Doc ImpossibleToday is Trans Day of Visibility, and I fight to be as visible as I can every day, because other people's visibility saved my goddamned life, but more importantly because being trans is fucking beautiful.
Let me repeat that.
Being trans is fucking beautiful.
I wouldn't want to be any other way.
I hope your Trans Day of Visibility today is fierce and joyful.
When we're visible, we win. Always.
Dr Suzanne she/herSomething that happened a couple of years ago was that a FedEx driver used my number to text me outside of delivery related business. I complained to the company and they removed him from the route. He got mad about this and put a security block on my address. For months I couldn’t get my things and there was no way to remove the block. So this is what it’s like in the world when women try to protect themselves from unsafe men.

Sheryl Weikal"Joy is resistance" (and I'm paraphrasing) was used by Emma Goldman to mean that we should live happily in spite of oppression, not as an excuse to do things that enrich and empower oppressors. The whole point was to dance at the revolution, not pay the oppressors to take dance classes.
Tara TarakiyeeAudre Lorde's "master's tools" speech was not about tech platforms. So why does tech discourse keep citing it as if it were? I write about what happens when a Black feminist theorist's words get borrowed, stripped of context, and made to do work they were never meant to do.

javiI didn't realize the facebook execs Mozilla acqui-hired last year have been promoted! I was assuming they were still just heading the ads division of Mozilla, but oh boy, I fucking wish.
Now the former Senior VP of Marketing of facebook (2008-2022, the finest years of facebook) is the CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER of the entire Mozilla.
And the former VP of Ads in Facebook (2012-2022), is now the Senior VP of Product of Mozilla.
Let me repeat this:
The guy who used to lead the facebook team that was literally "advertising to teenagers based on their emotional state" is now the guy who decides the direction of Firefox as a product. But hey, let's keep giving Mozilla the benefit of the doubt uh? I'm sure these people-who-should-be-on-trial-in-the-hague are going to do great things for the community!
edit: Bradwood has been promoted to Chief Business Officer of the Mozilla Corporation, not Chief Financial Officer, my bad
edit2: as @[email protected] pointed out, even if Graham Mudd's title is "SVP of Product", the bio in his page talks about him as the SVP of Product for the Mozilla Ads division specifically. So it may be the case that he hasn't been promoted and he's just on top of the ad division. That being said, Mozilla doesn't have a Chief Product Officer anymore, and that makes Mudd the most senior product person in the entire Mozilla organization, outranking the VP that seems to be org-wide.
