Sad and so disappointing. Not what the community (and the world) needs at this moment.
At least the biases and the failure of leadership are now laid bare, and decisions can be made in light of them. Let's redouble our own efforts to make sure that:
- Open software and open technology is valued highly as a societal good
- Paths less traveled, be they esoteric or otherwise, can be beautiful and worthy of exploration and discussion, regardless of whether they lead to utility in the eyes of capital
- It's safe and encouraged to acknowledge that our acts (technical work absolutely included) have political implications
- Trans/nonbinary people are welcomed, celebrated, worthy, and beautiful
Thanks, Devine for shining a light on this and providing leadership around this. You are valued and we appreciate what you've done to rally all of us. Onward.
