At #doubleunion meet up, listening to @ashedryden talk about privilege in networking in tech. Empathy is key. Go outside your comfort zone.

Fuck. @ashedryden just shared tale of Latina who attends tech conferences and is continually treated like a caterer.

Everyone will say something insensitive. @ashedryden recommends taking the response at face value, apologizing, learning from the response.

"Loudly, visibly support this work." -@ashedryden (shades of ani's 'it's nice that you listen, would be nicer if you joined in')

You know you're in the right event when two speakers ( @ashedryden and @fakerapper ) so far have used 'cis' in a sentence w/o explaining. <3

Look outside CS for gender diversity. Library/info. sci grads are great w data, but not told that they are. - @ashedryden #doubleunion

@ashedryden says sometimes what people think is needed for help is not what people want so it is good to ask! #doubleunion
