Reposting because all of my jobs have always come from someone in my network referring me or knowing someone who needs a science communicator 🤞

I'm so incredibly grateful for every friend and stranger who donated to my GoFundMe It enabled me to keep paying the bills while I was recovering. Community really came through I have some gig work starting up, so I think I'm finally out of weeds and back to self sufficiency 🤞

It would be amazing if cis people could attempt to grasp how it feels for trans people to hear that large groups of Americans are being tested to see if one of us is hidden among them - because they'll be testing for your personal minority next.

The real American 🇺🇸 “brain drain” isn’t that a few established scholars might get new jobs outside the US, it’s the enormous number of grad students - particularly international grad students - who can’t or won’t study in the US now or in years to come. That’s the body blow.

Visited the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago today Alternated between feeling a glimmer of hope for the future, and feeling like I was attending a funeral for American democracy It was a stark reminder of how normal things once felt. A note of grief hung in the air

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottom

A nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."

Today was my last day of trauma therapy. For art therapy I unpacked some career grief In the hour I made it, I received a random "hey would you be interested in this position we're hiring for" email, and another solidifying some gig work Wild how I went from total despair to some hope so quickly

At least I found a job to apply to that 1. I was actually extremely qualified for 2. Had a value-driven mission Trying not to get my hopes up with the market how it is, especially for science communicators, but at least it wasn't yet another role for mindlessly editing AI slop...

Feel like I just had the rug pulled out from under me. Illinois's crime victim reimbursement fund just told me it's not covering the vast majority of my expenses, with little justification for why I only sought temporary lodging because I was told this safety net would cover it I feel so screwed

Decided to splurge on a selfie with Terry (Jadzia) Said how I used to cosplay as her and her character helped me figure out I was trans, and how much I appreciated what she said yesterday, and she teared up and hugged me so much Just so genuine and sweet. My heart is full 🥹💖

Highlight of #STLV today was the Q&A with both Daxes (Terry Farrell & Nicole de Boer) Both mentioned multiple times how much it meant to them to have so many trans fans thanking them for being the representation they needed, and how horrible and unfair the current anti-trans climate was 💖

This persecution of Fauci is unacceptable. 7.1 million people died of Covid-19 since it jumped to humans. Dozens of viruses out there also have potential to jump anytime and cause similar deaths. Nobody will be willing or able to fight them. Thanks Rand Paul and RFK jr. wapo.st/3TAPlAj
