Help!
I am running a free event for women in esports targeted at 16-21 year old women and enbys around careers in the competitive gaming industry.
Does anyone know of who’d be interested in supporting this or possibly coming along as a see-it-be-it ?
Already have some major players on board but any ideas welcomed.
Retooting welcomed.
And since it sadly needs to be clear these days, this is trans-inclusive.
[edit: if you’re interested but can’t make the location we can video link]

She's never captured.
She died in 2023, in New Zealand.

newly adopted cat medical care question
We adopted a cat 2 weeks ago and took him for a vet check-up today. We had noticed a missing fang when we adopted him, but the rescue organization did not mention it to us and there was no note of it in his medical records.
The vet observed that the fang is not missing, it is broken, and our cat needs to have the tooth extracted. He told us to contact the rescue organization and see if they can cover the cost, which will be $1,800.
The organization included a trial pet insurance policy, but it does not cover dental care unless you pay for an upgrade. I'm guessing that the broken tooth will be considered a pre-existing condition and they won't cover it.
I guess I'll call both the rescue and the pet insurance company and ask - it won't hurt to try to get some help...
Any advice on how to approach this?

a good time to remind y’all
MAYA ANGELOU ―the poet laureate, 3 time Grammy winner, National Medal of Arts and Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree― once worked as a SEX WORKER; both as labor and management.
there’s a whole generation of BLACK nanas and aunties that had to do what they had to do to care for our families. sex work isn't just the sex. many Black brothels were social, cultural, health centers for our communities.
true allies stand by all sex workers.
The first person to discover a link between increased levels of CO2 and #globalwarming was a New Yorker named Eunice Newton Foote. Read her 1856 paper, and how she went unacknowledged for more than a century, here: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/first-paper-to-link-co2-and-global-warming-by-eunice-foote-1856 #earthday #climatechange

Any academics I follow interested in moving to Europe? My department here in Maastricht, Netherlands, is hiring:
Associate Professor in System and Network Security, open until May 10, 2026
https://vacancies.maastrichtuniversity.nl/job/Maastricht-Associate-Professor-in-System-and-Network-Security/1357701057/
Assistant Professor in Computer Systems, open until May 10, 2026
https://vacancies.maastrichtuniversity.nl/job/Maastricht-Assistant-Professor-in-Computer-Systems/1357700157/
Both of these are for the equivalent of tenure-track, i.e. after a 18-month probationary period, you have a permanent contract.
I'm happy to tell anyone interested about the university, the department, the role, the city of Maastricht, or about moving to the Netherlands as an English-speaker.
PhD in Cell Biology
I am a Research Scientist and lab manager for the Tootle lab in the Biology department at the University of Iowa. We use Drosophila oogenesis to understand the mechanisms regulating prostaglandin production and function. My particular interest is the developmental roles of lipid droplets and their connection to prostaglandins.
I love biology and teaching people about what is happening in cells. I also am really interested in microscopy.
I also like cats, horses and horseback riding, fish keeping (I have two aquariums), video games-particularly the Half-Life franchise and Half Life mods, and I have recently gotten into VR (NOT META!) so if you want to chat about any of these topics that would be great!
