I just want trans people the world over to be able to live in peace, and I don't think that should be an unreasonable ask or expectation.

omg a faculty member in my department told me about this just a few weeks ago, and I was horrified at the thought of people sitting on beds while being interviewed???? 💀 More seriously, though, I can’t even imagine how uncomfortable it must have been if you weren’t a cis white man…
I thing I sometimes thing about is that university departments were still doing job interviews in hotel rooms in the mid aughts

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.
BREAKING: In AAUP et al v. Trump (wall-to-wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of TItle VI to reshape the University of California system), the faculty and staff of the UC system WON!!!
We were granted our preliminary injunction! @aaup.org

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Not to be annoying on main, but I'm sharing this post again because I'm seeing too many posts about SMT being "better" (joking or otherwise). Yeah, maybe *this year* they are, but all three societies have a huge amount of work to do to even deserve the word "better."
Cold take, but AMS, SEM, and SMT all have huge issues, and none of them are "better" than the other. It's just that pretty much every year, one society/discipline likes to go the extra mile.

Hmm, maybe I should join the American Meteorological Society instead (it's only $20/year for students…!), says the person whose only grasp of meteorology is that the Weather Channel had A+ music.
You know, I'm very happy that the American Mathematical Society and the American Meteorological Society are what pop up first when you type AMS in the search engine. Good for you both, bury a different AMS six feet under.
