I'm not saying Bob Iger is singlehandedly responsible for the media literacy crisis and the purity culture surrounding it, but he's sure the fuck not helping either.

I keep seeing these ads for a generic-sounding LLC about how healthcare costs are out of control, but something in my brain was twigging. it's a dot org that's just "safe and affordable healthcare", on behalf of overcharged patients. alright.

For the first time, I deeply deeply do not feel safe going to campus. This has always been my safest place where I can be most aligned with myself, and we're having to strip campus and our offices and classrooms of all mention of queerness, diversity, and safety for marginalized students.

My university administration just told all instructors to remove the word "diversity" and all land acknowledgements from our syllabi and any official communications going forward, in compliance with the administration. Fuck. This.

The man accused of throwing a sandwich at a federal agent patrolling Washington this week, after calling him and others “fascists,” has been fired from his job at the Justice Department, Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Thursday.
I both love and hate that all research on DID has basically been done by the same like dozen people. Love, because it makes it easy to read a lot of it since I'm reading the same few authors who are all referencing each other. Hate, because there's no real diversity of perspective.

If someone you know regrets their vote for the orange shitshow now that fascism is here and not just a theoretical possibility, ask them to do something to correct their mistake. Ask them to get involved in resistance efforts. Ask them to do something and not just give lip service to their regret.

nothing has broken me as a queer Dropout fan quite as hard as watching Vic Michaelis jump into Aabria Iyengar's arms. Jesus Christ my little sapphic heart exploded 💕

If we emerge with a non-fascist society, each and every university administrator who Chamberlained or Vichied to any degree must be ruthlessly expelled from any position of responsibility or influence. Let their name be stricken from every tablet. They shouldn’t run a hot-dog stand.
Here's the letter that NSF sent UCLA last week about cutting its research funding
NSF says UCLA is doing affirmative action by asking applicants' their zip codes, family income and what HS they went to, and that they can discuss race in personal statements

I love talking to friends who say "I've never dissociated, what does it feel like?" and I explain the aspects of dissociation and they go "oh shit maybe I actually have dissociated, like a lot." Tells me we aren't explaining symptoms in actual plain language, which makes it even harder to identify.

I'm just gonna say it: TikTok is doing to the left what Facebook did to the right, which is to say that social media all feeds on fear and paranoia and clustering people into easily identifiable and hateable out-groups. I say, on the social media.

If we're gonna bring back the Presidential Fitness test, I think the President should be the first person to step up and show us how fit he is. Let him set the benchmark by which we measure all elementary school children.

Does anyone else have that one friend who says "guys, I have a crazy idea, hear me out--" and then says the most mundane mainstream shit you've ever heard? ex. "I just had the wildest idea y'all, what if we put like some kind of strawberry or, crazy thought, grape! on like a peanut butter sandwich?"

When are we gonna stop using the phrase "DID, formerly known as MPD"? It hasn't been MPD for THIRTY YEARS. If people still think it's MPD, they're wildly misinformed. Continuing to reference the old name is just keeping it in the public consciousness.

Somebody should invite Trump on a morning segment for a little game show fun. Let's get him to label all 50 states on a map. Get him to pass a naturalization test on camera. Show America how much he really loves it, y'know?

Just because somebody is quiet or doesn't respond immediately doesn't mean they're ignoring you. I think society puts way too much intentionality on people; most people are behaving in self-directed or unconscious ways like 90% of the time. It's so much easier to assume the best/least harmful path.
