My partner has post-partum depression (he is dad by the way). He’s handling it well despite, by his own admission, feeling guilty for not wanting to spend time with our baby. I understand these things hit people and am doing everything I can do be patient and understanding, but this is the fourth weekend in a row he has made plans to get some time out the house. I get that he needs time away from the yelling and mess to cope, but I feel like I’ve lost my best friend. We used to do things together but now he doesn’t want to spend time with me. I guess I don’t really have close friends outside of my partner. I don’t want to say anything as he is trying so hard to be present and positive in mine and our daughter’s life. But damn do I feel lonely.

Did you know you can kill weeds with vodka? Remove stains on clothes with aspirin? Make jewellery gleam with tomato ketchup? Here are 40 surprising tips to save you time and money
​
and for ... aluminium cans
To create a simple Chinese lantern, mark two lines around a clean empty can, about 2.5cm from the top and bottom. With a sharp craft knife, make vertical cuts about 1.5cm apart between the lines. Make a cut across the bottom of two adjacent strips to make an opening for a candle. Gently press down on the can to make the strips bend in the middle. Insert a tea-light through the opening, then tuck the cut ends of the opening strips inside the can. Finally attach a hanging loop. You can spray-paint the can before cutting it if you like.
​
and for ... apples
If you've been heavy-handed with the salt shaker when cooking a soup or stew, simply drop a few apple (or potato) wedges into the pan. After cooking for another 10 minutes or so, remove the wedges, which will have absorbed the excess salt.
​
and for ... aspirin
Before giving up hope of removing a stubborn perspiration stain from a shirt, try this. Crush two aspirins and mix the powder in 100ml warm water. Soak the stained part of the garment in the solution for two to three hours.
​
B is for ... bread
You can remove most dirty or greasy fingerprints from painted walls by rubbing the area with a slice of white bread. Bread does a good job of cleaning nonwashable wallpaper as well. First cut off the crusts to minimise the chance of scratching the paper.
​
and for ... baby oil
Buff up a dull-looking stainless steel sink by rubbing it down with a few drops of baby oil on a soft clean cloth. Rub dry with a towel and repeat if necessary. This is also a terrific way to remove stains on the chrome trim of kitchen appliances and bathroom fixtures.
​
and for ... bicarbonate of soda
Even the smelliest shoe or trainer is no match for the power of bicarbonate of soda. Liberally sprinkle powder in the offending loafer or laceup and let it sit overnight. Discard the powder in the morning. (Be careful with leather shoes as repeated applications can dry them out.)
​
C is for ... crayons
Crayons make an excellent filler for small gouges or holes in resilient flooring. Select a colour that closely matches the floor. Melt the crayon in the microwave on medium power over a piece of greaseproof paper, until you have a pliant glob of colour. With a plastic or putty knife, fill the hole. You can use a softened crayon to cover even quite deep scratches on wooden furniture.
​
and for ... carpet remnants
Place a series of carpet offcuts upside down and cover them with bark mulch or straw for a weed-free garden path. Use smaller scraps as mulch around your vegetable garden.
​
and for ... coffee grounds
They're full of nutrients that acid-loving plants crave. Save them to fertilise rose bushes, azaleas, rhododendrons, evergreens and camellias. It's better to use grounds from a drip coffeemaker than the boiled grounds from a percolator as the drip grounds are richer in nitrogen.
​
and for ... compact discs
Use them as garden/driveway reflectors. Drill small holes into a CD and screw it ito a gatepost or stake. Install several of them to mark out a night-time path to your front door.
​
and for ... correction fluid
Dab small nicks on household appliances with correction fluid. Once it dries, cover your repair with clear nail polish for protection.
​
D is for ... dental floss
Secure a button permanently with dental floss - it's much stronger than thread. Make hardwearing repairs to outdoor items. Because dental floss is resilient but fine, it is an ideal replacement for thread when you are repairing an umbrella, tent or rucksack.
​
E is for ... emery board
If a favourite pair of suede shoes have become stained and tired, an emery board can revive them. Rub the stain lightly with the emery board, and then hold the shoe over the steam from a kettle to remove the stain. This technique will work for suede clothing too.
​
F is for ... fabric softener
End clinging dust on the TV. To eliminate the static that attracts dust, dampen a duster with a little fabric softener straight from the bottle.
​
and for ... freezers
Place candles in the freezer for at least two hours before burning. They will last longer.
​
G is for ... golfing equipment
If a screw won't grip because its hole has become too large, dip the tip of a golf tee in wood glue and tap the tee into the hole. Cut the tee flush with a craft knife. When the glue dries, you can drill a new pilot hole in the same spot.
​
H is for ... hairspray
To keep a child's priceless work of art at its very best before you put it on the pinboard or fridge door, preserve it with hairspray to help it last longer. This works especially well on unstable chalk or pastel pictures as it stops them from getting smudged so easily.
​
I is for ... ice cube trays
Here's what to do with a half-drunk bottle of red or white wine. Freeze the wine into cubes that can be used later in pasta sauces, casseroles or stews.
​
and for ... ice cubes
If you're putting sealant around the bath, run an ice cube over it to get a nice even bead - it will never stick.
​
J is for ... jars
If you've taken a break from gardening, help your gloves dry out by pulling each one over the bottom of an empty jar. Stand the jar upside down on a radiator or hot-air vent. Warm air will fill the jar and dry damp clothing in an instant.
​
K is for ... ketchup
Keeps silver jewellery sparkling. Soak it in a small bowl of ketchup for a few minutes. If it has a tooled or detailed surface, use an old toothbrush to work ketchup into the crevices. To avoid damaging the silver, don't leave the ketchup on longer than necessary. Rinse and dry.
​
L is for ... lemons
Get rid of tough stains on marble. Cut a lemon in half, dip the exposed flesh in some table salt and rub it vigorously on the stain. You will be amazed how well it works.
​
and for ... ladders
A straight ladder or front part of a stepladder makes a shallow planter with ready-made sections that look appealing filled with annuals, herbs or salad greens. After a couple of years of contact with soil, a wooden ladder will decompose.
​
M is for ... milk cartons
Keep drinks cold at a barbecue or party with ice blocks made from empty milk cartons. Rinse them, fill them with water and put them in the freezer. Peel away the container when you're ready to put them in the punch bowl. If you intend to use them as cooler blocks, leave the container in place.
​
N is for ... nail varnish
Preserve the important information on labels with a coat of clear varnish. Keep a shirt in good shape by putting a drop of clear varnish on the thread in the buttons. It prevents fraying and loss of buttons.
​
and for ... newspaper
Slow-ripen tomatoes that are still on the vine in autumn. Wrap each one in a couple of sheets of newspaper and then store them in airtight containers inside a dark cabinet or cupboard at room temperature. Check each one every three or four days; they will eventually ripen to perfection.
​
O is for ... olive oil
Make your own furniture polish. Combine two parts olive oil with one part lemon juice or white vinegar in a clean recycled spray bottle, shake it up and squirt it on. Leave the mixture on for a minute or two, then wipe off with a clean cloth or paper towel. If you're in a hurry, apply olive oil straight from the bottle on to a paper towel. Wipe off any oil that remains with another towel.
​
and for ... oatmeal
Add luxury to a regular bath. All you need is 200g oatmeal and your favourite scented oil. Grind the oatmeal in a blender, put it in a cheesecloth bag, add a few drops of scent and suspend the bag under the running water as you fill your bathtub.
​
and for ... oven cleaner
To remove paint or varnish from wooden or metal furniture, try oven cleaner. It costs less than commercial strippers and is easier to apply (if you spray it). After applying, scrub off the old paint with a wire brush. Neutralise the stripped surface with vinegar, then wash it off with water. Allow to dry. Warning: never use oven cleaner on antique or expensive furnishings - it may darken wood or discolour metal.
​
P is for ... plastic bottles
Create a drip irrigator for plants. Cut a large hole in the bottom of a bottle, then drill two to five tiny (1.5mm) holes in or around the cap. Bury the closed bottles upside down about three-quarters submerged beneath the soil near the plants you need to water, and fill with water through the hole on top. Refill as needed.
​
R is for ... rubber flip-flops
Slip a rubber flip-flop on to your hand and rub carpets and rugs in the direction of the pile. Any pet hair will form into balls that can then be vacuumed up. This works well on upholstery, too, including car seats.
​
S is for ... sand
Fill a large bucket with builder's sand and pour in about a litre of clean motor oil. Plunge spades, hoes, rakes and other tools into the sand a few times to clean and lubricate them. To prevent rust, you can leave the tool blades in the sand for storage.
​
and for ... salt
Watermarks from damp glasses or bottles left on a wooden surface are unattractive. Make them disappear by mixing one teaspoon of salt with a few drops of water to form a paste. Gently rub the paste on to the ring with a soft cloth or sponge until the spot is gone. Restore the lustre with furniture polish.
​
T is for ... tennis balls
Give yourself a relaxing and therapeutic back massage: fill a long tube-shaped sock with a few tennis balls, tie the end and stretch the massager around your back as you would a towel after a shower.
​
and for ... tights
To find lost small objects, cut the leg off an old pair of tights, making sure the toe is intact and pull it over the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner hose. Secure with a rubber band. Turn on the vacuum and you will soon find your valuable attached to your homemade filter.
​
U is for ... umbrellas
Make an instant trellis. Remove the fabric from an old umbrella and insert the handle into the ground to support climbing vines such as clematis. The umbrella's shape, covered with flowers, will look terrific in the garden.
​
V is for ... vodka
For a quick and easy weedkiller, mix 30ml vodka, a few drops of washing-up liquid and 400ml water in a spray bottle. Apply at midday on a sunny day to weeds growing in direct sunlight because alcohol breaks down the waxy cuticle covering on leaves, leaving them susceptible to dehydration. It won't work in shady spots.
​
is for ... WD40
For fast relief from a bee or wasp sting, spray WD-40 directly on the bite. It will soothe the pain at once.
​
Y is for ... yoghurt
Put 200ml plain active-culture yoghurt into a blender, along with a handful of moss and about 200ml water. Blend for about 30 seconds. Use a paintbrush to spread the mixture wherever you want moss to grow - between the cracks of a stone path, on the sides of flowerpots - as long as the spot is cool and shady. Keep misting the moss with water until it is established.
​
Z is for . . . zips
Ever lost your car keys in the sand at the seaside? Stitch a small zipped pocket to one corner of the underside of your beach towel, just big enough for keys, sunglasses and maybe a few coins.
​
And if you're feeling really bold ...
Four bizarre problem-solving suggestions
· If you want to post a fragile item to a friend, wrap the item in disposable nappies before sealing the package. You can be sure your gift will arrive in one piece.
· To get chewing gum out of hair, apply some peanut butter to the matted gum and hair and rub the gum until it comes out. Your child's hair may smell like peanut butter until you wash it, but it is a better solution than having to cut the gum out.
· Wash lettuce in a washing machine. If you are expecting lots of people for lunch, place one pillowcase inside another. Fill the inside case with lettuce leaves. Close with string or a rubber band and throw in the washing machine. Now run the rinse and spin cycle.
· Get the comfort of a salon treatment when giving yourself a home pedicure. Just place marshmallows between your toes to separate them before you apply nail polish.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 89%. (I'm a bot)

