    @lindsey @skinnylatte yeah it’s just never ending. I’m possibly unique in academia and tech in that I grew up in some parts of the US that were pretty sexist and racist towards me and it just .. never got better? Like I feel like I kept running to places that people would tell me are safe and then it just wasn’t. I’ve probably survived more cringe behavior than anyone that I interact with on a regular basis and it’s just still a lot all the damn time.

    @lindsey @skinnylatte And of course, every time I try to make it better or enforce boundaries .. how dare I??

    Not wanting to serve on a PC with people that have bullied me in the past? Offensive!
    Not wanting to take a tenure-track job in a state that voted for Trump in 2016? The gall!
    Not wanting women to be sexually assaulted at conferences? Too much!
