Harvard just closed one of the most visible Harvard UWU workplaces on campus with only one hour of notice and without bargaining. Disgusting and devastating.

Women in Blockchain panels shouldn’t exist.
Today on the Women in Blockchain panel ETHBoston | April 2024, we agreed that while we appreciate efforts at inclusion, we should instead highlight women’s expertise by making them individual speakers, & solving for problems women care about.
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor Caroline Fohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, 'What are you doing?' That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
Kudos to Akila Quinio or her editor for the best subheading I've ever seen on a sex work article.
'Campaigners say debanking & financial exclusion increases vulnerability to criminals and traffickers' - a fact so simple it borders on truism, but one the media often struggles with.
Happy to have had the chance to speak to the Financial Times’ Akila Quinio about banking discrimination against sex workers!
Access to banking should be a basic human right.
