Flight last night got cancelled and the earliest they could get me back out was THURSDAY!!! So I'm getting on a shuttle to the larger town for another (extremely expensive) flight at 3 am. Grrrr.

Some of these people have now been fired and rehired TWICE since January. The current state of dysfunction is mind boggling.

OOOPS! UPDATE: Two HHS officials tell me that disease detectives, measles response officers, global health officials and the MMWR staff were laid off by mistake and will be reinstated. But Washington office is still RIFed

But also there were times in that talk where it was very clear this was not a man from within the community. Like you don't know anyone who has thrown an "it" pronoun in there? 👀

I had a professor tell me that there was a gender divide in terms of liking syntax. There's probably social stuff going on there to cause it. It felt bad because I struggle with syntax and didn't need dysphoria ANS syntax-based self esteem issues. But I do wonder if HRT would make me a syntactician

I mean, I feel as if this makes sense. You're taking the survey and you see a new option and then it's like "ooooh, new pronoun just dropped let's give it a try"

I've really enjoyed not listening to it but bearing witness to all the discourse

Awesome, so if universities “proactively” agree to sell out their students, staff, faculty, and academic freedom, the administration will let them keep money that has already been appropriated. And shame specifically on UT for the proactive boot-licking.

Being brought into a meeting of an established group is always so interesting. Like you can see how the personalities kind of mesh and work together. Little inside jokes and I'm just there, probably 30 years younger than everyone else like 🙂 it's 7 am for me and I'm sleepy but also hello
