City watchdogs axe proposals for new diversity and inclusion rules
“If anybody needed a clearer sign that this administration gives not a single damn for the people of the #UnitedStates, this is it,” Matthew Tejada, a fmr #EPA ofcl who is now a snr VP for #EnvironmentalHealth at the Natural Resources Defense Fund, a nonprofit.
Molly Vaseliou, an EPA spox, described the moves as *organizational improvements* that align w/ #Trump’s orders to end *wasteful* spending & #diversity, #equity & #inclusion programs.

Rafaël de la manche
@rafael_de_la_manche is said to be a troubadour of the suburbs, a debauched esthete, a pastoral dandy.
On one path, then the other without ever moving forward, he searches for her. Dulcine. He doesn't know her and doesn't know who she is. However what he knows is that he loves her. If you know her, or if it's you, let yourself be tempted, it might make your heart sing.
Statement on meta's policy changes
Because of the recent events in the US and the new policy of Meta, we would like to share a statement with you. We don't agree nor support the defunding of content moderation or anything anti LGBTQIA.
We are in solidarity with all the oppressed and will continue to fight for a more diverse world, especially in difficult times, like now.

Today, I'm sharing Queering Masculinities in Language and Culture, edited by Paul Baker and Giuseppe Balirano.
How do we learn what it means to be a man? And how do we learn to question what it means to be a man? This collection comprises a set of original interdisciplinary chapters on the linguistic and cultural representations of queer masculinities in a range of new and older media: television, film, online forums, news reporting, advertising and fiction.

#Trump signed a new #ExecutiveOrder instructing admin ofcls to alter a #StudentLoanForgiveness program for #PublicServants to exclude nonprofit groups that engage in activities that have what he erroneously called a “substantial illegal purpose.” His order targets groups supporting undocumented #immigrants, #diversity initiatives or #gender-affirming care for children, among others.

US retailers publicly scrap some 'DEI' initiatives while quietly supporting others
Do you think white privilege doesn't exist and that #DEI initiatives are not needed?
FACT: When applying to jobs, white applicants receive 36% more callbacks than equally qualified African-Americans, and 24% more callbacks than Latinos.

From August 2024: A look at non-white versions of classic cartoon characters, and why this matters.

We must cultivate curiosity about one another and explore the diverse narratives of the #LGBTQ+ landscape.
It raises the question: why do the diverse factions within LGBTQ+ organisations not unite to present a cohesive voice?