A group of Russian anti-war groups reported that 1,842 residents in and around the flooded town of Oleshky, across the Dnipro river from Kherson, are "Currently not allowed to leave by the Russian military" of which 338 are in need of urgent assistance with water and food supplies running dangerously short.
Under the occupation Nova Kakhovka had long since stopped generating power and had been turned into a garrison, from which the Russians could fend off any attempt by Ukrainian forces to approach the dam from the right bank.
The Russian occupiers had allowed water levels in the Kakhovka reservoir behind the dam to build up to a 30-year high, filling the reservoir with more than 18m cubic metres of water, the size of Utah's Great Salt Lake.
If the Russians did indeed blow up the Kakhovka dam, it raises fears they could also blow up the Zaporizhzhia plant, regardless of the consequences that would almost certainly spill onto Russian territory.
At present, the waters have hardly receded from their peak - and the situation is complicated by the fact that, after a one-day pause on Wednesday, Russian shelling and Ukrainian retaliation resumed.
With terrible effect, the destruction of the Kakhovka dam raises the already enormous stakes riding on the Ukrainian counter-offensive.

Deep Files: Trans-"X"Communiqué: Letter to a UFO Recruit by Greg Halifax
What you're about to read is largely unverified. But that doesn't mean it's not true. It's the type of UFO information that would typically be deeply buried, then carefully studied and compartmentalized by a small faction within the intelligence community, as suits any sensitive black operation. As such, straightforward corroboration is difficult at best. But UFO Magazine has the advantage of more than a decade's worth of collected bits of information and broad-based facts on which to construct some fair extrapolations. Drawn from a range of sources, the following incident reflects upon one of the blackest of American covert operations that deal directly with the UFO phenomenon.
Recruitment and Background
They recruited him when he was fresh from a not-too-harrowing assignment in the Middle East. This was one area of the globe, at least, where the CIA had little trouble justifying its existence. Having some military background, Sedge Masters wasn't too surprised when he was called back for another briefing about the new foreign technology assignment overseen from Wright Patterson Air Force Base. What he'd heard at the first briefing didn't exactly fire his professional instincts. The task sounded less than challenging. He was assured that more information would be coming his way, and that much of it would change his mind about the degree of intrigue his new assignment would hold.
Induction into the Program
Clearances intact, Masters arrived on the base in short order. He was issued a security badge and escorted by an airman to an unmarked building. Once inside, he was escorted by the airman into a room where his security badge was taken from him and a different one given to him in its place. A different airman with a uniform that Masters had not seen before, armed with an M-16 and a sidearm, escorted him into a private room. That man left, and in less than two minutes, another armed and uniformed man entered. He said nothing: Masters was used to this routine. When the soldier had positioned himself in front of the door, Masters turned around to a table on which lay a thick packet of papers. One more glance at the impassive soldier, and Masters began to read.
Introduction Letter
The letter on top carried a number on the first page, but no date or letterhead. "Dear Mr. Masters," it began, "Consider this a deeper introduction to your present assignment. As you were told in last week's special briefing, you were selected for the program less for your wide intelligence background and technical skills than for the results of your psychological profile, both the one you took when you first joined the agency and the one administered earlier this year..."
Pre-WWII Sightings and Post-War Investigations
During the years preceding World War II, informal contacts made by Americans touring in Europe - tasked to do so by then-attorney William Donovan (who was later the head of the OSS in World War II) - revealed that there had been a number of sightings of unusual aerial phenomena and craft over European skies, particularly in the vicinity of German military facilities. The rush of events focused the attention of the military and the OSS on other matters of more pressing concern, although it had been resolved to look into these reports again at the war's conclusion.
The Roswell Incident
Before there could be a full assessment of the implications of these events, in July 1947, two crafts were recovered from the desert near the Roswell Army Air Corps bomber base. One of the crafts was a deltoid wing "lifting body" which had suffered a rupture to the crew compartment and some impact distortion, but which was otherwise intact. The other craft had completely disintegrated either before or upon impact.
Hypotheses and Discoveries
Although there were working hypotheses that these crafts were either (1) secret Soviet surveillance craft designed to spy upon the many advanced technical and military facilities in that region, (2) crafts from some "other dimension" the details of which were and remain unspecified by the proponents of this hypothesis, or (3) crafts from our own future exploring the past through an unknown temporal travel mechanism, it soon became clear that these crafts were from some planet or solar system other than our own, as they were occupied by two kinds of beings which clearly were not of earthly origin.
Extraterrestrial Evidence
The occupants of the deltoid craft were largely intact after the crash. When the special recovery team established for this purpose located the crash, two of the occupants of the deltoid craft were still alive, although one was badly injured and would later die upon being taken to the Roswell Air Corps base. The other survivor was alive and remained so for almost 30 days after the crash. It was able to walk and seemed to understand that it was a captive among intelligent beings like itself. All efforts at communication with the survivor were inconclusive and largely unsuccessful. The three other occupants were dead when the recovery team found them. The general appearance of these creatures was as reported in the recently published, somewhat fanciful 'investigative' books on the subject which have received a certain amount of popular acceptance and which resulted in the recent 50th-anniversary celebration of this event. (Popular attention to this event remains strong.)
Second Craft and Biological Robots
The occupants of the second craft were not found for several more days, as their bodies had been ejected in what appeared to be safety pods similar in purpose to those later employed in such high-performance aircraft as the B-58 Hustler and XB-70 supersonic bombers. These creatures were longer in dimension than the ones of the deltoid craft, and their bodies were dispersed over a much wider area due to the disintegration of their craft. All were dead when found, with their bodies much deteriorated from prolonged exposure to the elements and some having been partially eaten by coyotes and other creatures, all of the latter of which were found dead near the alien corpses.
Analysis of the animal remains and the alien bodies led to the conclusion that the animals died from poisoning caused by ingestion of chemicals in the alien flesh. It appeared that the second group of aliens could not survive if exposed to the Earth's atmosphere. The need to remove all evidence of the event from the two crash sites limited the amount of crash reconstruction which could be accomplished by the recovery team, with the consequence that it has never been made clear what exactly caused the crash.
Cover-Up and Suppression
