building analytics algorithms is all fun and games until you're sitting at your desk for three hours trying to find the single constraint you need to debug for it to run 🥲

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance (TDoR). It is a day when we gather and we say the names of trans people who have been taken from us by transphobia.
I don't know how to adequately explain to a cis world quite how important TDoR is. But I am going to try.

You remember those racist texts Black people were received threatening them with enslavement right after election day? Well a new report is showing that Latine and LGBTQ+ people are receiving similar texts claiming they have been selected for deportation or needed to report to reeducation camps.
