Shame on you @RioTinto. Shame! This is a national and international outrage and disgrace. #ReconciliationWeek2020 theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Prepare yourselves for a long thread about the UNSW decision to close one of its #childcare centres...Tonight when I picked my 3 year old up from the centre that is set to close I encountered staff and parents in tears and absolute shock.
So happy to be able to speak about #gender equity with @EngAustralia CEO Bronwyn Evans in today’s @theage we have so much work to do in engineering, so let’s stop trying to fix women and focus on fixing the systems and cultures!
✨ LEADING LIGHTS ✨check out this month’s @EngAustralia Create magazine to read our perspective on engineering and sustainable development to celebrate #IWD2020 and World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development 💡

In the middle of Australia's #bushfire crisis, some faces have become familiar. One of those, standing to the right of the

How women get written out of history: I'm working on a small blog post about a couple who collaborated closely together. He is the famous one with his own wikipedia page; she doesn't have one. I have to keep correcting myself as this stuff is so ingrained.

I don't assume I know someone's pronoun based on their appearance or name. Like the @nyctaxi commission, which sent guidance on pronoun usage to its 100,000 drivers. newnownext.com/nyc-taxi-driv…

Once more for the people in the back...if you’ve got budget for craft beers & fancy cocktails, you’ve got budget for mocktails & other non-alcoholic options.
Anecdote from a bartender at tech company holiday parties: half of the partygoers are looking for something non-alc.

When introducing a speaker, I use their formal title. Regardless of gender.
A recent study on how often men use a doctor's title to introduce them in formal clinical meetings:
- When introducing women: 49%
- When introducing men: 72%

I'm taking a look at the photos on our Careers page today, and thinking about the message they send to job applicants. #BetterAllies #Inclusion #Allyship
ALT Two photos - one of a paintball team and one of 3 men with raised beers in their hands. With the text, "Got photos like these on your careers page? Don't blame the pipeline."

Before an interview, I send the questions I'll ask to the candidate. To help them prepare and be ready to shine during the interview. #SetThemUpForSuccess #Allyship #Inclusion #BetterAllies

Greta Thunberg told us to act as if our house were on fire.
Australia, our house literally IS on fire. Let's do what we can for right now but let's not lose sight of the massive changes we need to make urgently for the bigger picture.

APA welcomes singular “they” ~
"Writers should use singular “they”: (a) when referring to a generic person whose gender is unknown or irrelevant to the context and (b) when referring to a specific, known person who uses “they” as their pronoun."

Twitterverse: how do you evaluate job candidates on their experience building a more inclusive culture? Here are 2 ideas; looking for more!
🔎“How have you contributed to a diverse and inclusive workplace culture?”
🔎“Tell me about your experience working with a diverse team.”

Women are doing it for themselves: totally fed up and fighting back, many now react to ‘advice’ by asking ‘would you say that to a man?’ Am fanning the flames #stopfixingwomen – at Central Coast, New South Wales
This is @sherylsandberg 's Insta post re a new Women in the Workplace survey from @LeanInOrg and @McKinsey. If even she is acknowledging that women are leaning in just as hard as men and the problem is discrimination can we now put the "women improve yourselves" narrative to bed?
