters, five people of color, six women, eight millennials (one only 28 years old), and residents of twelve different neighborhoods. Most importantly, proportional representation paved the way for a council that reflects Portlanders’ varied political beliefs, full of advocates for different viewpoints from business to labor, from moderates to progressives, and even from animal rights to transportation safety."
