so, on these motions to remove stuff from the consent agenda, I’m voting no on all of them, not on the substance of any them, but just in the interest of hoping things go fasterPermalink On twitter.com

R14 passes; oh well. Onto R32, on strengthening YDSA (which was removed from the consent calendar). I don’t know which way I’m going to vote on this yet.Permalink On twitter.com

I guess the main objection here is just the price tag? I thought we liked spending money here…Permalink On twitter.com

Yeah it sounds like this resolution would do too much splitting up; let’s keep YDSA and DSA closer together (which I guess means voting no)Permalink On twitter.com

ok so yeah I’m voting no on R32 but my feelings still aren’t too strong on it; I’d be ok if it passes. Vote your conscience on R32. #DSACon21Permalink On twitter.com
