I wonder if people are confused about their repositioning.
An AnitaB.org press release dated April 24, 2025, stated its mission as:
> “to get women in tech skilled, hired, promoted, paid, and funded so that they can thrive, lead, and drive innovation for a more equitable and sustainable future.”
The current mission page instead says:
> “to get our community in tech skilled, hired, promoted, paid, and funded, so they can thrive, lead, and drive innovation for a more impartial and sustainable future.”
It's really hard to tell from their current mission statement who "our community" is.
Since DEI became a curse word, you cannot say you do anything for women anymore. I think it's pretty clear who the community still is, but with snowflakes running the government, wording suffers.
I so hate that trying to help historically disadvantaged groups some extra help is considered bad. Like I get not making a group extra powered, but to help women in tech or research into Black prenatal care just seems absurd.
Ugh. A bunch of our students already booked travel and rooms. What a horrible situation all around.
were there any hints that this might happen at all? so abrupt
I have to admit, I suspected the Secretary of War cancelled the funding

Is there something wrong with that?
How will you get your fake internet points now?!

Path dependence causes problems, it's better to make sure you can just use current state instead.
Sorry to be dense. What does that mean?
“Snowflake” used to be a pejorative to describe the political left…
every accusation, confession, etc.