Unfortunately, the large number of civilian and military personnel who witnessed physical evidence at the crash sites and back at the Roswell base created a significant security hazard which was dealt with by intimidation and bribery of the witnesses to the extent that those means proved effective. Until unofficial investigators, journalists, writers, and others began renewing investigation of the subject in the early 1980s, these techniques were largely successful in keeping the truth of the Roswell event from the public, as well as its ominous implications.
Alien Autopsies and 'Biological Robots'
The autopsies on the bodies of the creatures showed that they were of very light build and clearly not from this planet. The simplicity of their brain structures and non-communication in the face of stalwart efforts by researchers led investigators at the time to conclude that they were not the original designers and builders of the craft involved in the incident. Rather, it seemed that they were 'biological robots,' designed and bred for the purpose of undertaking such dangerous missions as flying through the atmosphere of an alien world. The survivor finally died when its body accumulated toxic waste products from its metabolism. There were no apparent excretory system or sexual organs. Consistent with this 'biological robot' hypothesis was the complete absence of any galley or food stores aboard the craft. Of course, the possibility of there being a 'mother ship' from which these craft came was also considered, as was the less likely possibility that these small craft could themselves attain transluminal speeds.
The Alien Technology
The propulsion system of the craft, of obvious priority interest to our group, was indeterminate for long after its recovery. While still subject to the laws of physics (as we imperfectly understand them), the craft's workings went far beyond our technological grasp at that time. Unfamiliar, nearly magical technology was displayed, devices that we now know as integrated circuits, fiber optics, supertenuous fibers and metals, and an unfathomable power source and drive mechanism, as well as other technology which it is not necessary to discuss in this document.
Implications and The Zodiac
The military implications of the presence of these craft in our atmosphere and the possibility that they may have established friendly communications with our Cold War enemies were obvious and unsettling. The discovery of these craft led to an equally unsettling reexamination of the European intelligence reports referred to above, as well as the postwar investigation by Gen. Jimmy Doolittle of the "ghost rockets" of Norway (see appendix C, attached, top secret report of Gen. James Doolittle). The President was made aware of these developments and ordered the formation of a special group of prominent scientists, Cabinet, military and intelligence officers.
The popular literature bandies about the name of "Majestic 12" or "MJ-12" for this special, secret task force formed by the President. Other names by which it has been identified in the public mind through disinformation programs are "Project Saucer" and "Aquarius." While it is possible that any one or more of these was the name of the group at one time, for most of its existence the code name for the group and the extensive program which it spawned has been and still is "Zodiac," with each of its operational subdivisions known by the name of a different zodiacal sign, including Aquarius.
The Decline of Government Involvement in Zodiac
As the years passed, the operational involvement of high government officials in Zodiac waned to a certain degree, especially with the conclusion of the Eisenhower Administration, although most presidents were still kept informed of key overview facts as they came to light. However, it fell to the Agency's supervisors of Zodiac to determine who else in the government should have access to this very closely-held and highly compartmentalized information, to the point that, like the heads of military intelligence before World War II, they sometimes decided not to share information with certain presidents, including Nixon and Ford.
All other presidents were kept reasonably well-informed, including Jimmy Carter, who went back on his pledge to reveal all of the information the government had on UFOs once he was elected president.
Agency Control and Alien Craft Recovery
As of the early 1980s, the Agency exercised complete control over Zodiac, with the cooperation of the rest of the intelligence community and the military branches, particularly the Air Force and the Navy. From 1947 to the early 1980s, Zodiac recovered eleven other alien craft in various states of disrepair, from a diminutive single-seat flying wing to a rather large craft that had to be trucked into Wright Patterson by dead of night.
Extraterrestrial Beings and Technological Discoveries
Besides the technology, the beings found with these craft are central to the Program's investigations. There seem to be at least four types of occupants, the two described above, as well as humanoids that appear to be almost human and Nordic in appearance, and small, strong, hairy ones.
An Unsettling Incident and New Assignment
Details of the following incident should be carefully considered and recalled, as they will be useful to you during the first phases of your assignment. By the late '60s, Zodiac had been able to recruit members of an elite recovery team.
Within the last 48 hours, the team was dispatched to a remote site in the Midwest where a craft and bodies were collected and ferried to the appropriate locations, seemingly without incident. This time, it’s become clear to our debriefing teams at Wright Patterson that the first members questioned could not account for an hour and a half's worth of time spent at the site.
You have been selected to be part of a newly forming debriefing team whose task will be the correlation and analysis of these events. Your assignment is to find out why even the most senior members of the team shared in this memory gap, and to find out what happened during that hour and a half.
Instructions for the Report
Your report is to be in writing and is to have one original and no copies. It is to be hand-delivered by you to me. It is to bear the security stamps "TOP SECRET," "ZODIAC" and "EYES ONLY." You will let no one see your report but me and you will not share its contents with those with whom you are working at Wright Patterson without my authorization.
Very Truly Yours, Col. David H., USAF
Masters read it through again. When he looked up, an Air Force captain had entered the room. "Are you finished with the letter?" he asked in a flat tone. "I'm done with it," Masters sighed, and for the first time in his professional career heard his own voice waver with what sounded like nervousness. He handed the letter to the captain, who took it without comment, counting the pages.
The captain took out a cigarette lighter and lit the corners of the pages, gingerly dropping them into a red "burn barrel," stirring the ashes with a metal rod. After the papers had been reduced to small wisps of white ash, the captain took another piece of paper out of his briefcase, signed it, and presented it to the airman, who also signed it. The airman then presented it to Masters, who signed the sworn declaration of witnessing the destruction of the document.
Here's the deep dive article by Dolan that also includes the full scan of the UFO mag article. It connects dots between the recent revelations, the Davis/Wilson notes etc.
ChatGPT helped convert the barely readable pdf-to-text conversion to something readable, but preserving the content, only added headers and formating. I was out of tokens so I couldn't convert the other chapters, they're very interesting as well. All chapters are in the provided link.
Just to be clear, not making claims or drawing conclusions just wanted to share this before 3rd part Reddit apps will be killed at 30 June. Yeah fuck you, spez

