I had a reminder last night that there's still a long way to go. A man banged repeatedly on my door very late last night, and it scared me so badly (I was alone). A neighbour came over, and we figured out it was a teenager doing a stupid tiktok challenge.

I'd love a commitment from some of you that you will try hard to see things from their viewpoint if you can.
It's great that I am no longer the only woman speaker on the conference stage. But gosh darn I can't wait until I'm not the only one on the technical track (sometimes there's 2 of us).

I see positive change, improvements. But I also still have women tell me terrible stories, regularly. Because I write books and have followers, people generally treat me quite well. It's all the other women who I want to be treated well also. Let's fight for THEM.

I still want us to congratulate amazing women on this day. But I also want us to think about how all of us can do better and be more inclusive going forward for everyone.

But the panic I felt over my physical safety was very real. That the first thing I assumed is violence. Not a prank. Because that's a more likely threat model.
I can't wait for the day that is no longer true.
