Cat HicksI have been invited to but turned down 3 conferences talks already this year because they're told me it's new policy to not cover speaker travel under the assumption that your tech employer will cover it. I own my own small business as a researcher and my wife is an academic teaching professor, so I cannot ask my household to absorb that. I just want to generally observe that we are filtering the voices we're going to be able to hear from, with all this contraction

@grimalkina #NameThemBlameThem because I think everyone should refuse to speak and refuse to attend classist priced "conferences" when even community events can do this very basic courtesy