Dear members of lightsabers,
After careful deliberation and in response to recent developments, the moderation team has unanimously agreed to join in lockstep with many of our fellow subreddits in locking our sub as a form of protest against Reddit's new API policies and the potential threat to third party apps.
Borrowed from Android:

Why are we implementing the subreddit lockdown?
As passionate moderators of this community, we strongly believe in the power of third-party apps and their integral role in shaping the Reddit experience. These apps have provided countless users with unique features, enhanced usability, and diverse interfaces that have enriched their engagement with the platform.
However, recent changes to Reddit's API policies and the potential threat of limiting or even phasing out third-party apps have raised concerns within our team and the wider Reddit community. We believe that these changes may hinder innovation, limit user choice, and disrupt the vibrant ecosystem of apps that have flourished alongside Reddit.
By going private, we aim to draw attention to this issue and demonstrate our collective opposition to the potential consequences of these policies. We stand in solidarity with the developers, users, and moderators who rely on third-party apps to connect, share, and engage with Reddit in unique and valuable ways.
I don't use 3rd party apps, why am I being punished?
We understand that this temporary restriction may cause inconvenience, but we hope that by taking this action, we can shed light on the importance of maintaining a healthy and diverse ecosystem of third-party apps. It is not only the user experience that is at stake; the impact of these changes can also affect moderation tools, accessibility, and the helpful bots that have become an integral part of reddit. If you use the official reddit app, we encourage you to try to understand the benefit these apps bring, and the parity between the official and third parties are leagues differing.
What should you expect during the lockdown?
During this lockdown period, the subreddit will be set to private for 48 hours starting June 12th, 8AM UTC -5. You will not be able to interact with the community at this time. We will evaluate our stance after 48 hours.
How can you join the protest?
If you share our concerns and wish to voice your support for third-party apps, we encourage you to actively participate in discussions across Reddit, engage with developers, and express your opinions to the appropriate channels within the platform. Let your voice be heard and help raise awareness of the vital role that third-party apps play in shaping the Reddit experience.

It was a difficult decision to extinguish the light on this sub but ultimately, it needs to be done to get Reddit to stop efforts that will irreparably damage our local and our global community. In the interim, spend your time playing around with/installing your sabers, sign this open letter, and join the crew on the affiliated Discord server.
Thank you for your understanding, support, and solidarity during this crucial time. MTFBWY.
Best regards,
The Moderation Team of lightsabers

Hi everyone! I wanted to know about any experience/tips/insights you have for an experienced attorney from a smaller firm trying to lateral into Biglaw.
I've been a practicing attorney for about 7 years in a major market. About 6 of those years have been spent at my current job at a plaintiff's firm handling Federal court litigation. The firm itself is small with 5 attorneys in my practice group. My job title is "senior associate". Because the firm is small, I have had a lot of great opportunities including lots of discovery and motion practice, acting as lead counsel during trials, handling multiple appeals, etc.
After COVID hit I moved from in-office to 100% remote. As a result, I moved across the country to a much smaller market. I'm preparing to take the bar in my new jurisdiction in July and am looking to try to lateral into a Biglaw position. All of the openings I have seen are looking for associates with 2-4 years of experience. I would be content to take a job at this level, and I don't care about retaining my senior associate nor do I care about trying to quickly make partner. I am worried that the amount of my experience and my "senior associate" title at my current firm would make me appear overqualified or too expensive for some of these job openings.
My area of practice is somewhat niche, so I am open to switching practice areas, although I am not sure if any firm would be willing to take a flyer on an experienced attorney who does not have subject matter experience.
Additionally, I was a late bloomer in law school. I did not do very well in my first year and ended up graduating about the middle of my class with a 3.17 GPA. I know a lot of job postings require the submission of law school transcripts, so although I have significant professional experience, I am worried about how my GPA might affect my job prospects.
I would be grateful for any advice or insight on how to approach my job search given my background. Thank you!

TLDR: what if the The Flintstones and The Jetsons exist in the same world at the same time, but separated not by time, but rather a caste system that similar in nature to Brave New World. I've had this notion since I read Brave New World when I was 11 and ChatGPT has helped me flush out the idea, anyone who wishes to expand upon this is welcome.
The Flintstones and The Jetsons exist in the same world, with The Flintstones representing a lower caste living in a reservation-like environment while The Jetsons represent a higher caste living in a technologically advanced society: 1. Socioeconomic Divide: In both The Flintstones and The Jetsons, there is a clear socioeconomic divide. The Flintstones depict a primitive Stone Age society where the characters live in modest stone houses and rely on animals for technology. On the other hand, The Jetsons portray a futuristic world where the characters reside in elaborate skyscrapers and enjoy advanced technology. This stark contrast in living conditions suggests a significant disparity between the two groups. 2. Limited Mobility: The Flintstones are depicted as being geographically confined to the Stone Age setting, often referred to as Bedrock. They have no access to advanced technology or the ability to travel beyond their prehistoric surroundings. In contrast, The Jetsons live high above the ground, relying on flying cars and other futuristic means of transportation. Their ability to move freely and explore different locations indicates a greater level of privilege and access. 3.Technological Advancement: The Jetsons possess highly advanced technology that simplifies their daily lives, such as robotic helpers, flying cars, and instant food preparation. In contrast, The Flintstones rely on rudimentary tools and animals for their day-to-day tasks. The stark difference in technological capabilities further supports the idea of a segregated society, with The Jetsons benefiting from advanced technology while The Flintstones are left behind. 4. Social Stratification: The Flintstones and The Jetsons both exhibit clear social hierarchies. In Brave New World, social classes are rigidly divided, with each caste having predetermined roles and functions. Similarly, The Flintstones' society resembles a lower caste living in a simpler, less technologically advanced state, while The Jetsons represent a higher caste enjoying the benefits of futuristic advancements. This parallel suggests that both shows explore the concept of caste systems, albeit in a less explicitly dystopian manner than in Brave New World.

1. Fred Flintstone - John (The Savage): Both Fred Flintstone and John are portrayed as individuals who question and challenge the norms of their respective societies. They exhibit a sense of individuality and struggle to conform to the rigid expectations placed upon them.
   
2. Wilma Flintstone - Lenina Crowne: Wilma Flintstone, like Lenina Crowne, can be seen as a character who represents the ideals of her society. They both adhere to the societal norms and expectations placed upon them, although they might experience occasional moments of questioning or rebellion.
   
3. Barney Rubble - Bernard Marx: Barney Rubble and Bernard Marx share similarities in their experiences of feeling like outsiders in their respective societies. They both struggle with their self-perception and seek validation or a sense of belonging.
   
4. Betty Rubble - Fanny Crowne: Betty Rubble and Fanny Crowne can be linked in the sense that they embody the conventional values and expectations of their societies. They are portrayed as adhering to social norms and being content with their assigned roles.
   
