Oh I imagine this approximately once a month.

Also just the sheer horror they'd experience if suddenly saddled with monthly menstruation.

At Northwestern we have gotten emails that the university has only heard about the funding freeze through the media. There's been no official communication. What a mess.

My teens were writing a paper & it was fun seeing them find sources but I realized something I hadn't thought about: at some point post-school we aren't finding sources to learn more but rather for best citation. And it's the hardest part of writing a manuscript, once the study is done

Some are helping him by asking super long "questions" to give him a break. I know Duckworth did this. Seems to maybe be planned/on a schedule. I'd love to see more of them do what Booker is doing though.

She never quite gets to how "some of the language used in public health communication during Covid was unnecessarily polarizing, and schools stayed closed too long" (which I actually agree with) leads to "therefore it makes sense why my neighbors don't vaccinate their children."

In Idiocracy the president was genuinely the smartest person around, and wanted to do a good job. As soon as somebody smarter came along he immediately followed his advice. So while there are so many ridiculous similarities, current times are much less funny and much more sinister.

It has changed so much over time and ppl don't realize. I was openly antizionist (not super vocally but in terms of belief/identity) at Stern in the early 2000s and ppl just thought I was weird but accepted me. (Some did get mad at me for protesting the Iraq war, though.)

I can see that, but it's also impractical. The truth is the current system works pretty well! We are having this convo bc ppl are meddling & creating unnecessary rules (& doing so for political reasons, they don't care about sports). Play by your gender, no need to prove anything to anybody
