A poll says that 64% of US citizens say that they will not vote for Tr*mp? Makes sense.
🤔 Wait... Why isn't that higher? That means that 36% of US citizens did not say that they won't vote for him, even after all this? That's a lot!
36%... why does that sound so familiar?
So, I'm being asked to fly to Austin in mid-October for a mandatory(-ish?) work event. How much risk am I taking as a trans person in their 40s? It's research o'clock.
6. After concluding research, weigh options of making an appeal to have the work event in Vancouver, the impact of not attendng, the benefit/risk of attending. Roll the dice.
Acknowledging that there are things outside the organizers's purview look into the following
4. Can I get a direct flight? If not, check the other locations against the map.
5. Getting to/from the airport - can I get a ride from a local or risk the politics of a driver?

@ruthmalan I did work-study as a carpenter for the University of Michigan theater program and I'm just floored. I mean, I guess we mostly used screws but still. Yay for new learning!
@pahlkadot This is one of my top frustrations. Sometimes I turn to mental tricks:
- Pick this one or this one. (They often go for a third one, but that's ok, they chose something!)
- Estimate cost of not choosing
- Provide a ROI-ordered list
