No one belongs in that box; no one is a woman in the sense that these types of patriarchy enthusiasts mean woman.

Some people who get thrown in that box are women in another sense; some people who get thrown in that box aren’t women at all.

No one belongs there.

Unfortunately that explains a lot.

Somebody put my deadname email on a bank account which is definitely real, and despite multiple attempts at emailing their personal banking agent back going "I am not your client," they still haven't changed it after years plural.

My uncle apparently did this with his East Asia Studies PhD with a fifteen to twenty year break in the middle, so it happens!

I think I read about both of those on your tumblr blog ages ago and I've found them both really helpful for teaching!

Target sometimes carries cimetidine/tagamet. I can't take pepcid acid, so had the same problem. You can check if it's in stock near you on their site.

I keep telling my advisor we need to find an alumni who wants the history building's sewage system named after them. Maybe put up some little names plaques like they make for park benches on the circuit breaker cabinets and toilet stalls.

Yeah, different period but I sometimes see high estimates of manumission in Islamic history (not usually numbers, just "common"), and it seems to come from studying manumitted individuals who show up in records, often those who became politically powerful. By definition a hugely unusual situation.

Hi, please add me! Doctoral candidate working on the early Ottoman Empire/late medieval Islamic world.

Thank you so much! I've been telling myself I'll make an appointment somewhere for like a year now, but unknown doctors are so exhausting that I keep failing at really doing it.

Sorry to barge in, but I'm looking for an EDS doc in roughly the same general area (I live in the DMV on the Maryland side). Do you have any recommendations? (I moved in 2020 and was getting along with student health renewing my established prescriptions but, unfortunately, I need changes now.)

I was allowed to pet one as a child at a zoo program, which in retrospect is raising a lot of questions for me as a memory.
