so many things in this world are bleak and depressing but my God when you think about HIV/AIDS research
I just want to cry
it was a death sentence for so long
people lost so much
whole generations of queer elders were lost
now we have basically a vaccine

At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance.

Been thinking about this in light of this post going viral yesterday - there’s this strange belief that online leftposters hold enough political influence that voicing disapproval will sabotage democrat campaigns, but are irrelevant enough that politicians wanting votes should ignore their concerns

As a Black woman who--as I found out by happenstance--grew up in the same white bread town she did & attended her same high school, this was exactly my feeling too
I'm going to suggest that the DS9 stuff was fairly clearly not primarily for us white viewers. It was a love letter to Black Trek fans, both old and new. That's why it aired the first week of Black History Month here in the US.

Someone else mentioned that this is the first Trek show that will be written by millennials and not by people older than us and as a millennial, I think about that a lot
Yeah DS9 is the way it is because so many of the writers had worked on TNG and wanted to change how they wrote Star Trek.
SFA has that seem feel in response to Discovery.

LRP: I think part of The Problem Society Has is that a lot of people only interact with 15-17 year old girls:
1) when they are themselves 15-17 and attracted to them
2) in semi-pornographic material, online and elsewhere

This is that this is basically the end of higher ed. The ROI for education in academia is extremely low as is, but at least you had tenure to look forward to and working on what’s interesting. Take the first and prosecute the second and there’s no incentive.
This has slowly been happening at all but flagship public universities. This would accelerate the practice, and I expect more states (including some blue states) to follow suit in the coming years.
Breaking, from me: An executive order from Oklahoma's governor directs most of the state's public colleges to "phase out tenure." #AcademicSky #HigherEd @chronicle.com

And yet, if requested or required to abet Donald Trump's embarrassing campaign to obtain one, I would prefer to shoot myself in the head. Funny, that.

News from Poland. Apparently the Americans have started circulating form letters nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize - all the nation in question has to do is sign it. The Speaker of the Sejm told them to fuck off and the US Ambassador has had a meltdown.

I hope this doesn't come out wrong, but even before I transitioned (so, pre- higher testosterone) I had the thing men talk about as being universal for us where I'd generally be up for sex with any woman I liked enough to be friends with (and some I didn't).

I understand folks are scared but I want you to think about the mechanics of this.
There are more polling places (>100k) than ICE and CBP agents combined, so they can only pick a few districts to try to intimidate.
Now what happens when cell phone footage of that goes online in the early morning?
