it's funny because it's not just a cartoon making a point, but very literally the majority of every interview I've had in tech sectors. There have been some stand-outs, very few and very far between.

nearly as often I've had their type tell me that my experience surely couldn't be this way, simply because they've never considered life from another's shoes. well, surely they must be right, right?

after some time one gets used to the layers of self-censorship, of maintaining a type of professionalism and expressive-pefection and poise so consistently that it becomes not second nature but a long-forgotten absorbed rule of existing once inside the corporate doors.

since the diagnosis I've let down a lot of those walls, those perfections, just to see how life would be. it did not make life easier, that can be said politely.

A woman in white sits alone on a chair, poised and professional, in front of a panel of men in suits, most of whom are slacking in one way or another. An aptly poignent caption at the bottom of the panel says, "Describe what you can bring to the company." -- resonating with so many in STEM who exist solely as the only woman in a workforce specialization dominated not by merit or experience - but of one's sex.

Famous graphic with a woman looking powerful. Beside her stands: #WomensHistoryMonth means fighting for democracy and academic freedom
hcommons.socialEarly Modern Diplomacy (@emdiplomacy@hcommons.social)Attached: 1 image It’s #WomensDay2025 and #WomensHistoryMonth. In the last years, we introduced you to female and non-male #emdiplomats or to #emdiplomacy research by female* historians. This year, we feel the need to #standUpForScience and #democracy. Both are under thread – most visibly in the US, but also in Europe, the recent elections in Austria and Germany clearly demonstrate this. We as historians and academics are profoundly aware of the dangers fascisms represents for democracy and human rights as well as academic freedom. (1/5) @histodons@a.gup.pe @earlymodern@a.gup.pe
