An absolute fucking embarrassment. Shame on U of M leadership for bringing in this horseshit that should have no place in higher education.

I was going to post about this, but @duluthone.bsky.social beat me to it. If you are interested in the science of breast cancer and will be in Duluth on Thursday, Sept. 25, come to the Medical School for a community education talk! It is free, but call 218-726-8851 to register and reserve a spot.

When people defend this by saying "it was a different time," I suspect they do not consider the opinions and experiences of those who faced discrimination at that time to be valid.
Several councilors objected to giving discrimination protection to homosexual people.

So nice to wake up with coffee and nature’s drama in the north shore of Lake Superior in Tofte. I’ve been watching crows and gulls harassing an eagle, an otter hunting for breakfast, and a pair of geese.
