It is the true teacher who leaves the class knowing they have learned the most.

Crazy deep into the Wayback Machine, which of course was not meant to ever exist - URLs should have stayed that way, many factors didn't lend to that, including self-destruction of sites and blogs just as artists will set fire to their own paintings (burned a lot of my stuff.)

As I age I feel my purpose is waning it sucks but I do involved despite being 100% disabled and 9 years expected terminal death. one. I care about history I was taught to learn and question it too. Any ideas you have would be wonderful to hear thank you so much for listening.🌎

This is what I have left I have a life that I had no idea what happened and it was wonderful and I'm grateful for all of that and grateful to all of you for keeping me alive so long so why not remember us or are we just not worth it? Maybe we're not philosophically speaking.

, my point is to find a better way especially as we're becoming such a huge industry to acknowledge as many people's work as we can that is influential. Is it me who feels I want to leave something Worthy or is that just a fleeting part of life couldn't have kids lost my husband.

I wonder if we don't need some kind of organization or Coalition of women Professionals in the industry who have made significant contributions and continue to do so if we're still able. I just hate seeing such hard work and progress. I'm not here to criticize at all not my point
Rachel Andrew has done great work on this Jay Hoffman as well and there are still huge gaps I'm working the best I can in my limits and capacity at this point to write a new book as well as look at why these problems persist. So many women and such good people and such hard work?
I love the work so far and I see Christina and Dana. Are we not helping be our own worst enemies perhaps I know I never advocated for myself to make as much as the guys I didn't know it was supposed to I didn't know they even fought for more money or resources I really did not.
Shelley Powers was technical from the start and I was frankly intimidated by her intelligence at that time. Dori Smith was also highly technical in scripting in JavaScript specifically early on and it's more complex as more and more women came into the field.
I apologize I use text to speech input on my Android and it's not wonderful. Laura Lemay was vilified despite having an incredibly good book that changed the course of popular understanding of HTML in its early days. Lynda is an icon of design and education for designers.

Humans actually were the first computers and guess what we were the ones who really were influential until a certain point. Sir Tim berners Lee's mother was an early computer scientist and that matters. This is going on forever and it's really disheartening.

It's very hard to tell these stories in the details and I am frustrated and I just spent the last week digging up the entire history of the transition between what we know is web 10 now and Web 2.0. We've lost a lot of research documentation or never had it I understand that

When Laurel and may wrote her book on HTML which was really the first widely read book on markup I wrote mine in 95 it was published in 96 followed by 34 more and one underway look at Linda what she did look at chili powers and Dory Smith who influence JavaScript and scripting
I think it's wonderful and I think the timeline needs a lot more people it really does there were people that do things like write books or shape ideas or lead revolutions or become compromised and had difficulties or had to fight to help people and don't get recognized

Laura lemay, Lynda Weinman Shelly Powers, Dori my era and more! I am exhausted by these huge gaps in history. Why I wonder do I feel so compelled to be remembered for hard work and contributions? Would be a nice thing but most don't care. Some believe truly believe I died in 2013

Why do we just have to choose one or the other canopy both to be honest I preferred Alice in Chains to all grunge Rock otherwise with respect for everybody but Alice in chains and Mad Season were my faves.
Not the only woman missed over. I am often marginalized and ignored in my case who knows why perhaps ignorance, age, emotional volatility, a terminal disease or simply unawareness. Does it hurt sure. A postmenopausal Widow is not a viable candidate for our species anyway right?

Rolling Stone has politicized the news of psychiatric meds and serotonin as 'right wing' when it affects all Humanity. To make this a partisan USA issue is illogical and demeaning to Human Rights advocates and suffering and stigmatized patients globally.

Thank you both for the heads up my dears. I had been cc'd and will likely have more to offer up opinion and attitude-wise after the weekend.
