I'm looking to collect as many origin stories of women working in software design (UX, IXD, UI, User Research, UX writing) as possible for my website Women of IXD. This is a multi-year crusade to write women back into the history of technology (through the lens of design). This is a companion to the book. What's your story? What challenges have you faced?

I wouldn't characterize right wing Christians as the victims of a hoax at all.
#Evangelicals knew exactly what they were getting when they voted for #Trump, and they LOVED it. They wanted an abortion ban, he promised one, and he delivered. They still want to end democracy, and he's as much as promised that during his second term.
