Riley is such a beautiful name for a trans women

i know everyone is making their little jokes like "haha it's me and my 3 girlfriends" or whatever but they're lying for comedy. i want you to know it's actually going to be me, the other two hosts of @nogodsnomayors.com, and one lucky contest winner

Issue 1, first printing of Wic+Div in the foreground. A blurry painting of women performing cunnilingus under the Hebrew word for "Holy" can be seen in the background.

Started rereading @kierongillen.bsky.social & @mckelvie.bsky.social 's Wic+Div a decade and a new gender later and wow, just devouring it.

Absolutely fits the bill of "yep makes sense I read this right before coming out".

Thank you for this refuge 💜💞✨

You can tell I'm a Philadelphian now, fully assimilated into the beautiful garbage

it's possible that Chicago and O'Hare suck and should feel bad, but it's also possible that I forgot to take my stimulants and am at the trough of my estrogen cycle, so who can say

For every Nobel that goes to a criminally under-recognized woman scientist (Brunkow, Karikó), or fails to go (Candy Lee), a week of mourning and reform for an academic system wherein you can do Nobel-prize-worthy-work and still end up without a conceivable path to being a professor.

I have such wonderful luck, been to Oregon for cumulatively like 10 days the last two years. It rained one day, briefly.

I had a lovely time in Portland today, beautiful city

Y'all I'm blown away. I grew up here with Newt fucking Gingrich as our house rep. Couldn't be happier to see how Georgia is changing.

No for real, even 6 years ago a 24 year old Black man in Cobb County sure as hell wasn't just 87 votes from a MAYORAL SEAT

In Cobb FUCKING County of all goddamn places.

Seeing this bubble grow from the front row and yelling into the void as we head towards 2008 part deux is making me lose my mind.

Hi Jay, why has your institute illegally terminated the MOSAIC program then?

Its heartbreaking 💔 she passed away at home with her family after battling metastatic lung cancer for the last few years

I'm just two episodes away from finally hitting everyone's least favorite TNG episode, I'm so excited

We were honored when, after many months of work, our proposal was recommended for funding, particularly as only 36% of new NSF grant applicants are successful on their first attempt. We became concerned, however, when we were presented with the terms and conditions we would be required to agree to if we accepted the grant. These terms included affirming the statement that we “do not, and will not during the term of this financial assistance award, operate any programs that advance or promote DEI, or discriminatory equity ideology in violation of Federal anti-discrimination laws.” This restriction would apply not only to the security work directly funded by the grant, but to any and all activity of the PSF as a whole. Further, violation of this term gave the NSF the right to “claw back” previously approved and transferred funds. This would create a situation where money we’d already spent could be taken back, which would be an enormous, open-ended financial risk. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core to the PSF’s values, as committed to in our mission statement: The mission of the Python Software Foundation is to promote, protect, and advance the Python programming language, and to support and facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers. Given the value of the grant to the community and the PSF, we did our utmost to get clarity on the terms and to find a way to move forward in concert with our values. We consulted our NSF contacts and reviewed decisions made by other organizations in similar circumstances, particularly The Carpentries. In the end, however, the PSF simply can’t agree to a statement that we won’t operate any programs that “advance or promote” diversity, equity, and inclusion, as it would be a betrayal of our mission and our community.

Énorme ❤️ sur la Python Software Foundation qui vient de refuser un financement de 1.5 M$ du gouvernement américain qui comportait une clause anti-DEI.

Une décision exemplaire d'intégrité pour que Python reste fidèle à ses valeurs.

Naomi!!!! Congrats sis 💕 so happy for you

Yes, I'm sorry. It's heartbreaking 💔

Rest in peace, Zara

You were one of a kind, and though we grieve heavily, you will live on through us, our ideals, and actions. I love you Zara, you deserved so much more, but I'm glad you're not longer in pain 💔

You were one of the first trans women I met online, I can't remember a time being out without you in my life. I'm so grateful for your influence on my life and others', and I'm so happy to have gotten to spend time together in person.

Zara Weinberg was a brilliant, loving, and beautiful woman. She inspired everyone who she interacted with, and always strived to make the world a better place for everyone. Tho the world is a little less bright today without her, her memory will always be a blessing.

She was truly one of the best.

Zara Weinberg was a brilliant light both in and out of science. She changed the lives of everyone she interacted and loved for the better. Her legacy will live on through all of us and we will fight for a better world on behalf of her memory.

I think it's a good idea. you can just talk about the awards as you said in another response, and it shows your continued love for art over time.

I hope you feel better sooner than later!!
