My grandma had cancer. A doctor had ignored her complaining of throat pain for too long, and it didn't look good. The doctor who told us chemo was an option was pushing my grandma …

No, I mean I don't get promoted for trying to hear what other people say, while managers can't say enough nice things about the hipster-ass who breaks everything he touches trying …

People love to work with me, but managers love all of those flaws.

it was probably mostly because "everyone's doing it", but i'm glad we did. a little harder to bail when the going gets tough when the in-laws' friends have given you a cuisinart. ;…

I didn't want kids until I was 14 and my mom had an oopsie-baby. The intense love I felt for my baby sister changed my mind. And I wasn't wrong -- despite many, many, many drawback…

Why would Ajit Pai care what we think? How much money have we given the GOP? What kushy job do we have lined up for him if he does what we want?

The policies are better than nothing, because you meet people facing the same biases you do and realize you aren't a lunatic weirdo. But in my utopia, everyone takes the implicit a…

Of course your sister should make her own choices, but the pressure on a mom in tech to leave is still absolutely immense. The more of us who tough it out, the better for our daugh…
