Recently I've been in touch with many students. Many of them used the pronouns he/him while referring to a manager/leader (not a specific one, but while talking about the role itself). It happened only to students using he/him themselves though.
Whenever it happened, I immediately added further possible pronouns for the roles.
Some of those students - quite puzzled - did not understand my corrections and followed up with a question on what do I actually mean.

If you are still looking for an idea how to celebrate the #iwd2026 this post is for you.
Just ask your male colleagues tomorrow how do they actually manage to combine household, care work and career.
Looking forward to the answers.

Why do we have such a gender imbalance at #fosdem & in tech in general?
A real conversation.
Marty: Maria, what do you think about ABC?
Peter: I don't want to speak for Maria, but... (keeps talking for a few minutes).
Anna: Thank you for sharing your perspective, Peter, but I would love to hear Maria's perspective.If you observe someone dominating a discussion and answering questions that aren't directed at them, please be an ally and moderate the conversation in an inclusive way🧡

On August 10, 1993, Ruth Bader Ginsburg #RBG becomes the second woman to serve on the US Supreme Court.
Ginsburg herself experienced how tough it could be for working mothers. She lost her job as a typist when she became pregnant with her daughter. This firsthand knowledge of workplace discrimination against pregnant women and mothers would later inform her groundbreaking legal work advocating for gender equality and women's rights in the workplace.

Great article on the dual nature of outsider #innovation and its implications.
“How can organizations remain open to the fresh perspectives that outsiders bring? The challenge lies not only in identifying original thinkers but also in empowering them - amplifying their voices, supporting their efforts, and fostering environments where atypical ideas can take root and thrive.”
It’s crucial to combine #constructivenonconformity #psychologicalsafety #DEIB

I think possibly what has given some people such a bad impression of #DEI / #DEIB / #DEIA is that some proponents of it, largely intersecting with social media keyboard warriors, have taken it as a license to act like bullies at work.
DEI is not a pass to bully your coworkers.
I have had someone try to bully me solely because I'm a white guy (and she wrongly assumed heterosexual). She thought this made me fair game to "call me out" for daring to participate in a DEI community. Note that I had said nothing even remotely offensive: she just thought I shouldn't be there.
Her attacking me in direct messages nearly reached the point where I was going to tell her if she wanted to continue the conversation, we could do it with HR present, but I was able to disarm her by telling her we simply weren't going to agree on the subject.

Gibt es Unternehmen die Vorbildlich im Bezug auf #Diversity sind ?
Und wie misst man das? Verdacht/Idee: schauen, wie WENIG weiße able Männer (mensche wie ich also) dort sind , in Führungspositionen, Belegschaft und vielleicht auch Eigentümerschaft... ?
Kann sicher nicht die alkeinige Metrik sein, aber vielleicht ein gutes Indiz?

🔄 Reorganizing initiatives in #WordPress: Should #DEIB, #5ftF, and Mentorship move to the Sustainability team?
🌱 How can we educate that Sustainability is broader than just the environment, including social and economic issues?

I see Mr. Jue's announcement as a further indication of the "aging out" of #amateurradio and a reason for us to redouble our efforts to increase #diversity in the hobby. #DEI #DEIB

#MustRead: How does GitHub enable #DeveloperProductivity at the scale of 30 Billion messages a day? How does it extreme dogfood (octocatfood?) #DevEx for 85% of devs? I was privileged to have a long chat with Akshaya Aradhya including on #DEIB, #RemoteWork, and #Neurodiversity as an essential part of the #DeveloperExperience.

In May I had an opportunity to attend the Linux Foundation #OSSSummit with 3 of my coworkers. I loved my time with the JavaScript foundation OpenJS, #opensource Community Health CHAOSS Project, the #DEIB track, and open source leadership areas like #OSPO.

Your routine reminder that #DEIB is not a free license to bully individual people.
It's a strategy for dismantling discriminatory structures in institutions.
It's a way of ensuring that otherwise-silenced voices have an opportunity to be heard.
It's not a pretty stick to hit your coworkers or classmates with.

It's one of those weird weeks when #DEI is in the news and being talked about:
