Weekend Links, The Oh Well Edition

I'm not going to comment on the Pao/Kleiner Perkins verdict (which is not technically in yet), except to note that legality and morality are two different standards.

There are still biases pushing women out of STEM.

The natural communication style of men and women is still received differently. Kieran Snyder did an interesting analysis on differences in resumes men and women write. It would be interesting to delve into that finding a bit more deeply. Why do women write a different sort of resume? Does a male-style resume perform better for women than a female-style one does? We know that in some cases, male-style verbal communication can backfire on women because it violates our social norms.

Speaking of social norms... they are the topic of the latest installment in Kate Heddleston's blog series about how tech culture works against diversity.

No wonder women are angry.

I'm not going to read more about the Pao/Kleiner Perkins case because I think I need to ignore all of this right now, and just put my head down and work on my projects. I already know the deck is stacked against me. Sometimes it is best just to ignore that fact and plow ahead.

So, let's have some other links!

Uh oh, I don't have any other links.

So here are two adorable bunnies cuddling:

Also, here is a really nice picture of some of my favorite sea birds.

And it feels a bit mean to laugh at this... but I can't help it.

I just... this dog. pic.twitter.com/z0VrPSuyol
