The second #art poster inspired by the works of Walter Crane, "Labour is Entitled" (2024) is another three cat portrait commission. The slogan itself was first used in the early 19th century. It features three workers in industries vital to cats: fishing, biscuit making, and catnip production.

It's also good and healthy to acknowledge when you've fucked up, like, say, by missing the bad faith motivation behind the publicizing of a student's homework grade to a national scale.

Exciting news! Thanks to our sale, we've rocketed all the way up to over 4,900 paying subscribers. This means we can cross another goal, a regular columnist, off our list. We plan to sort out the exact specifics in our own time, but for now, who do you think would be a good fit?

Amazon's Atrocious AI Anime Dubs Are a Dark Sign of Things to Come

we are well past the point at which anyone who cannot identify bad faith like this is disqualified from commenting on it
the girl and her mother are basically screaming THIS IS A BAD FAITH ATTACK ON TRANS PEOPLE at the top of their lungs and if you can't see that you're stupid or lying

a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

As fun as it is to mock that dogshit essay because it truly is abysmally bad, it’s important not to forget that the goal of this entire thing is to remove trans people from academia.
And this is ignoring that this is the world’s most obvious targeted campaign to demonize and remove trans people from visible positions in society.
This is an absurd overreaction and manufactured outrage over something that shouldn’t even remotely be in the news

All these men worried about women's and girls' sports. But I bet not a single one is out there calling for better funding, more programs on offer, better parity in rules between men's and women's sports, more rigorous Title IX enforcement, etc.
3. Enter Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona, one of the Democrats seeming to take that bait. Earlier this year, when asked about transgender participation in sports, he said he was “concerned” about fairness in women’s sports and said "this is one place you can't play" to trans girls.

If a cismale student submitted half-baked rape apologia to a ciswoman teacher, nobody would question the gendered nature of the harassment. Ceding the idea that this is somehow an academic dispute is fundamentally sexist and transphobic.

More importantly: we should not cede in the first place that this is in any way a serious academic dispute, when the student's mother is a J6 lawyer and the submitted assignment constitutes direct, gendered harassment of the instructor. This is not a "rubric" problem, this is an attack on trans folk
Counterpoint: a college junior should be expected to internalize basic formal and intellectual expectations w/o the instructor's explicit direction. Nobody should have to include in the rubric "assignment was submitted without diarrhea splattered all over it," "assignment is free of race-hate," etc.
If an instructor wants to impose content based instructions to focus essays on science, then they should. But my read is that this is busy work intended to make sure assignments are read and thought about and little more. So, the prompt was open ended and sloppy and invited this. 🤷♂️
