This is very sad news.
Ada Lovelace Day was an excellent project supporting/highlighting women and girls in STEM.
"It is with great sadness that I must announce that Ada Lovelace Day, as an annual event and year-round project is closing. "
All this navel gazing in the press about why Dem’s worry even when things look promising. No mention that it is likely because we know that having the most votes doesn’t mean we win the election.
Imagine a professional sport where having the most points doesn’t mean you win the game. There is some additional chicanery where having the most points means you lose. How could you ever feel confident that you are going to win?
Imagine having more points in every game, but still losing most times.
The problem isn’t Dem’s “anxious” natures, it’s playing in a lopsided game.

If Nazis didn't vote for Democrats, it's Democrats' fault?
If racists didn't vote for Democrats, it's Democrats' fault?
If bigots didn't vote for Democrats, it's Democrats' fault.
If misogynists didn't vote for Democrats, it's Democrats' fault?
Maybe we should be blaming the Nazis, racists, bigots and misogynists and not the Democrats? Just a thought.

The self-identitying as a "Black Nazi" lost, so whatever happens, there's at least that. It COULD have been worse.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
