... See, now I'm just starting to think this whole thing is simply made up.

I work in academia. A DEI committee is a specific thing that has specific duties, and they wouldnt even be involved in this sort of thing. No one is being hired, no one is lacking an accomodation or opportunity, no one is being excluded. "DEI Committee"is certainly a big Republican Boogeyman dogwhistle though. So I think I'm just done here.

Well, that's been my life for the past seven years.

I really wish it weren't true.

I went all-in on a reboot and second chance only to get shat on again.

I really don't have anything else to live for at this point and I don't know what to do other than to speak my truth and hope that the next attempts at something like DEI can learn from it.
