You guys really don't need the update on this but it's pretty much the hellscape comedy of errors you might suspect. They emailed today to say they are "looking forward to the talk" and only needed me to take the words "race" "activism" "justice" and "gender" out of the title. Lol. Lmao even.
Was scheduled to give a talk for an office of equal opportunity/affirmative action in a couple weeks but that office no longer exists & the website is taken down. No one contacted me but I think it's fair to assume I'm no longer giving the talk. Gonna go schedule some self-care in that time block.
