Ten minutes into @ashedryden’s talk at Double Union meetup and I already wish everyone I knew could be hearing this.

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.

"'Pay people equally' doesn't sound revolutionary, but it is." -@ashedryden

"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

The sad state of tech in 2013: @ashedryden calling for equal pay, and @cindygallop calling for diversity - our industry is that of dinosaurs
