    Rebuttal to Google’s response to my EEOC complaint submitted! Reflecting on how fighting pregnancy discrimination has now consumed close to two years of my life. Fighting workplace harassment, discrimination and retaliation is so challenging for victims. It’s not a fair fight.

    Hey! This is random. But does anyone in Seattle have a suggestion about employment lawyers I could have a consultation with? I want someone to look over my offer letters. I doubt things will need to be changed, but I want to start being more thorough with legal things I sign.

    Ticket for an expired meter ($2/hr) in St Paul is $36. Not a criminal offense & doesn't go on a criminal record. Not paying train fare ($2.50) is $180. Misdemeanor & goes on a criminal record, which can impact housing & job. Decriminalize transit fare violations.

    If you're going to call every new person of color or white woman a "diversity hire" then you also have to call every new white man a "privilege hire". Don't blame me, those are just the rules.

    Controversial opinion: "Are attackers with capability X in the Y threat model?" is an ill-formed question. A threat model defines what attackers with capability X can achieve; it's not just one set of capabilities.

    It's nice voting for city council in Portland. Everyone's baseline pretty decent, and we're just voting between "good" and "great".

    I learned this last year: The Basque & an English fisherman were both (separately) in North America pre-Columbus but didn't tell anyone b/c they were there fishing for cod & didn't want competition. The Englishman sent Columbus hate mail saying he knew he hadn't discovered shit

    And then I asked, "what is this teaching about consent?", and it ruined the book for me. 😢

    350+ Amazon workers gave quotes attributed to their real names and positions - showing both the strength of and the urgency of their message. It's an important read.

    Oregon has the same problem. :( Who thought a "short session" every other year and paying legislators less than half the state's median wage was a good idea?

    It seems like a legal risk for cloud platforms to provide services to an agency that's so willing to break the law and lie about it...

    I've debated whether to share what happened the night I went back to Dulles Airport to help two travelers arriving from Iran who were detained for nearly 7 hours. Retaliation is certainly something I've considered as an immigration lawyer, but these days it just seems so real.

    Open Wifi Security (Friday evening rant) 1) Yes, at our hotels we have open wifi as standard. No Client<->AP encryption (WPA/23), and no captive portal to logon to. Let me first explain some obvious reasons for doing so. (Often disregarded by infosec pros.)

    This is my take too. Rogan can endorse whomever he wants; it’s the Sanders’ campaign decision to embrace and hype the endorsement that makes me regret any and all support I gave them over the last few months

    Today's reminder that people can have wholly different mental experiences from each other and not notice for decades. I hear folks with synesthesia also get this realization at some point.
