#LGBTQIA friends affected by Anti-Trans legislation in red states - NY is not a perfect state, but head to #Buffalo. We have a thriving LGBTQIA community. Housing is midrange, w lots of options for older adults & those w special needs. Arts, culture, music, food, sports.
We aren't perfect. There are a lot of MAGA here, but there is also a lot of diversity & progressives trying to mend fences. If you want info about Buffalo, post below. I will do my best to answer. We can be your refuge. ❤️🫂🏳️⚧️ #TransRightsAreHumanRights
#Jobs in #Buffalo - Mostly education (union), manufacturing (union/midpay), restaurants (low pay) & a large medical corridor. If you work in any medical field - the best-paying option. Unions here, too. #SUNY has some of the best health insurance in the country. #TransRights
Doubtless you've heard that "we all get the same 24 hours in the day." Of course it's not true: rich people and poor people experience very different demands on their time. 1/

The richer you are, the more your time is your own - not only are many systems arranged with your convenience in mind, but you also command the social power to do something about systems that abuse your time. 3/
We cracked open the New York State Executive Budget Briefing Book to see how much funding @NYGovCuomo is offering four-year #SUNY campuses. A thread on how he is continuing our multiyear budget crisis. budget.ny.gov/pubs/archive/f… @uupinfo @nysut

.@NYGovCuomo proposes to increase funding for all 22 #SUNY state-run campuses by $32 million. This is a drop in a very large and empty bucket. Operating costs are growing due to our recent (well-deserved) contract, and Cuomo doesn't want to pay them. What's the result?
Budget cuts and overworked employees at each campus. Take SUNY New Paltz, which faces a $4.5 million budget deficit. @NYGovCuomo's refusal to #FundSUNYNow will mean that faculty and staff will be stretched to the limit as they work to serve students. recordonline.com/opinion/201812…
