This month was a little slower than the last, but that gave me a chance to continue work on personal projects, attend two unconferences (InfoCamp and Accessibility Camp), and get a bit of work done too.
This month’s tweets include some great women-in-tech celebrations and advice, a bit of humor, and some tiny observations about this and that.
As always, if you’re not familiar with Twitter-speak, check out the first fake follow post. You’ll see that I post my own tweets but also tweets of others that I shared.

Karma is real in that people remember helpfulness and good deeds. With websites, report bugs, help fix errors, send friendly suggestions.

It’s not so much a “women in tech” problem as it is a “toxic masculinities in tech” problem, which is an odd thing to expect women to fix.

I helped one of my favorite plugins with a tiny contribution via tweet:

We live in a mysterious world…
Picked up some note cards today for a card sort tomorrow. Why are lined notecards *cheaper* than unlined ones?
