In the list of things that irritate me about the new Apple mobile iOS: adding a new instance of a timer every time I use it. I don’t need eight 15-min timers!

every time I see a headline framing this as being primarily an issue of the student having controversial opinions, and not the student being an asshole with a right wing podcaster mom who wanted to ruin a trans person’s career for the clicks, I age another ten years

Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” is merely a tune for “Lecha Dodi” iykyk
Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is not a Christmas song! Not even when sung by other artists! Stop the madness!

if you're wondering why your trans friends everywhere are a little on edge right now, it's because a story about a radical conservative christian student abusing rules and processes to deliberately target a trans instructor consistently gets reframed to omit the entirety of the anti-trans bigotry
If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

Anytime I hear ABA called "The Gold Standard" for autism treatment I want to ask "who considers it that?" What organizations authorized that. Also surprised to see no critical voices of ABA in this piece.

It's the 'gold standard' in autism care. Why are states reining it in?
Budget shortfalls and nearly $1 trillion in looming federal Medicaid cuts have prompted states to rein in spending on a widely embraced autism therapy, pinching families who depend on the services.

If ICE gets to decide against all evidence that your documentation is fake, just because they say so, then there is no law. For anyone, but especially for Black and brown people the Supreme Court has declared are warrantless arrest targets.
Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales was born in Maryland. She has a valid U.S. birth certificate, medical and immunization records, and sworn affidavits.

Yet, ICE claims her documents are “not authentic” and has held her in immigration detention for days.

Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales was arrested on Sunday. ICE won’t release her despite extensive documentation of her citizenship, her attorneys told HuffPost.

Frosty the Golem
is a brooding soul they say
but he loves to kick some Nazi ass
and he tries to every day

There were some Hebrew letters
on the hat the rabbi found
and when he put it on his head
Frosty made a shofar sound

Anyway back in high school I was in a magnet program that used to admit 50% boys and 50% girls.

Right before my year, parents of boys complained and demanded strict merit-based admission.

My year was like 80% girls so shoutout to the boymoms for making sure their sons didn't steal my slot.

It’s the first night of Hanukkah and the world seems like a very dark place. But we can bring light to the darkness. We can fight for each other and make goodness, love, and community shine through.

I am 100% opposed to these laws because in all cases they are used to pressure disabled people to die. Because that's cheaper than providing the supports they need to live. It happens in Canada with MAID, it happens in Oregon, it will happen in Illinois.
