It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement

An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

getting the woman in tech treatment while boymoding is so bizarre. i just drop my voice and turn my camera off and the managers scurry off for a bit. then shithead nerds come back mad the next time i speak out of turn and we go around again

AIUI certain cases here are slam dunks - just waiting for a slot to be available - while others may wait a while. Less than 85 "points" and it's probably futile, but not impossible

not great, but not nothing

if you work in tech or healthcare and want to get out of the US it may be worthwhile applying for Australia's "SkillSelect" 189 visa. Fill out a form with all your credentials and there's a chance you get permanent residency out of it, no job offer required
