I mean this, academics. If you don't feel capable of embedding a trans perspective into your class for time or expertise reasons, ask me and I will come talk to them for you.

I will even try to relate it to paleogeology (or history, English, drama...), god help me.
sandraduffy.bsky.social Dr. Sandra Duffy Golden @sandraduffy.bsky.social · 8h
I will come and do a guest lecture online for anyone, anytime, about this, for free. For any class.

I will tell your electromotor physics class about trans rights.

I will tell your paleogeology class about trans rights.

Just ask me. I will do this.

Jay Bhattacharya and Matthew Memoli aren't bringing "gold standard science" to the #NIH, they are gutting research slowly but surely. When this time is over, they should be hauled before Congress, and shunned for the rest of their lives. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Let Walz cook
Walz said to Kristen Welker: "Here we got a guy on Thanksgiving, where we spent time with our families, we ate, we played Yahtzee, we cheered for football or whatever. This guy is apparently in a room, ranting about everything else. This is not normal behavior. It is not healthy. And presidents throughout time have released a couple things. They've released their tax returns—not Donald Trump—and they've released their medical records-not Donald Trump. And look, the MRI is one thing, but I think what's most concerning about this is, as your viewers out there are listening, has anyone in the history of the world ever had an MRI assigned to them and have no idea what it was for, as he says? So look, it's clear the President's fading physically. I think the mental capacity, again, ranting, you know, crazily at midnight on Thanksgiving about everything else. There's reasons for us to be concerned. This is a guy that randomly says the airspace over Venezuela's closed. He's ruminating on if you could win a nuclear war. Look, this is a serious position. It's the most powerful position in the world, and we have someone at midnight throwing around slurs that demonize our children, at the same time he's not solving any of the problems. So l'm deeply concerned that he is incapable of doina the iob."

It's a tax "raid". When you or I pay our income tax it's just a tax. But when a fabulously wealthy millionaire who refuses to contribute to the country whose public services they use (and yes, they use roads, defence, police etc) it's a "raid".

This one's called "All Glory to Our Aquatic Comrades" and it's dedicated to those orcas who go around sinking big dirty boats and teaching their calves to do the same.

What if:

Immigration is actually really beneficial to a country and helps secure its future prosperity and long term health of its culture and isn’t a really bad thing like all those rich sociopaths who moved to Dubai say it is?
colinelves.bsky.social Colin Elves @colinelves.bsky.social · 1d
Guys, guys, guys:

what if we provide asylum to lots of refugees so that when the conflict in their homeland ends and economic reconstruction begins we have lots of social links to that country that allow us to forge mutually beneficial economic partnerships with it?

"don't have children if you can't afford them" lol it's not like getting a horse. Children are supposed to be affordable. Besides, when rich people have kids the kids become influencers or start t shirt brands and I can't think of anything worse for growth than having more of these ppl

Asked for comment by Sky News, the IDF responded: "Earlier today, IDF troops identified two suspects who crossed the yellow line, conducted suspicious activities on the ground, and approached IDF troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip, posing an immediate threat to them. "Following the identification, the IAF eliminated the suspects in order to remove the threat."

Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) says Pete Hegseth should "resign immediately" if it's true he gave a directive to “kill everybody” in a strike on boats in the Caribbean, including a second strike to kill survivors of the first strike.

“If the reports are true, Pete Hegseth likely committed a war crime."

Wrote this before threads on here about how “students today don’t read anything” blew up, and I stand by it.
It’s not only that every generation makes same complaint (I cant possibly know what other people’s students eg in US are like).

It’s more: what have we tried to do to help students read?

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything
Elizabeth Taylor in an 80s press conference speaking on the stigma of AIDS “…And it so angered me that I finally thought to myself, Bitch, do something yourself.” from the documentary “Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes.”
