getting fired from your job because some dipshit student who missed their calling in the Stasi filmed you talking about gender in a class about gender
I agree but this case is even worse: it appears that the detailed course description* explicitly mentions that it will explore how gender and sexuality are depicted in YA literature.
*As the reddit poster mentions, there's some confusion and possible misreporting of which course she's teaching.

Always loved the Library of Congress. As a bike courier in D.C, when I had a moment, I'd check an exhibit, read a U.K newspaper, glance at a foreign mag. Modern version of ancient Library of Alexandria. Grateful to explore its treasures for @washingtonian.com

This is a great story about the last pigeon flyers of Baltimore
For decades, the pigeon men of Baltimore have trained their birds to compete in races. Now, they're fighting to keep the sport alive.
Baltimore’s Last Pigeon Men
A tradition steeped in history, the city’s pigeon-racing culture remains alive, if not quite thriving.

really worth watching
This is a real work of art in the Youtube Video Essay genre. Funny, witty, hates the people I hate and genuinely insightful. Highly recommend. youtu.be/ewvRS3NwIlQ?...

I can’t say it enough: U.S. culture is scam culture. It pervades everything we do. We don’t notice it because it’s the water we swim in. A party would do well to remind everybody how awful this is and propose to fix it.
I think Democrats should offer voters a broadly defined anti-fraud platform. Yes, obviously, start with Trump’s influence peddling, but don’t stop there. Online fraud is massive, almost every phone call you get is a scam, and the solution has to be federal or it just won’t work.
Still, more than 7-in-10 U.S. adults have been a victim of an online scam or attack like credit card fraud, ransomware or online shopping scams. www.pewresearch.org/...
