    JOMO pro tip that I ripped off from : whenever you say no to something, make a calendar notification for yourself: "Don't go to to give talk", "Don't review for $CONFERENCE", or whatever it is. You'll eventually get the notification and feel relieved and joyful.

    I'm cool with conferences being aware that they need to diversify their speaker lineups & taking deliberate action to achieve that. That said, the language used in the invitation is important. "We want you to speak bc it's important to represent dope women doing dope shit." = 💯

    Dear conferences, if you need diverse speakers and attendees, please don't tell me you are reaching out because you need more women on stage. I will deny you forever.

    Love to everyone who wants to be with their family this week, but can’t. Love to those for whom “home” is not a safe or welcoming space. Love to those who are lonely. To those who are ill. To those who have to work. To those who are hungry.

    1. Make marginalized employees do more interviews 2. Lower their review score b/c work not done as fast 3. Be surprised when they quit 🙄

    Uber's tech org is 15% female. Does this mean women are required to participate in 6x as many interviews?
