Sometimes, I ponder at what I do as an instructor.
Today, I consider how much perpetual chaos my students wake up to every day as well all are. The stress, the unknowns, the suffering, the politics—all of it. 1/2

So last time any of us need to hear anything about Kim Davis? Agreed?
Way too much going on that require more urgent attention to have that keep popping back up.

Today I am grateful that I have built a class where my lesson-planning consistently required scrolling social media to build case studies.
On the other hand, I’m sure my IG friends whom I pebble with sharing the posts I find, are less grateful. 😅

Worth pointing out the biggest supporters of trans people (which is who bigots mean by “gender ideology”) are bisexual & lesbian women. All the public “concerns” about trans people (phase, indoctrination, regret, etc) are recycled forms of homophobia. This is why LGB solidarity with the T is strong.

Anyone with more profound mandarin knowledge can give me his thoughts or opinions about my interpretation?

While learning Mandarin for my classes, I looked up the sign 张晚意 from #ZhangWangYi and what the meaning could be
So you could translate 晚 Wang as "night" and 意 Yi as "desire"
Just saying...

I maintain my theory that if men were stripped of the vote for ~120 years to compensate for the past, 95% of our problems would be solved within a weekend
The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.
Gen Z women aren't playing around.

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol
Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

Happy Loy Krathong!
My favorite Thai holiday, Loy Krathong is a day when Thai people float (loy) small boats (krathong) as offerings to the river to apologize for pollution and make wishes
Although I didn't get to go do it at the Chao Phraya this year, definitely a fun activity for river nerds

These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates.
