It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

(and in case the internet does the internet, everyone on the call should be fully aware which note taker is in use and why, and have the option to ask for it to be disabled, but then it would be nice if everyone helped take notes instead of me struggling to run meeting and take notes)

Okay, it's time. I have a prized Cult of the dead cow Zippo lighter. These simply do not exist anywhere. But a CDC member is hurting and I want to encourage donations to the GoFundMe, so out it goes. Details in thread.

Years ago I did an experiment, I applied to various jobs with 2 of the same resume. Nick got contacted more than Nicole. Should I do the experiment again? the application process today is very different than it was then, so not sure I could replicate it again, b/c gender is asked, but worth it?

Not an easy watch/listen, but important new video from @deviantollam.bsky.social about the way a disabled trans prisoner has been abused and deprived of rights in federal prison. There's both a request for legal help/advice, but also a way to send letters to Kara to try to help her morale.
