An all-female DIE crew of whores crashed a #Boeing P-8A.
But the media will just keep it quiet 🤣. (Notice how news outlets always say “A crew of nine” and never mention them. But if they rescued the plane, feminists will be jumping for more DIE hiring).
On the good side, it means the US can’t effectively invade places with more DIE crews like these.

Instead, workers may have higher priorities, such as being treated ethically and with dignity and being paid an appropriate wage for their labor.

Getting ready to start a new leadership position and thinking about how to build a diverse software engineering team. Ran across this research article and found several points very helpful:
1. Candidates look for evidence of diversity in your company and team. A public-facing website gives that answer to anyone looking.
2. A job description has to reflect the core skills and be cautious about additions that hinder diversity. Easy example, requiring more than 10 years of IT leader experience for any role. What population do you think that MIGHT target?
3. Ensure the team / organization is NOT typecasting specific roles. Sometimes front-end dev is not seen as difficult and is often more associated with women.
4. Coworker practices can undo all of the great leadership your organization is trying to instill. If you have team members that are giving lip services to DEI in front of you, but are DEI-deniers during code reviews, everyone loses.
What if language didn’t even include a word for “#disability”?
The Xhosa community of AmaBomvane in South Africa does not see disability in a person, and its rituals are mandatory for all people, according to a researcher who spent several years interviewing members of the community.

I've been sleeping on Tosin Sulaiman's podcast "Made for Us," but just caught the latest episode on innovation + disability inclusion with @microsoft 's Hector Minto.

The LISA @LISA accessibility guidelines for meetings are now online: https://lisa.pages.in2p3.fr/consortium-userguide/com_diversity_accessibility.html
I'm grateful to our DEI committee chairs for letting me make these publicly available on our User Guide. I think it's important to set a positive example and show that large organisations and scientific collaborations can strive for high quality inclusive, accessible meetings.
Tried to use Google Forms for a demographic survey, and naturally they don't let you change the language on the write-in option, so if someone needs to write in an additional thing they have to mark themselves as "other". I literally cannot use a form that requires people to "other" themselves, Google, please join the rest of us in the 21st century.
If anyone has a fave (free) online survey tool that doesn't do this, I'd be super grateful for recommendations!

‘We are easy targets’: professor speaks out on quitting over
👉Republican culture wars
“I have this morning informed my dean that I will step down from my position at LSU at the end of the school year,” Journalism professor Robert Mann posted on X.
“My reasons are simple: the person who will be governor in January has already asked LSU to fire me. And I have 👉 no confidence the leadership of this university would protect the Manship School against a governor’s efforts to punish me and other faculty members.”
Mann’s resignation comes amid the 🔺GOP’s fight to seize control of American colleges and universities🔺.
Rightwing lawmakers this year introduced more than👉 50 bills across 23 states aimed at eliminating faculty tenure, a longstanding job protection policy to protect academics from outside interference.
Florida, Texas, Tennessee and North Dakota this year enacted legislation that would 👉unravel Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) efforts at state colleges and universities, making it more difficult for higher education to protect marginalized students.
Earlier this week, Wisconsin Republicans used Universities of Wisconsin 👉employee salaries as a bargaining chip against the school’s fight to protect DEI spending.
Professors like Mann are unwilling to remain on the frontlines of the GOP’s battle on higher education – especially without the backing of university leadership.

Hi #nonprofits! I'm looking for #recommendations!
An org in Minnesota is ready to start doing some work with their staff (they've done some nominal #DEI work) and I said I'd do some research re: good next steps.
Have you hired consultants that helped your nonprofit begin to truly change? To address #racism within the organization and the services they provide? What programs or paths have worked for you?
We don't want a "get DEI certified in 15 hours!" type of deal. We want to really dig in.
Every time you see an event that lets you down on Health and Safety, look for an event that hits the mark. Then, celebrate them publicly!
There are so many good examples leading the way here. Shining a spotlight on them provides positive reinforcement _and_ illuminates the path forward for events that have work to do.
We'll link to some good examples in the replies. 🧵

@jonobie @mekkaokereke @taatm FWIW Big Tech internships and hiring also tend to disproportionately favor candidates from groups that are well off - even in companies that take #DEI seriously - because the pipeline is set up that way.
Unfortunately that's also going to take a long time to fix... but yeah unpaid internships are even worse

>corporations don't value DEI because they abhor their history
I was added to the #DEI council for the last company I worked for and was initially excited to help out, but around 3 months later my team was re-org'd and half my team was moved to India. 1 guy on my team in Cali made $200k and a guy in India doing the same job made $25k. #Equity should not depend on your postal code. I raised my concerns and shortly after I was let go.
It's not just the #writersguild For the first time in *history*, the #UAW is striking against *all* the major automakers, and they are *winning*:
The automakers are getting desperate. #Stellantis - #Chrysler's latest alias, reflecting the company's absorbtion into corporate-human-centipede of carmakers - has mobilized its #DEI programs, trying to get marginalized people to believe that scabbing is a liberatory activity:

Take #DEI, a favored target of the right. It's undoubtably true that #DiversityInclusionAndEquity initiatives have made some inroads on correcting bias in hiring decision, with the result that companies get better employees who would have been excluded without this explicit corrective.
However, corporations don't value DEI because they abhor their history of hiring bias.

"It’s only after they spend years being told they’re “non-code contributors” by a culture of code supremacy that they identify their work as “non-code,” but even then it’s only how they identify it within the problematic culture.

Accessibility is along the same lines as #dei initiatives imo. With both there's this huge misconception.
There's no point at which you're going to stop trying to be better. There is no celebratory moment of being "done." Working toward a moment like that is a recipe for burnout.
How could there be a "done", when we are learning more about each other every day? The practice is the point.
So I spent the early part of this week at a DEI conference full of women in telecom. I'm a terrible networker and most of these people don't really jam on my subjects, but for all that, it was really honestly fantastic to be both the majority (female) and this time the minority (I'm white) and also frankly outranked by so many VP and SVP women of color. People need to see fabulous confident professionals of every shape, size, color, gender expression and sexual preference. Just seeing a couple hundred non-dude folks from such diverse backgrounds with crazy impressive resumes exist in one place was good for my tired professional outlook #dei
