The genius of the right-wing crusade against D.E.I. is that the term is amorphous enough that it can mean many different things to many different people.

People love to blather on about how we have to abandon CA when something climate-related happens as if anywhere in the world is safe. Climate disasters now happen absolutely everywhere and there is no escaping it. So.

We can't blame it all on not having universal healthcare or instead greedy fcks who see our lives as spreadsheets w/ risk/profit assessments, but we can say they DO share the blame.

And I won't feel sorry for them having🎯on their backs.

There's no be-all end-all formula for the Perfect Work.
