    • History shows everything I’ve ever been to including the “nope that top result in my search engine actually didn’t contain the search string anywhere in its contents and is thus useless to me.” pages
    • Bookmarks are for things I routinely go to for years
    • Tabs are useful results for the projects I’m working on now.
    • Pinned tabs are the pages I visit multiple times a day.

    None of those is a substitute for any other.




  • DEI during hiring is things like:

    • Making sure job postings are put up in spaces where minority populations have a similar chance to see them as majority populations. I.e. post at HBCU and Women’s colleges’ job boards, not just at the hiring manager’s alma mater.
    • Making sure the application portal is accessible to those with disabilities

    DEI during employment is things like:

    • continuing unconscious bias training
    • educating about the existence of diverse backgrounds and how that can benefit your team
    • encouraging communication among your team members about how they approach problems, overcome obstacles, and achieve results

    DEI is not (though the right commonly likes to use it this way):

    • A slur for non-white male presenting people
    • A diversity hire
    • A socially acceptable term in lieu of the n-word

    My initial take away after watching it was pretty much the same. It’s not a new story, it’s an old one that is still going on.

    But I think this documentary is a huge step in fighting for Palestine.

    The documentary did a great job at repackaging that story in a format I think is more accessible to western audiences than just watching Al-Jazeera.

    As for where I find hope, it’s difficult, but in community engagement. Volunteering with existing groups or even just helping people on your own.
