If I opened up free portfolio reviews for marginalized writers looking to get into writing for Paizo, would people be interested? BIPOC would be prioritized. I can't get you jobs at Paizo, just help you with your skills. I have a background in theater education, so I have experience giving feedback.

Have you read this article yet and shared it with someone you love? You should.

“A study that followed a cohort of nearly 34,000 women, found that those who frequently used chemical hair-straightening products, a majority of whom were Black women, were two and a half times as likely to develop uterine cancer as those who did not use the products.”

The Disturbing Truth About Hair Relaxerswww.nytimes.com They’ve been linked to reproductive disorders and cancers. Why are they still being marketed so aggressively to Black women?

Hey remember when Utah launched a carelessly thrown together form to report trans people in public spaces? New snitch line is up, but requires a Utah IP address to submit. Would be a real shame if a bunch of people used VPNs to fill it with useless data again. hotlineform.utah.gov/equal_opport...

wake up bluesky a new utah snitch line just dropped (you'll need a vpn if you're outside utah for this one) hotlineform.utah.gov/equal-opport...
