Saw the "OMG why are 40 & 50 year old people even ON social media?" post & my first thought was, "What do you think *should* happen, kid? Should we all just do a Logan's Run?" & then I realized this child has never once in their life heard of Logan's Run & I turned to dust & my ghost is typing this.
The carceral system is a major 'provider' of substance use disorder treatment except for how it actually doesn't provide treatment as seen here in Missouri.
This is exactly why I try to cultivate a strong impression with my students that I detect plagiarism primarily via witchcraft
on DS9 any person on the Promenade can just turn a corner into the open-doored doctor's office and talk to a doctor immediately and this is how set design can communicate utopian ideals

Still hoping to get to $750 for queer & trans kids in Wisconsin tonight—I’m 2/3 of the way there! Every little bit helps!
Hey, y’all, want to support queer & trans youth in Wisconsin schools? From now to 6pm CST, a matching donor is TRIPLING all contributions to GSAFE, an org I can strongly endorse since I’ve been working with them for almost 20 years: tinyurl.com/tbscabell26

I know everything is on fire, but I’ve been fundraising for GSAFE, which provides all kinds of resources & support to queer & trans kids across Wisconsin, for 19 years, & I’m sure not stopping NOW. Want to kick in?

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
Oh look.
Residency applications took a dive across multiple specialties (OB/GYN, family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine) in states that banned abortion after Dobbs.
They made us all less healthy and less safe.

His mother was a feminist theologian & he frequently cited his Christianity as informing his politics. When I talk to students in my various queer studies courses about ppl taking V DIFFERENT social positions rooted in what they identify as “the same” religious faith, this is what I’m talking about
Went to parent-teacher conference for L (7) today & her Spanish teacher commented on how she’s participating a lot more & can often figure out cognates that the other kids can’t bc her English vocab is so advanced, e.g. “tranquilo”
A (14): “Who wouldn’t know TRANQUIL? It’s ALL OVER Warrior Cats!”
This is so much more common than many people like to admit. Every time that police or policing supporters say "well I hope you don't ever need to call them," they are illustrating 2 things (1) they believe protection should be conditional on fealty and (2) we can't trust this system to protect us.
I realize I follow you so I’m not the one to ask, but man, if ever a post had “I CAN MAKE THEM/YOU/US WORSE” energy…
*pounds the table* POR-TENT! POR-TENT!
Damn, I was just drawing this analogy for one of my classes today re: my feelings about the AV podiums in our lecture halls (sometimes the USB-C connector works & sometimes it doesn’t, for NO discernible reason), but I definitely need to add it to my anti-LLM spiel!
I grew up in Rush Limbaugh’s hometown & I REALLY HATE the constant “his one good quality is having been sober since he died bc he’s DEAD now, get it, haha” “jokes”
His one good quality is that he’s dead now! He was a total shithead sober, too, & death is not actually preferable to substance abuse!
I looked that one up to find the exact wording, and what I didn’t remember was that it was literally in like the first five pages of the book! Lloyd Alexander went HARD.
I quote The Book of Three every semester!
“‘If you grow up with any kind of sense—which you sometimes make me doubt—you will very likely reach your own conclusions.’
‘They will probably be wrong,’ he added. ‘However, since they will be yours, you will feel a little more satisfied with them.’”
…which are of course distinct from the Hello Kitty CHAMPAGNE glasses 😳😹😼
bluesky: the headline
When I think about those studies now, other than the very small industrial club of one that is the MRI itself, I mostly wonder how many “neurotypical” psych study participants are, like I was at the time, simply undiagnosed
I really don’t remember much, something about recall? One time the grad student running the machine showed me a neat trick where they could stimulate some particular points that made you a) sneeze & b) become incapable of speech, but those were unrelated party tricks 😂
I used to do them for $20 an hour for psych studies when I was a grad student and have thought this ever since!
Unloading the dishwasher and suddenly realizing that in order to describe my full collection of barware, it is necessary to use the phrase “the GOOD Hello Kitty wine glasses”
Some people call me the space cowboy (the young children I lied to because they don’t know what real jobs are)
Some call me the gangster of love (women mocking the appellation I put in my dating profile)
Some people call me Maurice (my mom)
Happy birthday, and also, same. 🤦🏻♀️ 🎂
This is the point I always make, that Democrats seem to refuse to understand: A candidate who tacks right on an issue of high voting importance to me is declaring they do not want my vote and they believe they'll win more votes to make up for losing mine.
Denmark becomes first country in the European Union to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis. This is testament to universal health access and a functioning public health system.
The US recorded 4000 cases of congenital syphilis in 2024.
