"I feel like in some contexts green hair takes care of announcing the trait all by itself, honestly..."

"I'm sure there are any greens who are charismatic and humble."

"You're probably right. Although most of the examples coming to mind are actors and they may just be acting? I guess that falls under good at pretending."

"Do you know many non-actor greens?"

"I don't know many greens period. I think this might be the longest in-person conversation I've ever had with one, actually, I've had longer email exchanges with the occasional statistician."

"Oh yeah 'cause of your blog. I could hook you up with some of my statistician colleagues at the universities if there are any you want to talk to."

"I've found that academics are surprisingly receptive to being cold-emailed so if there are I've probably already poked them, but feel free to make introductions if any want to talk to me for reasons I might not already be aware of, which probably covers a lot of reasons."

"How tactless are we talking here?"

"Like questioning whether you're really the one who's doing it or how you managed to pretend to be grey or about out-of-caste income."

"I can probably cope with some of that, you should see my public email inbox."

"...I'm actually halfway tempted to. It sounds morbidly fascinating."

She pulls it up and hands over her everything.

I don't think its legal for grey jobnames to be math things fyi

"Do you hook on the side—"

"I get that a lot, actually. It was more often before I switched my portrait to one that happens to be of me in winter layers."

"That's—even more casteist than I expected!!!"
