Stanford's “Elimination of Harmful Language” Initiative

Being brought up in multicultural Australia, I was colourblind [1] to race. I find it hard to even remember what ethnicity my peers were.

As such, I have no hate of other races but I'm filled with hate every time my "git push origin master" fails because the branch is now called "main".

[1] How was this word not on the list?

Add aliases to your gitconfig. Not gonna solve the frustration but at least it doesn’t have to be a trigger (oops). Also, I much prefer trunk over main/master anyway so I just went back to that.

I hope you've got a big trunk, because I'm going to put my bike in it

Thank you! I had no idea one could alias branch names. Why be woke, when you can be aliased awake.

"Being brought up in multicultural Australia, I was colourblind [1] to race."

Tell that to Ibram Kendi.

He can't believe that kids in racially integrated environments are efficient thinkers largely concerned with simple priorities. Is Billy a bully? Should I pick Alice first in the game on the sandlot? Can Jose help me with this math problem?
