Gratitude and the Gift of #Health✨
🗣️Today marked a personal milestone: my first time teaching a free bilingual Strength and Power Class for Older Adults at La Alianza Hispana in #Boston.
🎯I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to give back to an organization that supported my family years ago and continues to uplift our #community.
👟More to come, because #healthequity begins with access—and movement is for everyone.
¡Pa’lante!🇺🇸🇩🇴

There is One Fediverse. There are a Million Pickleball Courts.
OK, maybe not a million, but over 100,000 and growing fast. And they are displacing tennis courts, because you can get four pickleball courts where one tennis court existed, and more and more people think that’s a good thing.

｢ The average red-blooded American programmer has never visited London, doesn’t know much about European history, and has no idea who Tommy Robinson is. Are native Brits conceptually different from Native Americans?23 As a powerful, charismatic leader, David commands a lot of the benefit of the doubt, and he exploits that. He speaks in dog whistles, and communicates via subtext ｣
｢ A morbid side-effect of his condition is that his body is still alive, walking around, delivering keynote addresses at confs and screeds on social media. Yet he exists only as a macabre meat puppet, his sinews pulled taught, controlled entirely by the brain parasite he contracted from a WhatsApp group chat. This state of affairs is upsetting, and confusing, but it bears repeating: the man we knew and loved as dhh is gone ｣

Google, Microsoft, and Meta Have Stopped Publishing Workforce Diversity Data
Other big tech companies including Amazon, Apple, and Nvidia have continued their annual disclosures this year even as the Trump administration cracks down on DEI.
Very displeased with one of my Alma Maters!
#Cornell Reaches Deal with #Trump Admin to Restore #Research #Funding
The Ivy League #university had warned of #layoffs after the Trump admin stripped it of funds this year. The cuts were among the deepest in higher #education.

#Cornell University reached an agreement with the #Trump admin Friday that would restore hundreds of millions in federal #funding to the #university, acc/to university & govt ofcls.
The agreement would also end government *investigations* that have placed the #school under months of federal scrutiny over accusations of *antisemitism* [ #FreeSpeech] & *discrimination* [ #diversity initiatives] in admissions.

Happy Guru Nanak Jayanti to all celebrating!
Guru Nanak is seen as the founder of Sikhism. His message, delivered by God, was that all are equal and should live peacefully with one another.
His birthday is a major holiday in the Sikh calendar (although not all agree on the date). It's a day filled with joyful celebration and prayer, with many in the Sikh community travelling to their nearest Gurudwaras to submit special prayers.

If #military separation boards decide to allow #transgender service members to remain in uniform, commanders can override that decision, acc/to an Oct 8 memo to all the services from the #Pentagon’s undersecretary for personnel & readiness, Anthony Tata. That breaks with longstanding policy that boards act independently.
It is the #Pentagon’s latest step to drive #transgender troops out of the #ArmedFrces following an executive order from #Trump. He & #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth have targeted #diversity, #equity & #inclusion efforts in what they say is an effort to make the #military more lethal.
The admin’s policies have faced pushback in courts as #trans troops & supporters say they have proven their worth to the military, but #SCOTUS in May allowed the ban to be enforced while legal challenges proceed.
#Trump must release millions in #grants meant to address the shortage of #MentalHealth workers in #schools, a federal judge ruled.
#Congress funded the program after the 2022 #Uvalde #SchoolShooting. The grants were intended to help schools hire more #counselors, #psychologists & #SocialWorkers, & focus on rural & underserved areas. But Trump’s admin opposed #diversity considerations used to award the grants & told recipients they wouldn’t continue past Dec 2025.

Even #RollsRoyce in #Derby is scared of the US.
Has nobody got any backbone, or was it just somethingwash like everything else companies pretend they support?
Happy Bandi Chhor Divas to all celebrating today!
The Sikh holiday is a celebration of the day the Sixth Guru was released from prison, carrying with him 52 Hindu kings. It's a time to celebrate freedom and reflect on the importance of human rights.
