Ooooooh this is a good idea. For every person I gif & mute, I will do the same! Bring it misogynobros💪🏻

There were 48 of these this week, which works out to a $2400 donation. Congrats, muted assholes! You just paid for several people from underrepresented groups to go to tech conferences, instead of you 😘

MEN IN TECH: for every asshole misogynist in my mentions, I’m donating $50 to @ProjAlloy - $2400 this week.

I can well afford it. But many folks targeted by hate groups can’t.

MY CHALLENGE TO YOU: use your wage gap money. Match my donations! #assholesforequity

Even if you just do $1 for each ridiculous incel in my mentions, instead of $50 - do it & make each & every one of those dudes an unwilling catalyst for change.

This week, I muted 48 people for misogynistic replies to my thread about the UW CS prof trotting out the same tired discredited shit that Damore tried.

48 assholes x $50/asshole = $2400 for @ProjAlloy #assholesforequity

I want the shit I wade through on here to mean something.

If you DON’T get that shit, here’s a way to use your privilege. Make sure every asshole comment directly benefits developers from underrepresented groups. MATCH MY DONATIONS TO @ProjAlloy #assholesforequity

With @SalesforceOrg’s matching donations, that’s $2400 for people from underrepresented groups to attend tech confs.

Thanks misogynist mentioners! I’m delighted to turn your ignorant comments into useful, positive action.

A thread on @ProjAlloy from one of its founders, the inimitable @starsandrobots:

Thanks!! We’re up to $3000 😱🔥🏆 raised for @ProjAlloy on the behalf of all the anti-intellectual idiots I had to mute this week - all 48 of them - and you folks are AMAZING!

Last night I donated $50 to @ProjAlloy for each piece of shit I had to wade through this week on Twitter. 48 people muted x $50 = $2400!

Can you match? Even $1 each helps make those dudes unwilling agents of positive change. Think how pissed they’ll be 😈 projectalloy.org

Two more this morning! Adding $100 to next week’s donation.💪🏻

White dudes in tech - make some positive change with me! Here’s your chance to do something besides helplessly watch the folks you follow on Twitter deal with avalanches of shitty people. projectalloy.org

Thanks @pythonista for matching my donation!!

We’ve now raised over
✨😱$5000🔥🌈
for folks from under-represented groups to go to tech conferences, on behalf of the 48 randos I shadowbanned from my mentions last week.

This thread made three more randos lumber into my mentions today, so next week I’ll donate (so far) $150💪🏻
