When someone with ADHD doesn’t respond, there are several reasons why: 1. We didn’t see it, our inboxes are often a mess. 2. We have forgotten. 3. We know we have to respond but have a difficult time connecting the dots to make it happen. This sends us into a cycle of shame.

This poem by Syrian poet Maram Al-Masri just fucking gutted me.
Poem reading "Study hard, my daughter, your country needs the one who will build it. Do you need coffee? Some tea? You are going to succeed, I’m sure you will get your diploma. How happy I’ll be I’ll throw you a big party. Yes… engineer… it’s a beautiful profession… She left for the university loaded with pens and dreams. One of her shoes was returned to the hands of her mother."

I had an interesting (and now fairly common experience in seattle) where I walk into a restaurant with a “please wait to be seated” sign. But the wait staff ignore me, assuming that I’m Uber eats driver waiting to pick up an order. 1/ – at Seattle, WA

Diversifying the police force doesn’t end racism because racism is inherent to the organization of the institution & its daily operation. Racism is what policing is

So here's the thing. You can only violate people's legal rights and your own word so far before they lawyer up and come after you. I really do hope Musk changes his mind and does the right thing - the employees deserve that. But it'll be fun as hell if he doesn't.
