10 years ago I organized my, & the, 1st #DjangoGirls event in Seoul, South Korea: 70/425 applicants accepted, it was a huge success. And was the start of a wonderful decade that launched my #Django community involvement and career. 💻 I feel grateful, proud, and inspired to keep paying it forward.🧡

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

The thing everyone can do right now is to find your lane if you don't already have one and work that lane diligently and with commitment.
