We did it! 💪 We built the largest human rights case in the history of the European Union. Viktor Orbán's Kremlin-inspired anti-LGBTIQ+ law is a clear violation of what the 🇪🇺 stands for. 15 countries & European Parliament fight with us until everybody is equal! 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🇭🇺

👏👏👏

hurting for so many of my colleagues today. where you work does not determine your worth. unionise where you can. to those laid off today, 🫡 ✊

look, i’m just gonna be a little dubious of an app that is hiring developers but no privacy people. come on bluesky, design with privacy from the beginning
