After my internship ended at The Oregonian last year, I didn't get a single interview until I stopped including my pronouns on my resume and cover letter. I think about that a lot when I see discussions about diversity in journalism and who gets a fair shake in this industry.
Written by either a dude with long hair and a mental disorder or a chick with a bad case of man-face.
If even the journalism industry doesn't like pronouns in the workplace, we might just have a chance.
Like mocking a protected class.
If it bothers them so much, why don't they just learn to code?
Which is weird because all it took was one shrew to raise a stink about being featured.
I've only been aware of the account for a little while, how old was it even? It's just weird it took that long.
Is there an archive of the shrew that got it yoinked? He had to have got her good if she went through the trouble.
I literally saw a timeline post from her a few hours ago on one of the boards I look at but I can't fucking find it now. Maybe someone else has it.
Created some months ago I think. I'd been casually visiting via Nitter.
i didnt even know this existed and im sad :(
Archive.is and archive.org have a bunch of tweets:

My personal favorite from the front page:

"9.5 years, 20+ bylines, why won't Twitter verify me?"
20 articles in 10 years. Shockingly productive.
Jesus.
I write more than that on here.

I have to post this every time the most useless kind of American is mentioned. RIP to this account, it was wonderful.
That's absolutely the case. Journalists will still try to run apologetics for the fact that Muslim Grooming Gangs in the UK rape 9,000 girls a year.
