This is often what happens with representational diversity: when the incentives change, they abandon it because it was a façade to begin with.

Truly inclusive diversity requires a larger cultural change, which is much more difficult, and has to be a priority directed from the top and rewarded/celebrated at the bottom. This includes things like getting rid of people who won’t get on board and incentivizing improvements which doesn’t always happen. #diversity #inclusion #dei

DOGE Bro’s Grant Review Process Was Literally Just Asking ChatGPT ‘Is This DEI?’

｢ Fox entered the following command into ChatGPT: “Does the following relate at all to DEI? Respond factually in less than 120 characters. Begin with ‘Yes.’ or ‘No.’ followed by a brief explanation. Do not use ‘this initiative’ or ‘this description’ in your response.” He then inserted short descriptions of each grant ｣

10738 - Black Young Kids are Being Handcuffed and Traumatized by Police Officers | Curated Newsletters

This is one article that I wished I did not have to write to bring to the public’s attention how the law enforcement around the country are treating Black kids as young as six years old like criminals without provocation.

Why do we have such a gender imbalance at #fosdem & in tech in general?

A real conversation.

Marty: Maria, what do you think about ABC?
Peter: I don't want to speak for Maria, but... (keeps talking for a few minutes).
Anna: Thank you for sharing your perspective, Peter, but I would love to hear Maria's perspective.

If you observe someone dominating a discussion and answering questions that aren't directed at them, please be an ally and moderate the conversation in an inclusive way🧡

Back in 2020, tech companies expounded about how important it was to "bring your whole self to work." Now, they want you to leave that girl or guy at home, while you, of course, return to the office.

Just imagine if the University of Michigan had been as brave as Harvard instead of closing their DEI office when trump demanded it.
