I don't work with any men anymore. There is not a single man employed by my employer. We had one (our former podcast producer... good guy) and he left like two weeks ago.
Imagine working only with women and nonbinary people. It's pretty dope.

If your research depends on databases that are/were funded by, or are hosted by organizations funded by USAID it’s a good idea to back it up somewhere else. The clock is ticking.
And foreign assistance websites that held data on foreign aid have been down for a week it appears; including aidscape.usaid.gov and www.foreignassistance.gov
