Happy Tuesday!

As you might know, IT'S PRIDE MONTH aka rainbow logos !!!!!!

Just kidding, we're not just performative about inclusion, we try our best to listen, understand and be a positive force in this world. What that means is we'll highlight queer folks that have pushed the lever in the tech world for good. 

Visibility is not necessarily the solution, but it's a step in the direction of making sure that everyone — and we mean EVERYONE, is seen. 

To start, let's commemorate Alan Turing, who played a crucial role in cracking intercepted coded messages and providing a formalization of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine. 

As you read through today's edition of tech news, remember that pride month is not about tolerance, it's about acceptance. We're all human beings, and we should be accepted as such ❤️
