Shoutout to @tahamonster for teaching me to annotate my .do files. Going back to data I cleaned in 2019 is a *little* less nightmarish because of this habit.

Or department & race...
TFW your university is administering an "anonymous" survey, but then ask my gender & department & academic rank. You know there is a DEI issue when it is pretty obvious from just those three answers who I am.

Consider checking in on your trans+ friends/colleagues/community members. And remember there are resources at UMD and beyond if you need to talk to someone or be in community. And finally, as our messages often say: take care of yourselves and each other. ❤️
