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.

Another #InternationalWomensDay spent being a badass #femme at my nontraditional job.

A few thoughts:

#trans #women are women.

#SexWork is real work.

Thinness is currently fashionable because you are easier to hold down or kidnap if you're small (& you can't fight well when underfed).

Cops commit intimate partner violence more frequently than almost any other profession, so #ACAB and we do NOT trust them. Even if you're white like me. They kill us, too.

For #internationalwomensday I’m watching a movie with a strong woman. One of the first movies I remember seeing with a woman who wasn’t “just” a “mom”, or “girlfriend” or “love interest”. (Not that any of those things are”just” anything)

Which is ironic, because she literally just called herself “the mother of the future” in this scene.

But of course, she becomes much more than that, especially in subsequent movies.

Sarah Connor became more than a strong woman, she became the saviour of the human race by preparing her son for his responsibility. That’s a fairly high pedestal.

Also, Arnold’s animatronic double is ridiculous in this movie. But @Tree says the real Arnold has a nice bare bum. 😂

Sarah Connor looks toward the future time traveller Reese. She has big 80s hair. And he looks like Huey Lewis.

Disabled women are more likely to experience abuse than their non disabled peers.

We’re often trapped with caregivers who treat us badly & lack the financial support to leave. We may also be physically dependent on the abuser for basic activities of daily living.

Many disability benefits are cut if you marry or cohabitate, which further enforces dependency.

For International Women’s Day help us fight for a universal basic income, better social and medical support and access so that we may regain as much autonomy as possible.
