Is there any humiliation worse than putting a meme you thought would bring the house down in your lesson slides, only to have your students sit silently and blankly when it appears? 🫠😅

I graduated straight into the housing crash with a Religious Studies degree and no plan.

Good thing I’m not about to graduate into an even bigger recession with the Most Woke of all unemployable degrees (sociology, with a focus on defeating the far right), because that would SUCK lololol

What’s wild to me is now Congress is so willing to give up anything they have in terms of power, influence and governance.

Like I know the majority of them couldn’t care less about us or democracy, but I would have assumed they’d at least recognize they’re bowing themselves into irrelevancy.

Good news for folks who are feeling hopeless in this moment, hard won from my experience as an activist + some wise insight from Greta Thunberg.

Haircuts. They wanna regulate f*cking haircuts 😡🤦
We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.
GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation
The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

" “The biggest weapon against Al Qaeda and Islamic extremism is ‘Sesame Street,’” [conservative Republican and former USAID Administrator] Mr. Natsios said in an interview, recounting how successful the show had been in Egypt when the American government helped fund it during his term in office."
Why the Arabic ‘Sesame Street’ and Other Cuts Are Not Really About Fraud
As President Trump and Elon Musk cut federal programs, they often equate political and policy differences with corruption.

Democrats as they’re lined up against the wall by fascists:

“Remember everyone - set a good example and abide by the rules of decorum”

I encourage you to - every so often - take a scroll through rightwing news headlines. Just to understand that these people live in the Upside Down. The things we hear about on the left of the spectrum, they don’t at all. Until they are impacted personally, they will remain in a bubble of lies.

Dems look like they're bidding on fascism at a silent auction
March 5, 2025 at 3:39 AM
These limp d*ck performative protests by the Dems just show that they’ve never had to actually fight for anything in their lives. They think they can make a dignified gesture of disappointment and have someone rush to address their complaints, like the useless rich people they are.

Genuinely confused by the game plan of crashing the economy?

What is this supposed to do…?

So many people voted for Trump because of the eggs…?

While I never thought I’d find myself defending bureaucracy, for an easy way to think about the positives and negatives of bureaucracy, here’s a chart fone the SOC101 textbook I’m using this semester (SOC, Witt 2024).

Bureaucracy is actually the most efficient form of government. Max Weber argued it replaced systems of promotion due to loyalty and connections, rather than expertise and achievement. In a bureaucracy you have rules and regulations.

Hope this helps 👍
Not everything is fascism! We need a better story of who we are that inspires all of us! Hope this helps!

There’s a professor who has repeatedly informed me I am not a genius (thanks, am very aware) and will never get a prestigious job because I’m not in a particularly fancy department…

…and to that I say, I think you deeply underestimate how successful a person can become out of pure spite ✨
