So tired as being seen as ridiculous at Mozilla for advocating for these things. Why am I still here?

I think I should go back to programming full-time. More jobs. Clear career progression.

Maybe my next employer will have out queer folks and >1 PoC in leadership. Is that too much to ask?

I'm not going to outlast the co-worker who told me I didn't belong, but I did outlast the manager who gaslighted me for nearly a year.

Hetero couples get married in our offices, but publicly acknowledging SCOTUS marriage equality decision would be too "controversial."

We have zero support for addressing and resolving conflict, which means rampant conflict avoidance and passive aggressiveness.
