Heard at the store: "How was your holiday?" Lady: Cough cough hack sneeze. "Oh great, except this terrible cold I can't seem to shake... my granddaughter brought it home from school".

> This election was lost four and six years ago, not this year. They [Republicans] didn’t start thinking of the old common fellow till just as they started out on the election tour. The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickles down. Put it uphill and let it go and it will reach the driest little spot. But he didn’t know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellows hands. They saved the big banks, but the little ones went up the flue.

After two hours awake, I've realized I'm too sleepy to play video games, and so I'm going back to sleep.
The worrying thing is that in between eating breakfast and failing to play video games, I wrote some C code.

Kochani, z podsumowań, to w roku 2023 udało mi się doszczętnie nie ochujeć. Natomiast z postanowień, to w 2024 zamierzam również doszczętnie nie ochujeć, i też będzie to duży sukces.
Czego i Wam życzę.

I just spoke with a woman who years ago made a special appointment for me to show her daughter some things from the collection she was very interested in (back when we had a minimum age requirement of 18 in the reading room). Said daughter is now applying to colleges and cites that in her essay as a formative experience in wanting to study history. If you need me for the rest of the day, I will be on Cloud 9.

Cholera, sprawdziłem. Kochają tylko rasowe. A my mamy głównie do czynienia z kundelkami.
Chyba zamkne tu konto i wrócę na Twittera. Sporo nazistów kocha pieski.

I had a conversation with a researcher (mathematician) today about the worrying decrease in the number of women applying to degrees in mathematics (he was talking about in this happening in Spain). He wondered what he could do, as a postdoc, to help.
The conversation felt productive,
and we touched on issues I feel matter to other minorities as well, but I felt terribly ill-prepared to give good suggestions.
I turn to the Fediverse for help. I would like to educate myself, broaden my horizons, and build a list of actionable things to mention the next time this type of conversation arises.
Any tips? Suggestions of things to read, and to think about are quite welcome!
At some point I, attempting to broaden the analogies (I know, danger, danger), I proposed to compare the situation to that of of open access publishing: it is important that people who have already established positions take issue with the publishing standards of the industry, as they have much more voice (and freedom) to act and commit to boycotts, say, than early-career researchers do. (My point being that it is much harder for minorities to make themselves heard than it is for people currently in established positions to give them voice and put pressure on policy makers.)

@naia What a wonderful mash of hashtags in your bio.
Mało czasu. Czy Fediverse w ogóle istnieje w Polsce?
Lajkują, nie podają dalej. Co to za dziwny portal?
Potrzebny skuter na wiejskie drogi (gruntowe, błoto). Elektryk lub benzyniak. Zasięg 50 km. Musi umieć przewieźć skrzynkę piwa i kanister prądu/benzyny. Ma ktoś jakieś rady?

No dobra. Chyba nie ma. Ktoś chętny i zdolny do poprowadzenia czegoś takiego? Chętnie wesprę.
