In case you haven't heard, Red Hat is laying off people today, and I'm one of them. My 'career' as a Hatter lasted just over 15 months, much less time than I had planned or expected.
Many of you know me well, and know that I have extensive background in open source software, project management, open source business, and lots of related activities. If you're aware of any opportunities which may be of interest, feel free to send them my way via any channel you like.
Boosts much appreciated, of course, and thanks in advance!
If you're cis, I'd like you to read this article and learn that Missouri is about to enact a full ban on transition healthcare for transgender people. The deadline is April 27.
No cisgender person I've shared this with has had any idea that this is a ban, not a regulation - the requirements are impossible to meet.
I would also ask that you share this information with three other cis people today, preferably ones in or near #Missouri .
Thank you.

Information literacy skills aren't just for high school students. Adults can learn (or re-learn) important skills around factchecking and vetting sources and claims.

@drhettie Tenure became my super power. It allowed me to speak up, especially on behalf of my colleagues who were not on the tenure track or who were in vulnerable positions. Tenure gave me the freedom to pursue research questions that interested me. It protected me (to a degree) from academic political BS. I was always aware of and grateful for that rare privilege.
Hello, new instance!!
Quick #introduction, I'm izzy, previously at @izzy@vis.social, but couldn't resist the pull of this wondrous gaming-focused instance. 😄
I've been a #dataAnalyst in #gameDev for... three? years now, both in #indie and #AAA on a long-running franchise.
Love the job and play tons of #videoGames (obv). Currently mostly #RocketLeague, re-playing Assassin's Creed (the OG), and #GenshinImpact.
I love #gardening, #SUPing, and e-biking in any season that's not winter.
HI ALL 👋
@JensHannemann Blue Door is great too
@mempko Maybe Elon and his team ought to try playing Kerbal Space Program since engineering and history doesn't seem to be working
@georgetakei Happy Birthday!
@JensHannemann Congratulations to you all!
Looking for some help
A week or so ago, there was an article I saw get boosted a few times. It was about ants or some animal in Africa and the noteworthy part was that the (western?) researchers quoted the local community leaders as experts on the critter based on a long history of living together and included them as authors.
Can anyone help me find that article again? Boosts much appreciated!
After witnessing a white doctor refuse to treat a sick, elderly Native American woman who later died, Susan LaFlesche Picotte decided to become a physician to help her people. Born in 1865, she grew up on Nebraska’s Omaha reservation.
In 1889, Picotte became the first female Native American to earn a medical degree in the U.S. She raised funding & opened Wathill Hospital in 1913 - the first private hospital on a reservation. https://drsusancenter.org/dr-susan #HistoryRemix #history #science

PhD in Cell Biology
Currently a Postdoc in Anatomy and Cell Biology at the University of Iowa
I love biology and teaching people about what is happening in cells. I also am really interested in microscopy.
I also like cats, horses and horseback riding, fish keeping (I have two aquariums), video games-particularly the Half-Life franchise and Half Life mods, and I have recently gotten into VR (NOT META!) so if you want to chat about any of these topics that would be great!
