For the first time, our justice sentenced a murdered to prison for life (the hardest sentence) because it was a hate crime against a trans person.

GOG is looking for a Technical Project Manager!
And I'm like "I'd love to do this kind of job, if I wasn't so broken", but maybe some other fantastic person in the Fediverse could get this job, because it's right up their lane!!
