Sorry the dispatch is late again this week and pretty light on content.

Sorry the dispatch is late this week and pretty light on content.

I'm still deep in the busy season at work, so content is a little light this week.

This is part of a series of posts about my experiences as a tech feminist killjoy.

This is the first in a series of posts I am working on about being a tech feminist killjoy.

As mentioned last week, I'm deep in the busy season at work, so content is a little light this week.

I'm fast approaching the super-busy time of the year at my job, so the dispatches may be a little light for the next couple months.

I added a table of contents this week, so you can skip around.

I have been meaning to write up some actionable advice for conference organizers about building a diverse speaker lineup for ages.

Time for another conference recap!

There was a fabulous talk at Madison+ Ruby today about boundaries and consent by Haleigh Sheehan entitled "Y/N?

Hello, again!

Welcome to Dispatches from the Firebees!

In case you missed it, I "left" Twitter.

Dear Twitter, I'm sorry, but I think it's best if we take a break.

A while back, I wrote about how I use twitter in On Twitter.

Myself and some others had a bunch of tweets today that led to some frustration.

I wanted a place on the blog to store random quotable things that I adore, so I'm doing that here.

In the last week of June 2014, I traveled to Portland, OR for AdaCamp Portland and Open Source Bridge 2014.

I started making up humorous feminist terminology and wanted to keep track of it somewhere.

I am trying something new with this talk.

I left gittip because reasons.

I've been thinking about this topic for a long time now.

Note: the interactive parts of this post do not work any more after years of migrating to different static site generators and much of the code being out-of-date.

I have been writing a lot lately about things that I think allies should not do.

I recently covered a bunch of "bad ally" behaviors.

This post was originally published in Model View Culture's abuse issue on April 28, 2014.

Several people have asked me about the Tech Conf Speaker Support of Awesomness speaking support group that I run.

This week, I received a request from an employee of a large technology company to come give my impostor syndrome talk at their office.

This weekend I attended and spoke at my first ever PyCon.

This post frankly discusses issues related to boundary violations.

I recently covered a bunch of "bad ally" behaviors.

The topic of bad "allies" has come up a lot lately.

Earlier this week, a coworker who understands my enjoyment at rage humor brought me a special present from the past -- a pamphlet titled "Interviewing Women Candidates" created by the U.S.

The topic of making mistakes and apologizing is pretty well tread ground, but I wanted to collect my own thoughts on the matter and figured it couldn't hurt to share.

I'm trying to go mostly vegetarian again.

Everyone else is writing one of these end of the year blog posts, so I suppose I will jump on that bandwagon too.

I use twitter quite a lot, and I've been meaning to explain why and how I use it.

Some new folks at the Girl Develop It Pittsburgh code and coffee tonight were asking me for recommendations about open source projects to contribute to.

I finally redesigned my site and moved it over to a static site generated using Middleman and hosted using Github pages.

This originally lived at Storify, but I am migrating off of their service because they continue to allow it to be used for harassment and show no interest in addressing it.

If you have been here before, you may notice the site looks different this week.

Follow-up I created a google group for us to continue these conversations.

I keep saying that impromptu, unwanted feminism 101 discussions are exhausting and not a good use of my resources.

I have been feeling some burnout this year as a programmer.

Julie's Lean In Livetweets If you missed the live part of my Lean In livetweeting, you can check out most of it over at Storify.

I mentioned this on twitter late last night and again today, but I want to repeat it here for those who missed it.

Note: If you link this (especially on anything high traffic), please send people to the copy on tumblr.

One of the issues I mentioned in my last post took place at intern lunches that were optional and off-site at local restaurants.

My first experience with working in tech was an internship in college.
