Have you seen GLAAD’s ad encouraging people to vote? How would y’all have tackled this? https://www.glaad.org/blog/glaads-conversation-ad-documents-trump-administrations-anti-lgbtq-record

Is the DC DMV finally open? 👀

I’m looking for examples of accessible / ADA-compliant color palettes. Not a color palette builder tool, but a gallery of compliant color palettes I can use for inspiration. Please share your favorites here. Thanks!

Taking an informal survey how many firms (I) have the junior and midlevel summer associates plan the bulk of the summer events (lunches but also evening events) and (ii) count time spent on the summer program as qualified billable work (in that partners see how much you bill to it on your time sheet)?

My office is doing an eventual RTO office, but most of my team is in another state, so not really seeing the point of going. Anyway to convince them that I shouldn’t be expected to go back in if I’m on of the couple people in a different state office?

Pros n cons of brillio... Honest answer please

Current DEI Professional, can everyone support me on the likes so that I can unlock being able to message someone. I will do the same in return. Thank you

I’m finding that traditional news becoming obsolete is leading to management taking their frustrations out on staff. The result is a mass exodus in the industry, at least in my area. Are you experiencing the same?

It's me again! Can someone please share insights what happens after Accurate Background is completed? Until yesterday my start date was going to get pushed back because of it but they sent me a copy of the report today and I reached out to the recruiter but she's not responded. Potential start date is 10/3. Thanks.

Could someone tell me a bit about Yuzu Yellow or Mosaic? Thanks!

We're always looking for new ways to make things easier for our customers and clients, but sometimes I just want to take a step back and breathe.

Hi everyone,

I'm having pre-joining session scheduled today. Please let me know the agenda of this session.

3 fan art images... 8 character close up and a 10pg comic in blender 1 a month. While creating assets to sell and posting. And writing and getting certifications. MERRY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.

Are there any pharmacists here who transitioned out of retail?

Is anyone doing virtual volunteer work? If so, where? I don’t have much time but the time I do have I want to spend meaningfully!

Happy Pride! Wondering: we have an unique POV in life. Have you used your identity to help land you a gig? How so?

I see recruiters encouraging Women, POC, and LGBTQIA to apply. How does one show they identify as the third?

What brands do Pride right? Any favorite campaigns come to mind? Or on the flip side, any campaigns you dislike for being tone-deaf or performative?

Does anybody know what the tolerance + LGBTQ+ culture is like at Home Depot corporate in Atlanta?

I am an advertising professor studying how people’s identities shape their experiences in advertising. I am interested in interviewing LGBTQ+ folks to learn whether and how your identity shapes your experiences and perspectives on advertising and the work you create and produce. If you’re willing to chat, email me at kwindels at UFL dot edu.

Let’s not have pride this year that is all about rainbow colors. Remember those who have lost their lives during the AIDS crisis, and the years they were ignored by the government and couldn’t get healthcare to save their lives. Same as what is happening today - those who are not privileged don’t have equal resources, or even access to healthcare. That’s why equality should matter for everyone. It’s not just a party, it’s to show that we’re still here and we will not give up.

Im asking this everywhere - is anyone in a virtual book club that is accepting new members?

My partner hates my long working hours.

It is really hard to do well in this business without sacrifice and my partner doesn't like it. To be fair that sacrifice is her... Most nights,over the weekend, and during every meal. She deserves better but I either sacrifice time or sacrifice earning potential.

I don't know how to solve this problem.

Happy Gay New Year!!!

Eurovision!

Does anyone know of a good therapist they could recommend in the LA area? Saw someone post something similar to this in the bowl the other day so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask. They don’t have to be LGBTQ+, but it would help if they have some experience in that area.

Just wanted to say, as a guy in my mid-20’s, cheers to all the 30-40+ y/o LGBTQIA+ folks here—I know we roll our eyes at the performative rainbows on everything now, but you folks made this possible for the rest of us—you fought for acceptance, for our rights, and you made it through the struggle so people my age don’t have the same weight to carry, so we don’t have to be as afraid.
We have a long way to go, and I’ll carry the torch too, but I really think y’all deserve more gratitude. Happy 🏳️‍🌈

Hmm... our clients just paused ads on Teen Vogue due to homophobic tweets by the outlet's new editor-in-chief, Alexi McCammond.

Had an associate of mine recently confront me and say he has a crush on me. Told him nope and that would be very unprofessional. He has reassured me that this won’t impact our working dynamic but lately there’s been a lot of pushback on any direction given to him or the team. I’m growing concerned he is holding something against me.

How should I approach this?

Has anyone changed their pronouns at work before? How did it go?

Shooting an email to HR doesn't seem right 😅
