July is Disability Pride Month, a time to celebrate the diversity, resilience, and achievements of people with disabilities. It is also a time to raise awareness and challenge the stigma and discrimination that they face in society.

One of the people who exemplifies disability pride is Marlee Matlin, a deaf actress, author, and activist. She is the only deaf performer to win an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in “Children of a Lesser God” (1986). She has shown that disability is not a barrier to success or happiness, but a source of strength and pride.

Haynes is one of the founders of New Q***r Cinema, a movement that emerged in the early 1990s and challenged the norms and stereotypes of mainstream cinema with bold and diverse representations of LGBTQ+ lives and experiences.

We are grateful to Todd Haynes for his amazing contributions to q***r cinema and beyond! 🙌 🌈

As Pride Month opens, we want to celebrate and spotlight POSE, a show that pays tribute to the LGBTQIA+ community. 🏳️‍🌈❤️

POSE is a groundbreaking drama series that explores the lives of Black and Latino LGBTQIA+ people who are part of the ballroom culture in New York City in the late '80s and early '90s. The show features the largest cast of transgender actors in regular roles of any scripted TV show in history, as well as prominent LGBTQIA+ actors, writers, directors, and producers.

For this reason, POSE is more than just a TV show. It is a celebration of q***r resilience, joy, and love. It is a tribute to those who came before us and a reminder to those who come after us. A true testament to the power and beauty of the q***r community.

Happy Earth Day, everyone! 🌍💚 ♻️
Today, let's take a moment to appreciate the natural beauty of the different parks in our hometown of Seattle, Washington.

Seattle has many incredible parks that offer opportunities for outdoor recreation, relaxation, and appreciation of nature. From waterfront parks to lush green forests, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Here are just a few of the many parks in Seattle that we can appreciate on this Earth Day:

1. Seattle Kubota Garden: a beautiful Japanese garden featuring intricate designs, waterfalls, and a variety of plant species. And was created by Fujitaro Kubota, a Japanese emigrant and self-taught gardener, who worked on the garden for over 40 years. Kubota work is featured across many points in Rainer Beach!

2. Washington State Arboretum Park: a 230-acre park that is home to a collection of over 20,000 trees, plants, and flowers, as well as miles of hiking trails and waterways.

3. Volunteer Park Conservatory: a Victorian-style greenhouse built in 1912 featuring multiple rooms with exotic plants from all over the world. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, making it a beloved and treasured part of Seattle's cultural heritage.

These are just a few of the many incredible parks in Seattle that we can appreciate on this Earth Day. Let's take a moment to reflect on the importance of preserving our natural spaces and protecting the environment for generations to come. By visiting and enjoying these parks, we can deepen our connection to the natural world and inspire others to do the same.

Here at Worktank , we are passionate about recognizing the contributions of actors, directors, producers, and other professionals who have broken down barriers and made a significant impact on the world of media. Join us each month as we explore the lives and careers of these remarkable individuals and honor their achievements. Today, we highlight Sidney Poitier.

Sidney Poitier is a legendary actor, director, and producer whose contributions have had a profound impact on American culture. Born in Miami, Florida in 1927, Poitier grew up in poverty and faced many obstacles as a young Black man in the United States. Despite these challenges, he went on to become one of the most respected and celebrated actors of his generation.

In 1963, Poitier made history when he became the first Black actor to win an Academy Award for Best Actor. In addition to his acting work, Poitier became a successful director and producer. He continued to work in the film industry well into his 80s, and his legacy as an actor, director, and producer continues to inspire new generations of artists.

Throughout his career, Poitier was known for his dignity, intelligence, and charisma on and off the screen. He was a trailblazer for Black actors and filmmakers, opening doors for future generations and paving the way for greater diversity and representation in the film industry.

Worktank loves our animals so much we decided to highlight one each month 🐾🌟

So please welcome our April Pet of the Month, Floyd, Evan's studio mate! 🐶🧡

When working remotely, it's a package deal. For Evan, his 10-year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi Floyd is a constant companion always by his desk. Every morning - even on weekends - Floyd waits by Evan's office door until he's let in and Floyd stays beside his desk the entire day. Some days, Floyd will permit Moose, one of Evan's three cats, to lounge on the desk. Floyd's always out of view of the camera, yet Evan's entertaining the idea of installing a Floyd-cam to share the experience with the team and clients.

Stay tuned for our next Pet of the Month in May !🌸

Happy 20th Anniversary, Brian! 🎉🎉

It seems just yesterday when you and I were assembling chairs in an early Worktank conference room and creating demos for telecom clients. It’s a cliche to say that time flies; more accurately, I’d say, time has grown to encompass such a rich and wonderful journey we’ve been on together.

Without a doubt Worktank would not be here today without you. Your skill at capturing clients with your clear synthesis of solutions; your love of solving problems that has led us to our most innovative solutions; and your innate love of and adherence to core processes has kept us at once stable and open to opportunity.
