The 2026 Barkley Marathons began with one of the strongest fields ever. The starting field came from 15 Counties as well as 15 States, and included ten women. The course seemed not to care. Over 70% of the field is done. #BM100

seems a bit ghoulish to hijack an email thread about saving First Monday in order to promo your AI-reviewed "journal," but maybe that's just me

Today, I would like to present a deep dive into feminist history that got away from me.
Like, really got away from me.
It is about the futility of a politics of appeasement. It is about the unburial of a neglected feminist history. But most of all, it's about lesbian feminism, and sins unforgiven.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

This thread, and to be frank, it's interesting to see that posting figurative death threats is the hill so many leftist men are willing to [redacted] upon. See you all on fedsky, I guess
especially in these incredibly high tension times, you should simply not make even super obvious jokes about killing people on social media websites imo
and I get why websites like Bluesky are taking this stuff rather seriously at this particular point in time, personally

When I worked for Starbucks full-time, I'd routinely get scheduled to close the store at 10pm then come back and open it at 5am. For a fun bonus, management would schedule full daytime shifts, then send us home halfway through to cut labor costs.
Starbucks workers deserve a fair contract.
Starbucks workers deserve a fair contract.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
