    I'm a big fan of Project Include. I point companies at their material & wish they had more resources. Would love to see more VC support.

    This is a much more actionable list than what's in the decency pledge. Over to you, VCs.

    Education shouldn't be offered only for its presumed social & vocational utility, but in the ways it cultivates community & human dignity.

    wait how about not hiring men bc they might harass women i feel like that's the bigger problem atm tbh (joking ofc but jfc)

    I was just on and a male VC called in to say he doesn't hire women out of fear of discrimination lawsuits. That's illegal y'all.
