😎 Happy Neurodiversity Celebration Week!
This subject is very important to me so I've written a very personal - but hopefully also helpful - blog post about being autistic and working with neurodivergent people.

Another great article from Quinn about feeling "stuck" at work.
I've definitely been in the "I don't want to ask for help because I'm senior enough that I'm meant to just know these things" downward spiral.
🎁 Merry Christmas!
My gift to you is the best free computer science course I've ever seen, by @missphilbin.bsky.social.

This course has something for everyone in tech, and is particularly great for career changers who might have been educated in another field
🔥 "We're all too busy fighting fires to think about strategy"
👩🔬 "We just need to write the tests and then we'll be done"
⌛ "The end of October is a hard deadline"
These phrases sound "normal", but they don't have to be!

Victoria McCloud is taking our case to the ECtHR with an all-trans legal team. There's a good chance this case will succeed (and yes, the UK is still subject to this court's jurisdiction).
I gave them some money and if you have money please consider doing so too: www.translegalclinic.com/mccloud
Title: Gender Census 2025. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Illustration: Two boxes, each with photos of relevant dictionary pages.
The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

My new game challenges you to put a little gratitude into the world every day by appreciating one person who matches a daily prompt. likely2.com
Today: think of someone who, if they had an autobiography, you would read it.

Hello! I've spent the bank holiday writing a long and detailed guide to how I plan to respond to the EHRC consultation and I'd love for people to boost/share this if they find it useful:

Letter to Rachel Reeves: www.quinn.mx/post/letter-...
Copied here in case anyone else wants to crib from it. It's regarding the EHRC interim guidance.
New blog post, in response to this judgement everyone is talking about, but hopefully with a new take.
I fight back by clearing a path: www.quinn.mx/post/i-fight...
I do love the shade of pink used for the hearts when you like a post so I'm obviously fickle enough
Yeah - it feels like that already to me! But I guess I'm nervous that it's an American company and apparently run by a dodgy cryptobro so I fear we'll all be leaving it in a shock in 2-3 years' time.
Hello everyone! Finally being convinced to be here on Bluesky. I am keeping my Mastodon account @quinnmx@tech.lgbt because that platform aligns with my values more but I miss some of you who have ended up on here instead so I'm going to try to run them side by side for a little bit...
Thank you! And great to see you too! Not certain I'm sticking around yet. Mastodon aligns so much more with my values and is also better (in my opinion), but it seems like lots of people have ended up here so I'm going to try running them side by side for a little bit
