I’m late to
#LongCovidAwarenesDay
here but a year ago I was hospitalised with the rare Stevens-Johnson Syndrome after Covid (1st and only) activated EBV then destroyed my immune system. It’s still very broken and I’m propped “up” on a lot of immune suppressants.

Four weeks ago I discovered I am still shared on a Google Drive folder of photos my abusive ex controls and is actively putting photos into.
At the same time I learned there is **no way to remove your own access from a folder you have been given view-only access to**.

👋 Heyooo. I left GitHub last week to focus on my Long Covid recovery. For an undetermined amount of time.
I would love for this to not be necessary and I will miss my colleagues and the work we were doing 💜
😷 Also, the pandemic is ongoing, just fyi.

I am shaking. This is so frustrating. Am I out of my mind? This is a huge bug.
Anyone with your email address can view-only share something with you and lock you into content they control...forever?

Oh my gosh this week I re-joined
@GitHub
!!!
I'm the PM for GitHub Sponsors now and I'm so excited to work with the people on this team AND to work on open source in this way!
It's really too much to write in a tweet but if you know me then you get how this is 💖

I have been able to reproduce this bug and have been dealing with support all month.
THIS IS A REALLY BAD BUG.
I can easily see how it can be exploited to harass.

👋 Hi!
I'm leaving my current gig and looking for what's next 💻 🎉
I ❤️ Node.js, open source, Electron, making the web more approachable and working on a team with rad people!

Today Support said that if you "Remove" but refresh, click back or forwards you are silently re-subscribed and they aren't sure if that's a bug. IT'S A BUG!

Something I’ve been silent here about—
Earlier this year I bought a one-way ticket out of Portland, put what I could into a pod and left a 5-year relationship that was sexually abusive, coercive and controlling.
46
57
598
Also, their way of "actually" "removing" yourself takes the folder off the Shared With Me page but all the contents still show up in searches and all of your access is given back as soon as you click on it from a search result. This is not "removed".

I am trying to be a cool cucumber and provide helpful responses and reproductions steps—I want this bad bug to get fixed for us all—but it's slow going and each time I have to go back into this really upsetting folder 😞

Ok, another disappointing and frustrating update in which Google says it is the intention to lock you into content controlled by another user:

463
Not only do I have to keep going into the folder, seeing the content and logs of activity, but the feeling of lack of control, the ability to not be able to remove myself from this content—from this person. It's bad!!!!

Thanks y'all for sharing 💕 people have reached out and there are more eyes on the bug now so🤞

And to be clear, removing the folder from Shared With Me was only temporary, because of the scenario they describe I was silently re-subscribed and it is back.

Reminiscing about my last manager at GitHub who laughed when I wrote "work with women" as a goal and said "nothing we can do about that" among other absurd things like "try and take up more space as a woman" and "you make enough money" (he still works there)

Heeeey! Two weeks ago I resigned from Glitch 🎏.
It was a packed 2 years, at the end of which I was the Director of Engineering. I learned a lot and made some very wonderful new friends.
I don't know what's next but thankful I can take the time to reflect on it all 💕

So excited about this! I have been working as a Data Fellow to open source the Protocol and it's open now! 🎉
The repo includes guides and sample data to help people measure public life and make better decisions for cities. And learn from each other!

It takes more than realizing things are bad (which is hard enough) to be able to leave, too many women do not have the financial resources or emotional support of friends and family to leave. I am lucky. Believe women.

As I opened up to friends, *every other woman* I spoke to told me her story too. The news may seem like a lot now but it doesn’t begin to scratch the surface of this problem.
I think—all the time—about my silence. How it protected him while he abused me & protects him now.

I felt so alone in this relationship for so long and leaving felt impossible. But once I did I realized how very un-alone I was—not only how many women I knew had been through similar things with men but how many friends I had and could lean on.

I left GitHub with the goal of finding an eng team with non-men, joined Mongo and a team with one which was shortly made EU-only and I ended up on a different team and the only women again and so just really happy to finally have a found a spot where I'm not alone 😊

I’m also very lucky I had savings enough to do this at all—it cost upwards of $10k to logistically leave him and get settled again months later.
I left someone well known in the same part of tech that I’m in, golden to many and that knew nearly everyone I knew.

I didn’t say goodbye to friends and only one even knew why I was leaving—I’d never told anyone what it was like until I told her and she gave me the courage to leave.
Compounding things, I’d also recently quit my job so when I left I had to sort out a whole new life.

But I am incredibly lucky—I am close with my family and was able to go home to my parents and stay with them while I looked for jobs and the friends I opened up to supported me completely.

And how really hard it is to feel you can speak out.
FWIW, I brought up his behavior to him for years to no avail, only to be made to believe it was my fault. When I left he did not deny a single thing I cited.

I had no idea what my life would look like after leaving.
It was a really difficult time for a while and it’s still difficult in many ways—there’s a lot to process, unlearn, and there’s a lot to read every day to remind me how far men like this can get.

Yes, I see the irony in someone who has built their career opening data and code while keeping quiet on why I left or why they were asked to step down from their own meetup.