5. George Jetson - Mustapha Mond: George Jetson, as the patriarch of the Jetson family, can be compared to Mustapha Mond, the World Controller in Brave New World. Both characters hold positions of authority within their respective societies and are responsible for upholding the established order.
   
6. Jane Jetson - Linda Lysenko: Jane Jetson and Linda Lysenko share similarities as wives and mothers who navigate their roles within their respective societies. They are depicted as conforming to societal expectations while also experiencing occasional moments of dissatisfaction or longing for something different.
   
7. Elroy Jetson - Reuben Rabinovitch: Elroy Jetson and Reuben Rabinovitch can be seen as young characters who are curious and have a potential for challenging the status quo. Although their roles and circumstances are different, both characters exhibit a certain level of intellectual curiosity.
   --- Main Story.
   

In a distant future, Earth is divided into two distinct societies: the advanced and technologically superior world of the Jetsons and the primitive reservation-like society of the Flintstones. However, these societies are not separate entities but rather different levels within the same global structure.
The Jetsons, residing high above in their futuristic utopia, are part of an elite caste that enjoys all the comforts and conveniences of advanced technology. Their lives are carefully controlled, with social roles predetermined and individuality suppressed. Soma, a potent substance, keeps the Jetsons docile and content.
Unbeknownst to the Jetsons, their society is intricately linked to the existence of the Flintstones. The Flintstones, representing a lower caste, live in a secluded area called Bedrock, akin to a reservation. They are intentionally kept in a primitive state by the ruling class, who view them as a source of nostalgia and a reminder of the past.
The protagonist, Fred Flintstone, becomes disillusioned with his confined existence and yearns for something more. Through a series of events, Fred discovers a hidden passage that connects Bedrock to the Jetsons' world. Intrigued, he ventures into the futuristic society, where he encounters George Jetson, who secretly questions the monotony of his life.
Fred and George form an unlikely alliance, determined to uncover the truth about their shared world. They navigate the complexities of their respective societies, exposing the dark underbelly of control, manipulation, and inequality. Along the way, they encounter other characters from both worlds who struggle with their roles and seek freedom.
As their journey progresses, Fred and George learn about the origin of their society, discovering that it was intentionally engineered by a powerful ruling class to maintain control and prevent societal upheaval. They face moral dilemmas, make alliances, and confront the harsh realities of their world.
Together, Fred and George rally the disillusioned members of both societies, initiating a revolution that challenges the oppressive systems in place. Their goal is to bridge the gap between the castes, dismantle the control mechanisms, and allow for individuality, choice, and genuine human connections.
The story culminates in a climactic confrontation between the ruling class and the united forces of the Jetsons and the Flintstones. Themes of rebellion, sacrifice, and the search for true freedom resonate throughout the narrative, as characters from both worlds join forces to shape a new society where individuality and humanity can thrive.
As the revolution gains momentum, resistance spreads throughout both the Jetsons and Flintstones societies. The characters from both worlds start to question the predefined roles assigned to them and challenge the oppressive systems that have kept them divided.
Wilma Flintstone and Jane Jetson form a powerful alliance, embodying the strength and determination of women in their fight for freedom and equality. Together, they inspire others to break free from their prescribed roles and contribute to the movement.
Meanwhile, Elroy Jetson and Pebbles Flintstone, two young and curious individuals, uncover a hidden truth about the origins of their world. They stumble upon ancient documents that reveal a forgotten history, exposing the manipulative tactics used by the ruling class to create and maintain the caste-based society.
As the revolution gains traction, the ruling class retaliates, using their technological prowess to suppress the uprising. They deploy their advanced gadgets and employ psychological tactics to suppress the rebellion and maintain their grip on power.
However, Fred and George, driven by their determination and the hope for a better future, rally their comrades and develop ingenious strategies to counter the ruling class. They leverage the primitive yet resourceful skills of the Flintstones and the innovative technology of the Jetsons to outwit their oppressors.
The battle reaches its climax as the revolutionaries breach the fortified barriers between the two worlds. The Flintstones and Jetsons unite, demonstrating that their shared humanity and resilience are more powerful than any technological advantage the ruling class possesses.
In a final showdown, the revolutionaries expose the truth to the masses, revealing the manipulations and lies that have perpetuated their divided existence. The people, awakened to the possibilities of genuine freedom and self-determination, rise up as a collective force.
Together, they dismantle the oppressive structures and establish a new society that embraces the values of individuality, compassion, and cooperation. The remnants of the ruling class are held accountable for their actions, and measures are put in place to prevent the reemergence of a caste-based system.
The story concludes with the Flintstones and Jetsons, once separated by a vast divide, now living together in a harmonious society that integrates the best aspects of both worlds. The triumph of the revolution signals a new era where the potential of humanity is unlocked, free from the shackles of an oppressive past.
In the aftermath of the revolution, the integrated society of former Flintstones and Jetsons faces the daunting task of rebuilding and redefining their world. They embark on a collective effort to establish a fair and just governance system that safeguards individual freedoms while promoting equality and mutual respect.
Drawing upon the wisdom and experiences of both the Flintstones and the Jetsons, the new society embraces a balanced approach to progress and technology. They recognize the importance of preserving the simplicity and connection to nature from the Flintstones' world, while also harnessing the transformative power of advanced technology from the Jetsons' world to enhance their quality of life.
Education becomes a cornerstone of the new society, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and empathy. The people strive to learn from the mistakes of their past and actively work to cultivate an inclusive and compassionate culture that values diversity and encourages open dialogue.
Fred and George, as respected figures who played pivotal roles in the revolution, assume leadership positions to guide the transitional period. With their shared experiences and understanding of both worlds, they become advocates for unity, collaboration, and the continuous pursuit of a better future for all.
The new society also recognizes the importance of honoring and preserving their history. They establish museums and cultural centers that celebrate the unique heritage of both the Flintstones and the Jetsons, fostering a sense of identity and connection to their collective past.
Over time, the integrated society flourishes, with advancements in technology and social progress benefiting all its inhabitants. Collaboration and cooperation become the norm, as individuals from diverse backgrounds work together to address the challenges that arise.
However, the memory of the oppressive past remains a reminder of the fragility of freedom. The society remains vigilant, nurturing a culture that values individual rights, personal growth, and community well-being. They understand that maintaining a balance between technological advancement and human connection is crucial for the longevity and sustainability of their newfound harmony.
The story concludes with a sense of hope and optimism for the future, as the integrated society of former Flintstones and Jetsons embraces their shared humanity and collective potential. They stand as a testament to the resilience and transformative power of individuals coming together to challenge the status quo and shape a brighter world for generations to come.
As time passes, the integrated society of former Flintstones and Jetsons thrives, embracing the principles of equality, freedom, and harmony. Their collective journey becomes an inspiration for neighboring societies still grappling with similar issues of oppression and social stratification.
The integrated society reaches out to these neighboring communities, sharing their experiences and offering support and guidance in dismantling oppressive systems. Through peaceful exchange and dialogue, they foster a network of interconnected societies committed to building a more equitable and inclusive world.
As the integrated society continues to evolve, they recognize the importance of sustainable practices and environmental stewardship. They invest in clean energy technologies, conservation efforts, and the restoration of natural habitats, working hand in hand with the land and embracing a more balanced relationship with their environment.
Culture and the arts flourish in this integrated society, as creativity and expression are celebrated and valued. Artists from various backgrounds collaborate to weave together the rich tapestry of their shared heritage, creating works that reflect their journey and inspire future generations.
Education remains a cornerstone of their society, evolving to meet the changing needs and challenges of the world. They prioritize comprehensive education that nurtures critical thinking, empathy, and global citizenship. By empowering individuals with knowledge and fostering a lifelong love of learning, they ensure the continuous growth and progress of their society.
Throughout the integrated society, there is a deep sense of community and interconnectedness. Social support systems are strengthened, and individuals actively participate in civic life, contributing their unique skills and perspectives to the betterment of society as a whole. Collaboration and cooperation are not just buzzwords but integral values that guide their interactions and decision-making processes.
Fred and George, who played pivotal roles in the revolution, gradually transition from positions of formal leadership to become respected elders and mentors. They pass on their wisdom and experiences, helping to shape future generations and ensuring the continuity of the society's principles and values.
As the story comes to a close, it is evident that the integrated society of former Flintstones and Jetsons has created a lasting legacy. Their journey from oppression to liberation serves as a beacon of hope for other societies, inspiring them to challenge existing systems and envision a future where all individuals can thrive.
The story ultimately highlights the transformative power of unity, empathy, and the shared pursuit of a more just and compassionate world. It reminds us that the strength of humanity lies not in our divisions but in our ability to overcome them, forging new paths towards a future defined by cooperation, respect, and the celebration of our shared humanity.
With the integrated society of former Flintstones and Jetsons serving as a shining example of progress and unity, their influence begins to spread far and wide. The neighboring societies that once struggled with oppression and inequality are inspired by their success and embark on their own journeys of transformation.
Leaders from these neighboring societies seek guidance and collaboration with the integrated society, recognizing the wisdom and experience they possess. Through partnerships and exchange programs, knowledge is shared, and cooperative efforts are established to address systemic issues and foster sustainable development.
Together, these societies form an alliance, known as the United World Coalition, committed to creating a global community that upholds the principles of equality, justice, and environmental stewardship. They work collaboratively on a range of initiatives, including eradicating poverty, ensuring universal access to quality education and healthcare, and promoting cultural diversity and inclusivity.
The United World Coalition becomes a powerful force for positive change, advocating for the rights of marginalized communities and challenging oppressive systems wherever they exist. By leveraging their collective resources and expertise, they actively work towards creating a world free from discrimination, prejudice, and social inequality.
As the Coalition expands its influence, it faces resistance from those who seek to maintain the status quo and perpetuate division. However, their shared vision and unwavering determination allow them to overcome these obstacles, forging a path towards a more equitable and sustainable future.
In this global movement, Fred and George, revered as visionary leaders, assume vital roles in guiding the United World Coalition. Their experiences and wisdom earned from the revolution serve as a guiding light for this unprecedented endeavor, inspiring unity and collective action on a global scale.
Through ongoing collaboration and the exchange of ideas, the member societies of the United World Coalition continue to learn from one another, adapting their policies and practices to foster greater harmony and prosperity. They prioritize the well-being of all people and the preservation of the planet, recognizing the interconnectedness of social, economic, and environmental issues.
As the Coalition progresses, they leverage advancements in technology and innovation to tackle complex challenges. Sustainable energy solutions, responsible resource management, and breakthroughs in healthcare and agriculture become key focal points, ensuring the well-being of present and future generations.
Education remains at the heart of the Coalition's mission, with a renewed emphasis on fostering critical thinking, empathy, and global citizenship. By equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate an ever-changing world, they empower them to actively participate in shaping their communities and contribute to the greater good.
As the story concludes, the United World Coalition stands as a testament to the transformative power of unity and collaboration. Their collective efforts have created a world where societal divisions have been replaced by a shared sense of humanity, where differences are celebrated, and where everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive.
The integrated society of former Flintstones and Jetsons, once confined to their own worlds, played a crucial role in igniting a global movement towards a more just and sustainable future. Their journey from oppressive systems to a harmonious and inclusive society became the catalyst for change, inspiring countless individuals and communities to join the collective effort.
The story leaves us with a profound sense of hope, reminding us that by transcending divisions and embracing our shared humanity, we have the power to shape a world where equality, freedom, and compassion prevail. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of humanity and the boundless potential that lies within us all.

