(I know cross-posting is gross, but I'm baffled that this whole thing is A Thing at a fancy school like CMU)

Hi, I'm sitting in a @SCSatCMU meeting, and the problem of women having no community is being discussed
This is a Real Problem
The one single thing that we have to help this is a weekly "empowering women" lunch

BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS NOT FUNDING FOR THIS WTF

I don't care who controls what CMU budget, that is always going to be a goddamn mystery
But it's the end of the year
If there are any companies looking for a nice write-offable donation opportunity, they need literally like $25-30k to fund this every week for an entire year
It brings like 60 @SCSatCMU women together each week and really builds a community. A lot of women openly say that without a community they would have quit
So this is not a stupid lunch thing. It really matters
If anyone I know wants to pitch in on this, DMs open! 🙏♥️

(Actually does mastodon have DMs?)

RT plz?

@heather Mastodon has "DMs" but they have a lot of documented privacy/usability/security issues.
