Hi other tech folks! Does anyone have recommendations for trans-friendly recruiters on the West Coast?
I’m a lead product manager with around a decade of experience. Looking to shift back to a salaried position after consulting the last couple years.
Reposts appreciated, thanks!

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

Seems like every few months there’s a new study showing giving homeless people a small amount of money (instead of stealing their stuff and putting them in jail) results in them finding jobs and homes. We keep spending money on these studies rather than doing what they indicate will work.
Many, many, MANY studies show that the cumulative costs of harassing homeless people—cops, prison, jail, etc—are much more expensive than just housing them and providing income, and that doing those things helps people get to the point where they’re not in crisis any longer.
We choose cruelty.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I was at the Simple Plan concert for #CanadaDay with my siblings and their friends in Pierrefonds-Roxboro. Band's originally from the West Island like I am. Mayor gave them the keys to the city.
It'd been raining and a rainbow was touching the stage. Later, a cloud that looks like Canada showed up.

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

This is so heartbreaking and makes nothing better and no one safer. It is the punitive act of an administration that values fealty over human health.
A top scientist at Harvard who has spent years unraveling the mysteries of tuberculosis woke up Tuesday morning and discovered an order from the federal government telling her to halt her research.