I don't come here for free therapy, I live alone so I am using this as an outlet. Not seeking much other than posting it on an open forum for others to see as I am working on coming out of my shell after a long sleep.
I am working through therapy and as I progress, I am going through all of these layers..
I grew up with a very manipulative mother. Dad left when I was 3, only boy around of a while until a step father showed up when I was 8 or so. Merged families but really it just created more of a shitshow.
You know they say that emotional manipulation is more insidious than physical. I had the best of both worlds of abuse so I can say from experience, emotional abuse is far more sneaky and destructive whereas physical, you at least know for sure you're being harmed..
When dad left, I (unconsciously, because I was a child) closed off emotionally. Whenever I would express any emotions I was verbally/physically abused. Which later on caused me to steal, lie, get into fights. Where I just viewed my mother as my enemy. She called the police on me and they would me I would end up in jail if I continued down the path I was on...
Just looking back, I would have benefitted from therapy, there was obviously a reason for my behavior but now at 29, would've made a little sense to have some sort of outlet..
Got into weed and alcohol and smoking tobacco around 15, smoking is something I still do and I can feel it so deep rooted in how I cope with everything since life for me went down some crazy roads because of the level of neglect and traumatization.
At 18 I joined the Marines, made sergeant in 3 years, excelled but due to my torn up emotional work, fell to depression while serving. The military is another narcissistic relationship with a power structure so although it was my dream to be a career Marine, I left for another adventure.
That adventure was me being sucked back into my harmful family vortex where I go from being a sergeant of marines, to a depressed little boy because who knows what the fuck happened while I was serving my country.
I was sabotaged, without even a chance in the fight. Realistically, shit got so bad that I feel like I should be dead. I'm definitely not but something about this whole thing is eerie to me.
While at the deepest points of my depression, my family just watched and mostly, made it worse for me. Putting me in the middle of a second divorce, forcing me to work and earn the families income with my stepfather whom was a bottle of rage. I would chainsmoke cigarettes in the basement of our family house seemingly just waiting to die because the pain was unbearable and there was no escape.
Not to mention, during this catastrophe, I was working as a private contractor as an undertakemoritican so you can imagine the emotional weight I was carrying meanwhile having no means to any form of emotional/physical support.
There's alot to the story but I'm only trying to give a synopsis.
I left and set out on the open road, ended up living hundreds of places, 4 countries. Learning different healing modalities, experiencing ancient entheogenic medicines such as peyote, ayahuasca, bufo alvarius, ect.
Life has been a wild fuckin ride. But at this point in my healing journey, so much is coming up about childhood and how for 29 years I have never experienced love or healthy emotional support. How much its jacked up my sense of reality and has caused me to attract some awful people and experiences into my life.
Just last year, my mother blurted out at a dinner with some old friends, "I thought I was going to find him (me) dead in the basement"
When confronting my mother about what the fuck that was about, and I ask "why didn't you help" her response is, well you were being stubborn...yeah because I was in alot of fuckin pain and no one was listening to me.
My reaction is nothing other than confusion.
Weirdly enough, my traumas forced me to take an incredible difficult journey into healing. I see alot of fortune in my story. However, I fundamentally believe that if I was not "lucky" to some degree, I wouldn't have lived a life past 25.
Against the grain, I fought my way to this point. I live alone in Mexico, in a nice little town where I spend my days finding my way back to life.
This relationship I have with my mother has shown a great weak point in me. I was trained and conditioned to be obedient and never hold her accountable for these actions. If it were any one else in my life, this behavior would unequivocally not be tolerated and even met by force if it came to that but I am curious why we allow our parents to cut so deep. Is it something we even have control over.
When I have the strength, the way (at this moment) I am choosing to deal with her is giving her the ultimatum of seeking help or not having the ability to be physically around me. She plays a very hard game of manipulation and any attempts to hold her accountable, she whimpers and cries and have no real grasp on the damage she has caused not just me but my sister and the family I barely have a relationship with at this point. Something in me struggles with standing up to it because nothing is ever heard and nothing ever changes. I am prepared for both the best and the worst case scenario.
The person I am is not vindictive, honestly have a ton of compassion. This level of abuse, neglect and manipulation should be condemned and shunned as it could have resulted in my losing my life but I believe everyone deserves a second chance, if there is effort put in to fix what's broken. I would like a relationship with my mother but it's not up to me. I don't hate her, I have alot of work to do to fix myself because of everything but obviously it has also served me. But it ends here and it'll never be tolerated again.
The positive here is I will have a life of helping others heal. This life has been a torment but a weirdly beautiful one. Just happy to be here and happy to share. If you have read everything, just know it comes from a vulnerable place but the only way out is through.

