"Angelina Jolie, arguably one of the most desired women on earth, is a role model sent from heaven. If only she had been around in 2004. I know she will empower many frightened young women to take action that could save their lives. Kudos, Angelina, for being brave enough to share your experience and pave the way."

deadlinejedi:

I found a job!

I am now a project manager for The Economist Group in their commercial unit. My new boss said she hired me in part because I had managed long term projects (election coverage) and dealt with short term deadlines (editing hourly newscasts.) #DeadlineJedi.

I thought it’d be fun to depict my job search numbers in an infographic, so here it is, created by Elizabeth Carey Smith of The Letter Office.

People are asking whether my Vine Resume and its media coverage got me hired. I actually got this job through old fashioned networking, a referral by a friend. But I would say that the Vine Resume did impress them once I was in the door.

Many thanks to all the friends, family and professional contacts I met who helped me and cheered me on along the way.

Hillary Clinton at Women In The World 2013, introduced by Tina Brown. Marvelous.

"While reasonable people can disagree about what's funny, the PyCon code of conduct is dead clear that sexual language isn't appropriate at a conference. Codes like that exist because a large number of people can't tell where the line is between funny and offensive, but also because not everyone agrees. The code says, in effect: "Some language will cause some people to be uncomfortable and will thereby shut down the kinds of conversations we're trying to foster at this event." Guidelines that draw a broad fence around iffy language at an event privilege professional discussions--which is what people are ostensibly paying to be there for. This is a case in which we want privilege as a conscious act of prioritizing ideas to build community."
