'Sexual harassment, bullying and racist stereotyping are common in the technology industry, creating a culture that drives underrepresented employees out of their jobs, new research has found.

One in 10 women in tech experience unwanted sexual attention, and nearly one in four people of color face stereotyping ...surveyed more than 2,000 people who left tech jobs in the last three years.'

i had chicken nugs and my mood is greatly improved. they are to me like apples are to shinigami.

Good night awooooo 🐺 💤

mastodon is like one of the good episodes of black mirror (sidebar: i have never watched black mirror) because lots of tech anxiety is about people isolating from one another with tech but mastodon has already brought me together with so so so many awesome people in such a short time that i would never have met otherwise

Is it just me or is mastodon and its instances more like irc than twitter?

each instance kind of feels like different irc channels and the open access of instance and federal timelines feels more like an irc feed instead of a the closed boxes of who you follow like twitter.

Seriously the fact they have enzymes that digest the proteins and digest your tongue and the walls of your mouth freaks me out.