Welcome to our friendly Discord roleplaying community! We are currently seeking both players and game masters to join our ranks. Game masters play a crucial role in breathing life into our server, and we would greatly appreciate new and enthusiastic individuals willing to take up the mantle.
Our server offers flexibility to accommodate real-life schedules. You won't be burdened with obligations or commitments if you find yourself busy or unexpectedly occupied. We operate as a play-by-post server utilizing the mechanics of D&D 5e. This means players, including game masters, take turns and engage in roleplay through text. This system also allows players to earn experience points, simplifying the gameplay for everyone involved. When a game master is not available, players are free to pursue their own activities. However, game masters are welcome to have their own characters and participate as players, but they are not permitted to create content solely for themselves. This ensures a fair and balanced experience for all players on the server.
Our setting is based on the world of "Eberron" in the aftermath of a devastating 102-year war that ravaged the continent of Khorvaire, resulting in the fragmentation of the once-mighty kingdom into 12 warring nations. Known as the Last War, it was hoped that with its conclusion, the thirst for bloodshed and conflict would finally be quenched. However, beneath the surface, political tensions continue to simmer, threatening to erupt at any moment. Will the righteous Silver Flame reign over Khorvaire, or will the shadowy goblins reclaim their former glory and reclaim the land?
In this tumultuous environment, where do you stand? Will you emerge as a hero, a villain preying on the weak, or perhaps someone seeking wealth and riches? If you've found yourself captivated by this description, we invite you to join our small but welcoming community of adventurers. We've experienced a temporary slowdown due to real-life issues faced by both players and game masters. However, with the help of enthusiastic adventurers and game masters eager for a fantastical experience, we aim to make a comeback.

I'm a recent PhD graduate in the field of proteomics/molecular biology from an Ivy League university, currently navigating the complex job market within the biotech industry. Over the last couple of months, I've been actively sending out applications but the results have not been as expected, which has led me to seek advice here.
During my PhD, I gained substantial experience in mass spectrometry-based proteomics, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques, particularly RNA-seq and Ribosome profiling, including both sample processing and integrative analysis of omics data. In my laboratory, I used human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs) differentiated into three terminally differentiated cell types as a model system. Being the first PhD student in the lab, I was instrumental in establishing several key protocols, including CRISPRa/i. Prior to my PhD, I earned a master's degree and undertook various internships, where I further expanded my skill set, working with different model organisms and learning a multitude of techniques. Despite having a diverse range of skills, substantial research experience, and a number of quality publications, I've been faced with either immediate rejections or no response to about 90% of my job applications.
Recently, I reached out to my professional network, and my CV was presented directly to hiring managers. The feedback was positive, with many stating that they would soon post jobs for which I'd be a great fit. However, I've been puzzled by the low rate of interviews obtained through platforms like LinkedIn. I've had a few interviews in Boston, but none of the opportunities were appealing to me.
Many of the jobs I've applied to require specific individual skill sets, such as mass spectrometry, NGS, gene editing, or experience with hESCs/iPSCs. I believe I match these requirements well, yet I've still faced rejection. At this point, I'm starting to question if I might be overqualified for these roles, given my broad background and variety of skills.
I would truly appreciate any insights or advice from hiring managers or professionals experienced in the biotech recruitment process. I'm eager to understand how I can better position myself in the job market and secure a position that aligns with my qualifications and interests.

In regards to the recent anti- trans laws passed I decided to write a poem. I don’t really know it can be considered a poem because it doesn’t have what it seen as the structure of a poem, really. W hen I posted it to Reddit it changed the format also, that hat I had typed it in So I don’t know what you would call it in particular. But I wanted to write something and came up with this.( lol) I didn’t know where I should I put it, but wanted to share it. So I thought it might be a nice place to start.( This is my first post so I’m pretty new to all this) It’s called “The binary!” I hope you enjoy! (Sorry for the grammar)
THE BINARY I hate being trans sometimes But not in the way you think, I hate constantly being excluded in conversation, As it is like my existence is astray I am never even acknowledged, As my entire life is reduced to two options, One or the other, Black or white, To the parts that lie down below, To my presentation, My voice, My Hair, My body, Society, Social norms, Never recognizing intersectionality, Because of course it was how you were born, Because the binary always proceeds No less than two, no more, Because the binary always proceeds It fits us in tiny little cute boxes with a pink or blue bow. But for the ones who don’t fit exactly You better fit, You better fit, You better fit, You BETTER FIT, I hate being trans sometimes, But not in the way you think, I hate how I’m only an extension for one to spread their political views, I hate how I am the victim of one’s infatuation, I hate how I am the butt after every joke for the man to regurgitate from our sight, I hate how I have to make a mark to be recognized, As I’m the only one who has pronouns, a name and a body, But of course my Genitals are what you're more concerned with, not who I am, But as class is in session they split into two groups on either side, I was confused, wary, in a daze, Because no child should have to ask the question what about me?, Why I’m I not included, Why does everyone ignore my existence, Because no child should be told that their identity is a phase, That they are confused, crazy, or just gay, That they deserve less opportunities, to stay silent, and it will go away, Have no access to pay, or health care, No child should have to ask, Why am I different from everyone else, Is there something wrong with me because of the way I am, But You made yourself clear You don’t want us in your bathrooms , You don’t want us in your spaces, You don’t want us in your schools, Restaurants, stores, businesses, houses, streets, parks, You don’t WANT US TO EXIST Because the binary always persists, Forces us into a room one blue the other pink, And if you don’t fit exactly You better fit, Your better fit, You better fit, You better fit, You better fit, YOU BETTER FIT, My life decided by what lies in my pants, Called predators and groomers to children, Rights taken away by your command, Yet you stand, as finely packed lies lie about your fridge, But of course it just about the Children, What about the suicide and murder of trans kids, The lack of rights, Empathy, Reduction of space, Lack of safeness, Lack of acceptance, The homeless rate, But we’re the ones that should be ashamed, But there you stand in your bubble of hate, You made yourself clear with your silly laws and cognitive dissonance, As we lie fault to our own detriment, as we’re supposed to sit as willing participants, But you made you truth evident, You don’t want us in your rooms , grocery stores, clubs, schools, movies, relationships, sports games, businesses, in positions of power, ads, parades, concerts, award shows, YOU DON'T WANT US TO EXIST, BUT THE BINARY ALWAYS PERSISTS Forces us to choice what we’re assigned, Stuffing us tightly and if we don’t fit exactly, You better fit, Your better fit, You better fit, You better fit, You better fit, You better fit, YOU BETTER FIT, I hate being trans sometimes, Not because I hate myself, Because everyone hates me for being trans.
( Edit: I thought this would be nice to also post this in non-binary but I don’t know 100% for sure. So it anyone has any thoughts or feels I should it there also, or that you feel it doesn’t belong here in this particular subreddit, feel free to let me know!)

