Texas State cancels Black history exhibit, citing anti-DEI climate

The Trump admin’s offer to give preferential treatment to institutions that toe the party line reeks of bribery in exchange for allegiance to a partisan ideological agenda.
This is corruption.

Back in grad school, Art Levine was the theorist that I was assigned to talk about in class. He was alive (still is!) so I emailed him and said "can we talk?"

As someone who does research on religious, secular and spiritual identities, and has even written about evangelical students in college, I can attest how unsettling and frankly ridiculous this latest EO is (and I'm a Christian myself).

If you aren't already following Erin Reed - its time you start, and I recommend subscribing to her substack too. Its a small monthly expense that is worth it! Being "in the know" about trans and LGBQ issues is essential and Erin is a solid journalist who is keeping us up to date.
A federal court has ruled that Florida can detransition inmates.
Some trans inmates are having estrogen pulled, hair shorn, and put through state-run conversion therapy.
This is the cruelty of abandoning incarcerated trans people.
The latest from Mira Lazine.

Federal Court Rules In Favor of Forcibly Detransitioning Transgender Inmates In Florida
Incarcerated transgender people were a major topic of debate in the 2024 elections. Now, a judge ruling on a Florida policy shows how cruel abandoning trans people in prison can be.

After attending a session on the "college novel" at #ashe2024 #cahep, I'm thinking of assigning one to my EdD Capstone course. Have been reading "The Art of Fielding" and enjoying it so much. The session opened a whole new genre to me! Thanks @brownm.bsky.social and colleagues! <3

One year my youngest (5 or 6 at the time) asked Santa for a "piece of cheese"
My mom works with 5-year-olds and some absolute gems have been on their wish lists this year: "rectangles of wood" (for building things, it was determined), a vending machine, and...pencils.

My guess is that a lot of trans people will be feeling a ton of stress and worry over SCOTUS today.
If you are a cis person, quote this and say why you support trans people and what you are willing to do to support us if the government comes for us.

The risks for those who are not allowed gender-affirming care far outweigh the risks for those who are given GAC and then later regret it (representing a very small % of individuals who receive GAC). Letting doctors, parents, and patients make decisions is key in this decision!
This lawyer is really doing a solid job (IMO) speaking clearly about trans* folks and their identities. I appreciate the judges questions so far. (I'm still not optimistic about the outcome, but at least the questions are informed and seem appropriate.)

I thanked them profusely.
