After 30 years of working with Microsoft, as a partner and then as an employee, I decided to join the Microsoft Team in the Ride MS, to help find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis!
(Please note that 'a world free from MS' doesn't mean 'free from Microsoft!' :-) )
Can you help?
Hi Friends... I'm doing something I haven't done since I was a teenager! I'm participating in a fundraising event where I have to actually do something physical! I'm biking for world free from Multiple Sclerosis! Can you support me?

Friends, I don’t have answers, but do have a poem I wrote the morning after Trump’s election, and which I return to because it holds a dream of grounding ourselves for the big work that is this life. Maybe it will help today? Be good to yourselves, all my sisters with dreams.

The widow of @briancmoran is hosting a fundraiser for NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illness. I looked up NAMI on Charity Navigator and they have a 4-star (highest) rating.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but it really needs to be said that allowing children to make decisions free from social pressure and coercion, rather than forcing them to conform to what makes you comfortable ...is the literal opposite of grooming.

There are refugees & war victims all over the world right now. How can we transfer some of the empathy we feel towards white Ukrainians to everyone else? What additional truths can we see in this situation? #BefriendingDragons – at Issaquah, WA
I'm going to start a thread of these incidents of insidious racism in the media coverage of the Ukrainian crisis, because I've just been seeing so damn many. xitter.cf/MissChisomo/status/149…

Overheard: School meals should be free for everybody. Charging children to eat somewhere they are legally required to be for the entire day is exploitative.

“Takiwatanga” is the Maori word for autism and it means “In their own time and space”.

If this year taught us anything, it's that:
1) Poverty is a policy choice.
2) Workers keep America going, not billionaires.
3) Corporate profits don't trickle down.
4) Health care is a human right.
5) Strikes work.
I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

"Titles don't matter in tech". I used to think the same.
Those around me agreeing were similar to me: guys who were established. Yeah: it didn't matter to us any more. Then I talked with others.
Turns out titles *do* matter a lot.
Especially when you're not in this group.
