2somethingThis is a #FediHire post, but it's not about technology, so I don't know how helpful the fediverse will be.
I have a PHD in math and nine years of experience teaching university students. I want to leave higher education and become a high school math teacher, but I am not certified.
I'm in the U.S. and have no easy way to leave. I also can't go four years without an income or health insurance.
What states would be the easiest for me to get at least provisionally certified to teach in?
Also keep in mind that I'm trans, so I am only willing to move to a state where it's legal for me to interact with teenagers and get health care.

Cory DoctorowIf there's anything that illustrated the hollowness of the Democratic Party as an effective opposition for me, it's this.
Yesterday, I watched a video of a sitting US Senator being thrown to the ground and cuffed by fed goons for asking questions of the fed official he has direct oversight authority over.
Within minutes, I'd gotten DOZENS of texts from Dems and Dem orgs asking for $5-$50 to "fight fascism."
That's it. "Are you terrified that your country is slipping into fascism? Pay me."

🅰🅻🅸🅲🅴 (🌈🦄)Circumcision is the most common gender-affirming surgery. It's performed *almost* exclusively on cishet minors, and it's also *irreversible*.
Followed by breast augmentation surgeries and botox procedures (for cishet adults).
But you know which irreversible gender-affirming surgeries trans minors get? None. Zero. Zilch.

Peter GleickCriticism of Israeli war crimes isn't anti-semitism. This essay on Israel's war crimes was penned by, let me see, oh, Israel's former Prime Minister.
Paul HoffmanThe Canadian and Mexican governments could set up COVID booster clinics just past the drive-in border crossings, and right near the exits at airports. Require a US passport, charge a service fee of $25, and have a kiosk to let the recipient send a personalized email to RFK Jr.
