sffbookclub meta crowdfund 

The Mastodon crowd-fund is again operational on @Liberapay at liberapay.com/Mastodon_SFFBook

When Liberapay had problems last month, I withdrew the balance to date. I have just set what I withdrew (less the processing fee) to go back into the fund over the next month, at which time I will resume my own regular contribution.

As always, PM me if you need help affording the club selection or want more information about contributing.

Thank you!

I'm Naga. A statistical consultant by training and trade, but more here for general social interaction, especially geeky, sometimes sexy/kinky, and occasionally left-wing political. Oh, and new-dad stuff. Dragonlet is my toddler, Jalan is my wife.

Could I get some recomendations for horror made by bipoc folx? Or be pointed towards good resources to find such things. Preferably queer but it doesn't have to be.

US pol, COVID-19 surrender 

"Their only strategy at this point is praying for a vaccine." -- Aaron Rupar

That pretty much sums it up. Herd immunity is the same thing. The strategy is don't do anything and hope for a miracle cure/preventative. You can see that in Trump's continual jumping on one miracle cure after another, from Hydroxychloroquine to bleach to whatever.

But there's a deeper reason, ideologically -- the right doesn't want to help people.

Any artists on here selling face masks on Society6?

Their mask pattern fits my face the best out of any I've tried. I've bought from two artists on the fediverse, and I bet there are more!

If anyone needs Windows 10 Pro retail licenses, PCWorld Software Store has them available for $40 for a little over a day yet.

I activated a machine that had come with Home with one of these keys, and Windows is reporting (via `slmgr /dli`) that it’s a retail channel key. software.pcworld.com/p43225-wi

There have been a few decisions in the past year I can't imagine getting through 2020 without:

- Deciding to take up art
- Starting to learn Latin
- SFFBookClub

Best choices I've made in a long time.

Why is it over 80F/27C? And humid? It's late October, dammit.

I'm also very pleased to report that we have revised our GRE position. For the past few years we've had a "GRE optional" position.

But starting this year, in keeping with our commitment to promoting equity and accessibility, we do not include evaluation of GRE scores in our admissions process.

GRE scores will not be considered even if sent.

Yes, this paid work, by the way. You would be hired as a freelancer by the firm she works for.

I have a list of nearly twenty organizations or individuals I want to reach out to directly to offer writing services. Most related to my own interests/identities or who I have interacted with in the past

Really appreciate all the boosts on my last post about freelancing. Can I get a bit more help? do you know any orgs that I could/should reach out to? Especially groups providing needed support/services who could use help putting together new member packet, info pamphlets, news releases, etc.
