my mom, brother, and myself have been close with this family for more than a decade, probably two decades. truly wonderful people. a very close knit family that has been through a lot already. the family has been extremely active in our school community for years. my mom and i had just reached out to them 2-3 days ago with plans of meeting up. i can’t even process this right now. this family does not deserve this. i really don’t know what else to say. just a wonderful family. the best people.
edit: i have to assume that some others here know them as well. please feel free to reach out if you need anything.
I’m friends with one of their children, and this is so devastating. Incredible family, full of truly interesting and vibrant people. What a miserable week.

My wife and I have been mulling over a move out of Austin as well for these reasons. We are about to have two young daughters, and even if things don’t completely deteriorate federally, I can’t imagine things will look great (for us) in Texas in the next 5-10 years. We’re both very feminine and conventionally attractive, so no hassles wherever we go on a day-to-day level, but I think the child and marriage license thing are going to be a problem in the future.
Any good recs on an accepting Denver suburb or relatively nice neighborhood in Denver proper?

She graduated last may, double major from McGill in Linguistics and German. Didn't really plan her graduation exit/post grad plans well. She came home, was a bit lost. Ended up doing some decent work here in the Linguistics field, so not a blank spot on her resume. Her real hook is that she's multi lingual (English, fluent German, close-to-fluent French and Swedish/Norwegian/Danish). She's got experience starting organizations and projects....but it's all student-level. It's hard to get a job when you are in the "no real-world experience group," which includes most of her peers (outside of some small jobs she's had).
Bottom line, she's looking for most any gig that 1) will use her language skills, and 2) will hire her. The heck of it is, while this job technically calls for her to be fluent in German, they revealed that they really won't be leaning on her using those skills that much. And so many of the reviews of the place use the word "toxic." She can be strong, and can work her ass off, so she can put up with the pressure of a hard gig....but she in particular doesn't need "toxic." She's really wrestling with this one.
She may have already tried this route, but she should apply to the IAEA, perhaps in a low-level admin position, just to get her foot in the door. It has a great campus filled with incredible people and Vienna is awesome.

The 5th Circuit’s take would turbofuck the lending and mortgage industry, so I’m assuming Thomas joined the majority because of his relationship with Crow/TCC?

Anybody got any recommendations for best girl's dorm? Hardin House? Scottish Rite? Van down by the river?
I loved my time at SRD, and it was a little more down to earth than Hardin.
If she’s going to rush and end up a Kappa, Theta or Pi Phi then Hardin, if she’s not rushing or won’t make it into those three, I would recommend SRD.-

This trip is booked. Into MGA on Monday Oct 30 and out on Sunday Nov 5
Volacano surfing at Cerro Negro with a stop in Leon. Ometepe. San Juan del Surf
Some of this looks day tripable SHould I bus or get a driver down to San Juan or rent a car.
If you’re staying in the hills outside of SJDS you will definitely want a 4x4 car (or driver who has one). We took a taxi from town one time and they could only make it up half way and then we had to walk uphill under the jungle canopy in the dark back to our place. It was not ideal.
Back when we went there was an awesome sailing cruise outside of SJDS that takes you to a gorgeous pristine beach a bit down the coast. Would highly recommend

Or Connecticut. On the coast, at least. We are NYC suburbanites but moved up here to Westport for the schools.
Very high on our list. We loved it.

Wait, they look at grades? Like high school grades?
I don't remember grades coming up much when I was going through rush. Granted it was the 80s and fraternity rush, but damn.
I just assumed sorority rush was some internal super secret ranking scale of hot, daddy's money, and legacy, with different sororities giving different weight to each metric
I was in a big 6 sorority at UT in the 00s and that was pretty much all of it. We would get very drunk during deliberations and occasionally randomly elevate or cut a girl based off of completely random criteria (ie. she has a stupid hobby or I don’t like her middle name), but it was never grades. Grades were more of a “oh neat fact” kind of thing.

Echoing the Granada rec. gorgeous colonial town. Stay at the Tribal Hotel, awesome little boutique started by a former 80s NYC club/restaurant guy (I want to say maybe involved with acme or Indochine). There was one great restaurant I’ll have to think on, but most other food was not awesome. Numu looks good though
I would also hit up San Juan del Sur for some surfing. Great swells, warm water, fun town, bad food from what I recall. Maderas Village was fun if that’s still around.
