Hiratsuka Raichō, born on this day in 1886, was an anarchist writer, journalist, political activist, and pioneering Japanese feminist. Her efforts helped legalize Japanese women joining political organizations in 1922.
Upon graduating from university, Hiratsuka founded Japan's first all-women literary magazine, Seitō (青鞜, literally "Bluestocking"), in 1911.
Hiratsuka began the first issue with the words, "In the beginning, woman was the sun", a reference to the Shinto goddess Amaterasu, and to the spiritual independence which women had lost. Adopting the pen name "Raichō" ("Thunderbird"), she began to call for a women's spiritual revolution.
Hiratsuka also founded the New Women's Association with fellow women's rights activist Ichikawa Fusae. It was largely through this group's efforts that the Article 5 of the Police Security Regulations, which barred women from joining political organizations and holding or attending political meetings, was overturned in 1922.

The "new and improved" calendar in teams shows everything on it in a wildly incorrect timezone when I open it for about 15 seconds, as far as I can tell this is the only difference
i turned it on for a sec, and instantly noticed that some of it is colored wrong in dark mode, and switch back.
Oh my god I can turn it off! It's not in the settings for some reason so I figured it was just enforced by the org. This will save me literal minutes over the next month I'm sure
I think this was a bug that was fixed quickly, but I remember switching to it and initially it wouldn’t let me book online meetings, it insisted that I needed to meet people in person. Which is a weird thing for a video call client to do.
Edit: even if I were in office on that day if we didn’t do online meetings I’d have to spend my entire day travelling between offices. Which is fine actually since I get paid for it. Hmm. Wonder if I can get a per diem for lunch.
Sorry we all live in UTC-7 now, other timezones are just made up
