I'm not sure how you believe in the above verses, as I do, and don't believe that all humans are, as those created in the image of God, worth ultimate love and protection, regardless of gender, race, or origin.

Hey #MathSky. I don't talk enough about how amazing my colleagues are in my department, especially when I hear about the internal drama that goes on at some places. I'm very grateful to have both very talented and very collegial faculty to work with.
And we're looking for a new department chair.

The best part of being in the math club GroupMe is that when your kid's Cub scout pack has an extra catering tray of chicken fingers left over after the banquet, you know who to call.

"You Humans have so much art! Do you have machines to make all paintings, poems, stories and songs?"
"We experimented with that, briefly," the guide said. "But humans are both cheaper and more creative. And, well, we will make art regardless."

"Did you figure out how to fix the issue with Firefox?"
No, but I did figure out how to put up a notice to try using Chrome when the thing is broken, so at least I'm no longer getting reports. 😅

One of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.
Anyway, yeah. The overwhelming impression one gets from so many of these emails is that a lot of them are guys who have never had a real, serious friendship with a woman in their lives.
Which sucks for them, but also sucks for every woman who has to deal with them, ever.
