I wrote a postmortem of the University of Washington harassment investigation. I don’t get into details but I do explain my perspective and name the men involved, plus some lessons learned at the end.

First warmish day in a while, and Minion got stuck outside. Don’t worry he eventually followed Max back in. #cats #catsofmastodon

The average woman’s career trajectory. The alligator is people asking you to fix harassment.

Well, trip to England is going well so far. My comment is that it looks like Indiana and @npub1f206...d5dd wants to take an exit every time he sees a funny name.

Welp, deleting instagram now too.

Max is getting into the season! Meowy Holidays to everyone that celebrates. (In case you were worried, Max promptly fell asleep, he seems to think this is a new blanket)

Unbelievable. #UWAllen administration has cancelled the annual holiday party student skit because it (obliquely) criticizes the way that the sexual harassment incidents have been handled. I’ve seen the script and it’s a smart satire of students being eaten by murder robots that lampoons recent ethical AI concerns and how students have been banned from protecting themselves (from sexual harasser/murder robots). This is the first time in DECADES, that the skit has been cancelled (the only other time was when the holiday party itself was cancelled in 2020). To cancel the skit as a way to stifle student speech is unacceptable. If you are angry and an alum that has enjoyed previous skits, please email the school’s director, Magda. This is something that she can easily fix. The students are organizing an alternative skit after the official holiday party. I will be using this fund to help them pay for anything that they need (eg props, food).
