This is what trans folks mean when we say "let us tell our stories". Will Ferrell used his clout and brand to get this made which obviously is being focused on him but the actual doc is very much Harper's story and most often in her own words. If folks won't give us a seat, pull out a chair.

the Chinese abacus, once you're trained on it, is extremely fast for addition, subtraction, and multiplication, but slow on division and roots.

In the 1970s, you see transitional portable electronic calculators with an abacus for shopkeepers so they can keep abacusing.

the thing that really bugs me about the persistent chud freakouts over how schools conduct business is, they suck at raising kids. absolute dogshit parents. the worst monsters at my kids' schools, there's always a Liberty University sticker or that flattened white hood flag in front of their house.

I think this is a great idea because once it fills up with the type of people into this you can [redacted] the doors shut and set [redacted] to the place
A St. Louis-area restaurant requires that all women customers be at least 30 years old, and all men 35, going for what its owners describe as a "grown and sexy" vibe. The policy has raised legal questions because it treats men and women differently.
No Tables for Anyone Under 30 at This St. Louis-Area Restaurant
Customers generally support Bliss Caribbean Restaurant’s ban on male customers under 35 and women under 30. But some legal experts say there may be a problem.

I'm sorry but it's just not true that hospitals aren't reporting COVID deaths. They're using the same methods they always have — and excess deaths are near 0 so it's unlikely they're being misclassified.

I think fewer people really are dying of COVID!
