#Europe faces a widening #gendergap in #tech and #AI, with #women underrepresented in core roles and facing challenges in advancing to senior positions. Despite increasing STEM graduation rates, women’s #representation in tech roles has #declined, exacerbated by #AIautomation impacting #entrylevel positions. https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/mckinsey-technology/our-insights/women-in-tech-and-ai-in-europe-can-the-region-close-its-gender-gap?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Interregnum interviews Dr Jacob Engelberg on his new book, Cinemas of Bisexual Transgression. The book argues that the way we look at queer film centres the gay/straight binary and considers what happens when bisexuality breaks the rules.

Representation is changing in curling, as St. John's Brier breaks race barrier
For curlers like Sitaye Penney and Jayden King, seeing people that look like them on the ice is an important step forward for the game they love.

Aucun #homme n'a recu de la nature le droit de commander aux autres
sauf si vous consentez a obéir en se choisissant un maître qui #administre votre vie
cela s’appelle #voter
c'est le principe de #représentation

Blood Trail

The Dublin Disabled Person’s Organisation (DPO) launched last Wednesday, part of a push to create a network of such organisations, with one for each county. It hopes it will bring together disabled voices from across coalitions – groups for the blind, the mobility impaired, the autistic, people with hidden disabilities, and more – and bring that representation to the council

I’m going to be controversial here:
Have a thought for what our #politicians are subjected to, and maybe empathise a bit while still being critical of their policy decisions — because that is our #DemocraticDuty to criticise policies and decisions.

To put it into context: Have you ever tried to discuss any subject in a rational, logical and thoughtful way with a #RWNJ ? How did that go? Did it leave you frustrated? Were you left confused about the arguments they forced upon you? Did you get the run around with no way to get back to the subject at hand? Were you bombarded by so many examples and statistics that you don’t remember a single on to fact check later on? Did you give up and felt like you’re talking to a wall? Did the RWNJ walk away feeling they’s just won the argument? Sounds familiar?

Well imagine going to the office and dealing with this shit day in, day out, 10 to 16 hours a day (maybe more). That is what a polititian deals with. That is what lobbysts (registered or otherwise) do for a living, they act like the RWNJs for whichever organisation pays them to do so.

Think about the coping mechanisms used by those besieged polititicians and what that does to their deceision-making. They get no training to deal with the constant harrasments, the deluge of information, misinformation, disinformation, political blackmail, and stabs in the back.

Is it any wonder then we are living with systems in decline? Am I happy about all this? No.

Who’d want to be a politician in this day and age?

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that most of the big name properties in popular culture about queer men portray them struggling to keep their relationship a secret or on the ‘dl’, especially in recent years as our culture becomes more conservative.

#Money is the #representation of #unbalance. When you put a system out of balance, it breaks. Welcome to the #Antichrist show hosted by Donald #Trump. #Atheists you can just go with welcome to the potential end of #civilization if we don't get rid of that person and his whole crew. Good morning.

@brandonspfit every day I get on the train to go to work , I put on a dress , my makeup and my shoes and then amid the hate looks , nasty comments , I get one person who walks up to me and says “ those shoes are really cute “ or “ that fit looks really good on you “ and it makes it better #trans #transissues #lgbtqia #representation
