Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Claiming it was because she had too much DEI
We got notification today that we have to remove every reference to DEI in our entire nursing curriculum. We would be reported if we leave it in, so I probably shouldn't say anything. I am on a DEI committee that is now disbanded. I was the fat activist.

I'm glad Mr. flea is OK for now.
So sorry, Consuela.
I had read that one, Lisa, and, yeah, didn't need to be sent verbatim, and the snitch patrolling is just gross as fuck.
I am not personally affected, but one of my inner sanctum friends is high up at USTR, and the pick for US Trade Rep was well-respected in his role as Chief of Staff last Trump administration and treated *them* with respect, so that's some positive news. I mean, for my friend... what it means for trade policy, well...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Because I need to take my own advice:
Work is done, computer packed up and by door for tomorrow
Some dishes washed (wash rest before bed)
Dog beds in wash and spare out for Bailey
Now: 20 minutes on couch listening to nature sounds per therapist request
Next: laundry in pile up to bedroom and put away
Dinner for everyone - good time to do those dishes
Move dog beds to dryer
Get items I need to mail, address and out with computer for tomorrow.

Man the problem with keeping lists like that is that with the size of modern organizations there are SO MANY people who deserve a good Facelessing.

I've read in a couple of places that the language of the DEI notices/emails sent out by government agencies were from a template given to them, and no one was allowed to alter or edit them.

Which doesn't excuse things AT ALL, but does sound like the agencies weren't given any leeway.
