    Not only is this a really cool (although depressing) knitted data visualisation, it’s stylish and warm too! ❤️🧶 https://t.co/heLwNvXkoc


    If I knitted the NSW stripes into something, I could just point to it whenever someone asks “Why did you want to move to Germany?” (Not to mention the fact that it’s often to hot to wear knitting in Sydney.) 🙁 #ShowYourStripes https://t.co/XA5BD65dDM #ClimateAction https://t.co/HNBojCXB2q

    @nikkiricks BA and then manager for me (with a heap of disillusionment on the side), long time ago. Mostly because I was fed up working with and for jerks.


    @nikkiricks Oh, I still had to work with jerk developers. But the gender balance in the BA world is much more even, so I felt like I had more support and wasn’t on my own.


    @lynnlangit @awscloud Really hoping to be!!


    The inspiring @LoveAndMaths kicking off today’s @codelikeagirlau session. I forgot how much I missed hearing Acknowledgement of Country. ❤️🇦🇺 https://t.co/RcJJfkWRK2

    RT @codelikeagirlau: One very cool claim-to-fame for Kris: “I was the first woman to contribute to the code base at @canva.” 🤩
    @web_goddess…


    @joneaves @envato Congrats! Seems like they have a lot of great folks working there these days. 🙂


    @the_nathanjones @joneaves @envato OH YOU TWO. You know you’re both the Best, right? 😍


    Thanks for having me, @codelikeagirlau! Gosh, I miss hearing Aussie accents. ❤️ What an amazing group of tech folks. I can’t wait to see what you all accomplish in the future… #CrackingTech https://t.co/SY6bLNbaus


    A 31-degree day? I’ve forgotten what this feels like!! ☀️☀️❤️❤️ https://t.co/MOVBbJBjqf


    @Malarkey Interesting. I found it really hard to identify with Don. Relatedly, I have Peggy figurine with the sunnies, box, and cigarette sitting below my computer monitor, reminding me every day to kick ass.


    @Malarkey With special thanks to friends @gilmae and @randomknits for getting it for me. ❤️😎 https://t.co/aTCcv4pKfH

    @Malarkey For several years running, I gave a talk at Girl Geek Sydney’s events entitled “Presenting Your Hack: Channeling Your Inner Peggy Olson” with tips for crafting a memorable pitch. I even dressed up as her. I ❤️ PEGGY FOREVER.


    @Malarkey @gilmae @randomknits Zero regrets, my friend.


    RT @pachicodes: Do I know any women or non binary friends looking for a senior role in #devrel?


    KNITTERS – they’re bringing out @SchittsCreek YARN and PATTERNS! 😍🧶 This is amazing. Well done @LionBrandYarn! Absolutely genius. I can’t wait to knit my own David Rose sweater… https://t.co/hJcKskpy3l
