We need to talk about IQ. i had my IQ tested when I was very young. It came out wicked high, because I am very good at maths and even better at pattern recognition.

IQ is eugenicist bullshit.

When language learning is involved, I think we need more literal translations. It helps understand the structure of the language, which helps learn how to parse it.

Someone I know in Minnesota is a guy who, when I met, I thought, “I will never have less in common with anyone I talk with regularly”

Without giving details, he was the very first person in Minnesota whose response to ICE made me cry. Bros with a heart!

He's back, and he's started making fun of one of the other people at his table (presumably a friend) for boasting about the size of his penis.
Loud boys at computers, and me walking toward them to ask them to lower their voices.

Then, I hear the loudest say, "That's just your internalized homophobia, dude. Why does it bother you?" followed by silence followed by "Why does it bother you?"

I spun on my heel and walked away.

here's the thing:

What these detransitioners are experiencing is *gender dysphoria*. They need therapy, not a fucking political platform. What this person experiences now, being in a body that doesn't suit them, is what every single trans person goes through when they experience puberty.

I will be down at the Stonewall Monument today where political leaders and activists will be defiantly raising the Pride flag again at 4pm.

I will be there with my SiriusXM program, live on the air, interviewing folks there, including protesters, activists, and political leaders.

It’s so important to make this point.

Yes, we should absolutely be: 👏 More 👏 humane 👏 conditions 👏

But we should also be very clear that you could be putting folks up in the Scottsdale Four Seasons with an open room service tab and you would still be causing harm.
I am really, really glad to see the conditions in immigration detention getting so much attention, particularly their effect on children. However, people should know that even under less horrific circumstances, forcible institutionalization is overwhelmingly traumatizing for anyone of any age.
Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

No one believes it. I guess one small benefit coming out of this is that even normies in MSP know the media is carrying water and doing PR for the Gestapo. Regular taxpayers who used to just go about their lives now know the press is suppressing what's happening on the ground and amplifying lies

Part of what makes Threads such an overwhelmingly devastating piece of art, why it’s haunted me since I saw it like 20 years ago and why it haunts everyone the same way, is that there is no hope. None. If the bomb drops, there is only brutality and suffering and death, and no hope

That’s the POINT
Threads director Mick Jackson has expressed worry over the upcoming remake’s focus on finding “hope even in the most challenging of times.”

“That one phrase worried me,” he tells Empire. “Hope is not part of nuclear war.”

Obvious content warning about: torture, desacration of the dead, genocide.
However the article is written with much respect for the dead and for the people who mourn them, despite everything Isreal does to prevent that.

Um hello please follow me if you are a professor of rare moths.

And then please send photos of rare moths. That sounds so awesome.
Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

Admittedly, please follow me if you are a professor of literally anything, obscure or not, and send me photos of the cool stuff you do because I LOVE THAT SHIT

Non professors who also love cool (which is to say super nerdy) stuff also very welcome.

This includes other Blackfolks, especially those of us who are light skinned. We are expected and encouraged to buy into the hierarchy, to be shitty to Blackfolks who are darker or poorer in exchange for being treated slightly less shitty by everyone else. This does not work out for us.
Antiblackness is particularly at the root of how America runs. Which all Black people know. That's why you can't untangle the bind America's in without untangling it. Everyone in America who's not Black is encouraged to participate in oppressing us. Even POC. They ALL need to center Black struggle.

1. No it doesn't give you an edge
2. There is no such thing as a hack for getting into college. Why is NYM doing Buzzfeed journalism?
3. F*ck your careers, women, just go home & teach algebra to your kids & make a sandwich
4. Even if you have a PhD in something, you are not equipped to teach it all.
Looking for an edge in college admissions? Just pull your kid from school. Homeschooling, long associated with hippies and religious conservatives in the U.S., is in the middle of a rebrand and a boom.
