As I mentioned in my talk at GraceHopper last year, my association with the conference is pure unadulterated gaslighting. And after my talk last year @AnitaB_org decided to double down. Shame.

One of the best parts of being a prof is hearing from alumni and what they're up to. Had a favorite prof in college (or even just one whose class meant a lot to you?) reach out to them once in a while and let them know. They want to hear from you :)

If you are straight and cisgendered, over the next few years you may start seeing and hearing LGBTQ people a lot less. It may be very gradual and subtle, and therefore hard for you to notice. So, I'm going to say now, while you can still see and hear me- this was deliberate.

New Taulbee survey dropped (👍 to @ksm_csed for passing it along): cra.org/wp-content/upl… For those that aren't familiar, it has a lot of info about CS faculty in the US - demographics, hiring, salary, enrollment, etc.

Atoms are binary. They are either intended to be hydrogen or helium. We can't just scrap this worldview just because of a handful of exceptions

A teacher invited me to speak about CS in her 2nd grade classroom in Florida. Then this DeSantis BS emerged and she asked if I would be disclosing that I’m trans. I said yes and she rescinded the invite. This is what erasure looks like. nytimes.com/2022/03/16/opi…

This might be a hot take but I’ll say that the introduction of pronouns at the beginning of a class has always made me, a trans person, uncomfortable because it suspends me—maybe me and one other person depending—in a state of hypervisibility.

For everyone teaching this term: do you recommend students to go to the Accommodations Office at your uni? If you do, are you aware of what that process looks like? Hint - the process is not good. It is not empowering. It is costly, time consuming, and demoralizing. 1/10

I'm reaching out to everyone I have any sort of connection to that works on including women in computing, because I want tips on how to make a similar movement for non-binary students in computing. It's time! Any pointers to people or groups welcome!
