Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. Results showed that close to half of the participants secured housing, and nearly $600K saved in public service costs due to fewer ER visits & jail stays. They also saw improved mental health.

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life. But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

I cannot get through a Derry Girls rewatch without (a) crying, and (b) my accent getting stronger.

I'm excited to see "Inclusion and Advancement of LGBTQ+ People in STEM Fields" out today — it's a comprehensive evidence review and policy report from a think tank event I joined last year

My quick intro post: lab.jbyoder.org/2024/06/12/p...

And the full report: drive.google.com/file/d/1mjFr...

Sad news. As others have noted Lynn was a pioneer & leader in multiple fields. We discussed doing a graphic novel about her, and I have sample art (by Aaron Polk) & an outline that we were all happy with. In the end she didn't want to devote the time to it, but I'm grateful we got to talk, at least!

doesn’t shock me that this happened in virginia beach. also another point of information for my belief that explicit discrimination in housing and employment is still more prevalent than people think.

Sighs - a colleague's personal website: "With over YY,YYY citations for his ZZZ papers (since 2000 his papers have been cited >AB,CDE times) and with an h factor of GH is a highly influential scientist in the field." Do we have to continually perpetuate the myth that citation metrics = influence?

Totally support everyone’s right to choose the language that’s right for them (I prefer identity-first language), but I would like people to know that disabled isn’t a bad word any more than gay is.

not helped by the linguistic gymnastics people do when they try to say disabled without wanting to use the word disabled
