On today's episode, I speak with Ailsa Blair about the drag community.  Ailsa is a neurodiverse, nonbinary product designer and research leader who founded Drag Me, a company whose mobile app empowers drag artists to connect with their fans.  Ailsa and I talk about topics as far afield as Tech Bros treating employees as tools, features of the Drag Me app, and invoking Rule 34 and Godwin's Law at the same time.REFERENCES:Ailsa Blair’s website:  https://www.ailsamblair.com/Follow Ailsa on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/ailsamblair/Follow Ailsa on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/whoaitsailsaDrag Me website:  https://www.dragme.io/Follow Drag Me on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/dragme.ioFollow Drag Me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/dragme.ioFollow Drag Me on TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@dragme.io(00:00) - Opening credits
