I don’t want to start a whole big thing here, but the wording here is unintentionally revealing: the presumption that Stancil is somebody in need of redemption and has not satisfied that need through his actions is some seriously online brained nonsense.

You call your output queer just because you wrote a trans bildungsroman in verse? You still wrote it in English, a straight language for straights! Write it in Linear A, fuckass!

"Some gay people aren't queer" has done irreparable damage to a lot of people's brains
I mean, let's be clear. Heated Rivalry was never queer. Nothing that's easily accessible for the reader or viewer is queer. The only really queer media is zines printed with the contributors' blood and then immediately incinerated. Everything else is straighty straight straight.

"When Jesus saw the crowds, he was moved with compassion for them"
My relatively brief experience with evangelicalism, though never this toxic, often included the underlying sense that you have to ignore your emotions telling you something is wrong and just follow the dogma that's being given to you no matter what
Conservative figures such as Riley Gaines and Allie Beth Stuckey are urging their followers to ward off empathy for victims of ICE’s crackdown

So the homicide was premeditated. Planned in advance. Agents knew they wanted to kill him, so they prepared for the opportunity and took it.

More than a week before federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, different agents pushed him to the ground after he spit at them and broke a taillight on their SUV, according to newly unearthed videos. Watch here.

I'd actually go further and say that the "STEM"/"humanities" split is a meaningless and fake one. Mathematics and programming have as mucv in common with music and writing as with biochemistry or paleontology.
I should also note that I am someone who has humanities degrees and who *also* has ended up really enjoying doing a lot of STEM-Type-Work professionally: I’m a big fan of both.
And I refuse to play along with the idea that one is superior to the other.

I agree that it’s high fucking time that we stopped acting like we need to grovel and constantly justify the existence of some of our most incredibly elemental and ancient human pursuits.

We had close to 250 people at our interfaith vigil which is about 100 more than we can comfortably fit. Folks were packed into pews, standing in the narthex, listening on in the parish hall, and sitting on folded chairs in the aisles. It was beautiful, but I’m still so upset we had need to gather. 🕯️
