Had an amazing time meeting wonderful folks looking to prevent #techabuse today. So many thoughtful, interesting and varied perspectives in the room. It made me feel like we might just pull this one off!

Off to Canberra to participate in a workshop on prevention of #techabuse. It's going to be a great workshop, but it speaks volumes about funding in the sector that I am funding my own travel. On the day after we learn of another woman's death, Australia, we need to do better

I'm such a silly tiger sometimes. I logged into my Ring account from work and then remote launched my iRobot floor cleaner just to see it go to work. 😂 #TechAbuse
