I've never been to Grace Hopper. I don't hold "listening lunches." I don't tell people to "lean In."

I hire, promote, and sponsor, women, and not just white ones. I refuse to tolerate abusive dudes. I am very comfortable having uncomfortable conversations when people create an unsafe environment. I don't let anyone, not even other women, create environments where it's harder for women to succeed. I make sure that women around me get equal pay for equal work. I'm vocal about me doing childcare.

This week, I'm excited to share a conversation with the inimitable Linda Eliasen, recorded at the beautiful Friends Work Here space.

We dug into her past roles, her path from small-town Georgia to the Bay Area and eventually New York, and her lessons along the way.

The conversation we had quickly went past the "<role> at <company>"; we talked about her experiences with therapy and how she actively keeps pushing herself out of her comfort zone.

I've had the idea for a weird kind of Twitter client for years. With Mastodon being all open, I've decided to do the experiment:

What if your Timeline looked like iMessage. A normal timeline confuses me to no end because everything is out of context.

My experiment, Ebou, is a Mastodon client that looks like iMessage. Conversations are grouped by friends and sorted by recent postings.

It is super basic right now, but this already feels much more natural to me 😀
