This crossed my timeline just minutes past midnight, as I was reading an article on the Gen-AI enabled online abuse of women and girls. Only days after learning of a young welder in Minnesota brutally beaten to death at work, by a male coworker who "didn't like how she looked at him".

Thirty-six damn years ago we said "First mourn then work for change."

I am so. Damn. Tired. of the mourning part.

I should only ever have learned these names if I had met them as graduates or working in professional roles in the Canadian engineering sector.

Instead I memorized them decades ago while laying white roses at memorial gardens at other engineering schools.