Introduction

Hey everyone! Chives here.
It’s been a busy few days since the stock list was first reviewed by some community members on Tuesday. I can’t link to other posts on this subreddit, but I will pin a comment which does link to other posts from earlier in the week.
One key post I believe people should read is my last DD post, detailing the distinction between the Stock Ledger and the Stock List. Check that pinned comment for a link. I’m going to assume that you’ve looked that post over, so please check it out.
I have been talking at length with those investors who traveled to Grapevine about their process and that will be explained more below. I did not travel to Grapevine myself. I want to talk about privacy expectations and concerns, and I want to address and apologize for some implications within those posts about other community members. If a person was a public figure, or did not share their name ahead of time, and was not verified on the stock list - that does not mean they aren't DRS today. They could have DRSd after the record date, or DRSd through an LLC. The stock ledger is the ongoing live accounting of named record holders, and the stock list is only a snapshot from the record date.
I feel as though the response from other communities has had a chilling impact on discourse and discussion, and hope to address that in depth. I did make several comments in other posts over the last day with similar information which curious parties can review. Let's dive in.

The Stock List, and what is Public Information

The stock list is created annually as an authoritative resource of who has voting rights on the record date. Any stockholder of record has the ability to review the stock list. Additionally, any beneficial owner who can satisfactorily prove their identity and beneficial ownership also can review the stock list. These routes allow the possibility to, by appointment with the GME legal team, review the stock list - and is a lengthy process which was successfully navigated by multiple people this year.
The stock list is a public resource which issuers are required to create and make available to investors per the Delaware Codes. By direct registering in your own name, it is possible for others to review this list and find your position. Some investors may not have been aware that this is how the system works. Community figures recognized as familiar with systemic intricacies like Dave Lauer did not realize that this information would be publicly available. https://i.imgur.com/6fPL8gB.png
As a founder of WhyDRS.org and as a longtime contributor to DRSGME, I have known for years that direct registration with a publicly traded company does come with the caveat that your name and position will be listed on the public ledger. A recent example was the release of the BBBY filings through Ch11 bankruptcy, which displayed names/positons/addresses of investors. It has been a surprise to me personally that so many were not aware of this fact, but I am glad that it has become a focus point.
I do believe that one of the only positives of holding through a broker, and therefore Cede, is semi-anonymity. Your name and position will be viewable to your Broker, of course, but not to the broad investing public - and individuals viewing the stock list would not see your name, as you would be included in the large aggregate holdings of Cede and Co. It is still possible to hold shares through an LLC you control rather than in your own name, and introduce another step of obfuscation, if you would like to have legal title of your own shares.
Some users, including myself, were approached and made aware that investors were going to view the stock list. These users were asked if they would share the name they hold shares under. I decided of my own accord to share my name with them, and after Tuesday 6/6, they told me my exact position as of 4/21/23 (the record date). Due to this proof that they viewed the stock list, I believe all other information shared is accurate. No positions were shared unless they were consulted and consented ahead of time. Public figures were searched for in order to confirm DRS position under their name, but specific positions were not shared.

Why share the stock list?

A lot of useful hard data can be derived from the stock list – such as average position size, most common position size, geographic distribution of investors, and much more. As I have been told - most of this data has not yet been shared, and will still be shared over the coming days.
The stock list is a public document available to anyone who secures an appointment with the issuer’s legal team by satisfactorily confirming that they are stockholders. It is every investor's right to access this list if they choose to do so.

The Legal Citations

There have been multiple prominent figures, (including Dr. Trimbath)[https://twitter.com/SusanneTrimbath/status/1667275379806019584?cxt=HHwWgIC9wfqHraMuAAAA], who are under the impression that the posts regarding the stock list were in violation of Federal Law. This is a serious allegation that I have spent time diving into and hope to satisfactorily address here.
The CFR code cited was: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-17/chapter-II/part-240/section-240.14a-7#p-240.14a-7(a)(2)(ii)
This code is clear that it would be illegal to share personal information from a stock ledger, such as addresses, for reasons other than solicitation around a proxy vote. There are two reasons I believe this code does not apply.
First, notably, the CFR is referring to the stock ledger and not the stock list. As I mentioned in my adjacent post exploring the difference between the stock list and the stock ledger, the stock list is a document generated and derived from the stock ledger in adherence to Delaware codes. Users who shared information from the stock list also did not solicit any other investors for any reason.
Second, the investors who accessed the stock list received confirmation from GME legal that they secured appointments through Delaware codes and not through the federal CFR codes governing the stock ledger.
https://i.imgur.com/GPi0fAs.png
Here is a link to the relevant Delaware codex under which investors successfully gained access to, and took information from, the stock list. Section 220b1 is most relevant.
https://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/c001/sc07/#220
(b)Any stockholder, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose, and to make copies and extracts from: (1) The corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records
The purpose of examining the stock list was to empower apes to dig deeper into verifiable data, as has always been a core tenet of our community. I would encourage all readers to familiarize themselves with the difference between the stock ledger and the stock list and then review the relevant legal codes linked above. I am not a lawyer and would appreciate your sharing alternative interpretations, if you have them. I do not see any section of these codes which would have been violated by the posts and data shared by the investors who traveled to Grapevine. From what I can see, there is no provision for confidentiality in these Delaware codes.

Community Reception

I would like to apologize on behalf of this community for how some of the information gathered by the investors who traveled to Grapevine was presented. Although the offending post has been removed by Reddit admins, and so I can’t cite it directly, I would still like to address it.
The original post included an implication that selfless community figures, including the mods from other subs interested in DRS and GME, were not directly registered. I want to address that here. There is no way to know who is direct registered and who is not from the stock list implicitly. The stock list is a snapshot in time from the record date of 4/21/23, and it’s still possible to be holding shares in the name of an LLC they control.
Some users, like myself, were made aware of efforts to view the stock list and chose to provide their names ahead of time. The vast majority of investors were NOT made aware and were NOT asked to share their names, and therefore were NOT able to be ‘confirmed’ or ‘verified’. This is in no way indicative that anyone who was not asked, or was asked and did not share their personal info, is not direct registered.
There is no issue if any individual feels uncomfortable about the idea of their information being recorded on the stock list. I believe that the truth, that direct registration under your own name means the publication of your name on a public resource, is a net positive for the investing community gathering on this subreddit. All truth is worth sharing and worth undergoing scrutiny.

The Data Still To Come

There is still a huge amount of primary source data to dig into from the Stock List. At this point, the list has been all but verified thanks to the users who confirmed the positions expressed were accurate including Peruvian Bull, PWNWTFBBQ and Dave Lauer.
I have checked in with the users who reviewed the stock list and confirmed they have more data to come, including:
How many accounts have one share or less? What's the most common share size listed? How many accounts with a certain amount of shares? How many holders are there from each country?
In my opinion, most of all, the stock list gives a 5th primary source and data point for DRS holdings through 2023. GameStop has shared DRS records in their 10Q and 10K, and now this community has a fifth data point which it never had before.
I am excited and looking forward to see what the broader community can discern using this data, and I appreciate the time from all who read through this post in effort to better understand the motivations and details behind the sharing of information from the stock list.
