Re conferences that involve the U.S.: people should probably just do virtual ones if possible. If it’s not safe for others to enter the U.S. it’s also not safe for many people to leave it.
Many immigrants I know are not leaving right now as far as possible.
A Singaporean friend who went home for a routine visa stamping had his visa categorically and arbitrarily denied (this rarely happens to us) and he can’t return. The degree of fuckery is high all around
@skinnylatte holy shit. Imagine that. You have a life and everything and can't return to it without warning or any preparation.
@Dodo_sipping always high on my mind when I leave and now I’m never leaving
