The assault on advanced degrees held by women is part of a pronatalism strategy to keep women out of the classroom when they should be "home having babies."
Gutting support for graduate nursing degrees (including midwifery)—an overwhelmingly women’s field—doesn’t fix healthcare. It undermines it. “Women’s knowledge isn’t worth investing in.” That’s the real message. msmagazine.com/2025/12/03/t...
They Came for Nurses. What They’re Really Coming for Is Women’s Power—and Your Healthcare
Trump and Republicans' move to downgrade nursing degrees shows women’s expertise is still treated as expendable and unprofessional.

An illustrated line from the Prayer Of St. Brendan The Navigator, who is said to have travelled from County Kerry in Ireland to America a thousand years before Columbus made his journey. Trust in the darkness. 🌌

I think it's really funny that the MAGA Right is having a gay panic while the rest of the country is falling in love with the very gay hockey player TV show.

If you take my HRT away from me I will become suicidal like I was last summer.
Seems pretty clear this is meant to bait Democrats into voting against this. It also includes a ban on "Administering, prescribing, or dis2 pensing to an individual medications" including testosterone and puberty blocking drugs.

I'm sort of charmed by the fact that the entire world is finding out suddenly and all at once that women are filthy perverts. #HeatedRivalry

The small changes that Tierney made to #HeatedRivalry are adding up in a way that's starting to bum me out. I think Ilya is getting a raw deal.

These deals are only good for bankers and executives, who make hundreds of millions.
Audiences, artists, and employees all get screwed.

Interesting tidbit is here is that if WB accepts the hostile bid, WB owes Netflix $2.8 billion for breaking the deal, so the realized cost of the Paramount bid would be about $111 billion

The heated rivalry between the two students finally came to a head, and the swordmaster reluctantly agreed to let them duel, to first blood
It did not end as expected.
"Next time," the swordmaster said at last, "I want you to wipe your swords and sheathe them before you start kissing."

Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”
