    Legit have unfollowed some “tech thought leaders” today. Reminder that being able to “stay out of politics” is a male, white privilege. For everybody else, “politics” determines whether or not you’re considered to be a person and have rights.

    OMG what a thrilling talk by at (“How to crash a plane”). 🤯 He vividly took us through the iconic United 232 crash to teach about good collaboration. What fantastic storytelling. I audibly gasped several times. I want more!!

    Okay, I actually want to talk about this for a second, regarding millennials and how really goddamn difficult it is for us to make sense of our own age sometimes.
