Some problems have simple solutions. This new “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” is one. The answer is simply saying no.
Simple does not mean easy. But Brown, Dartmouth, MIT, Vanderbilt, Univ of AZ, UPenn, USC, UT Austin & UVA must understand what they’ll lose if they sign on.
Thank you Michael Fanone. For those who do not recognize the name, Michael is one of the officers who defended America on January 6th and was left permanently injured as a result. He is a true hero of our Democracy.
Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.
"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense
Thanks so much for the kind words! But no, I have no plans to make any more book trailers. I’m so proud of what we created, but the amount of labor that went into them took a serious toll on my physical and mental health. Also I no longer live in LA, so I can’t lean on my film school friend network.
The maddest someone has ever gotten at me was when I talked about the child sized manacles Jefferson had at Monticello for 9 year old children. They could not cope with the idea that a child the same age as their child had been enslaved. And it made them angry that I made them know facts
Moves by the Trump administration to pare back Medicaid, rescind medical debt rules and loosen vaccine requirements threaten to increase medical bills for millions of Americans.
I just hope that eventually, somebody gets prosecuted for this shit.
This is some insane Soviet bullshit. The idea that any American news organization would agree to something like this is unconscionable. I don't know how any self-respecting journalist could work for an outlet that's doing this.
Painting for @brotherwisegames.bsky.social is amazing!
A reminder that last year immigrants killed 29 people and white US Citizen men killed 8842 people.
Meaning, the harm caused by some immigrants in a full year (29), white US citizen men killed almost daily (24 people), every single day of the year.
#WhereWereTheyRadicalized?
Did he actually try, y'know, expressing these desires through standard diplomatic channels, or is he just tweeting into the abyss?
I got that shot a little later from a different vantage point!
Series of three near-identical photos of a sullen red sun and one of the mitten buttes from Monument Valley with a hazy, rust colored sky. The only difference between the images is the placement of the sun in the sky relative to the butte. In all three images, the sun is in the gap between the "thumb" and "fingers." In the first, it's just above the intersection. In the second, it's perfectly poised in the center of the gap. In the third, it fits comfortably into a small divot in the tip of the thumb.
Which is your favorite of these three images I captured of the sun rising over Monument Valley in a haze of wildfire smoke?
I hope many are noticing the similarities with the early period of Aryanization in Germany, when Jewish businesses and property began to be confiscated.
Reagan-era judge *finally* calls out the wildly obvious racism in the DOGE cuts to the NIH
A white pick up with a sign reading "Quilting Allies" and the slogan "Trans rights or I bites." In the bed of the pick up is a person in an inflatable T-Rex costume with a sign reading "Protect trans kids or I'll eat you!"
Sioux Falls Pride happened today and there are some thing to love about my hometown.
I love… Mel and Vik, they should have been friends.

I think it's important to continuously reiterate that federal science funding grants in the US (and elsewhere) are made because the government, with the input of panels of independent experts, have concluded that the work being done is IN THE INTEREST OF THE NATION.
Ron DeSantis stranded drivers at a bridge with no warning just to stop rainbow colors from appearing on it.
Remembering Dr. Alan Hart for Pride, trans man from the early 1900s. He revolutionized the detection of tuberculosis, saved thousands of lives, and died using his name, as the man he always was meant to be.
We have always been here.
Bluesky's character count literally isn't long enough for how astonishing and out-of-pocket this woman was, lol. Like, there wasn't even room to add the bit about her being a master fencer who would humble your ass in duels for misgendering her

European Jews on Ellis Island protest against their deportation to Germany, 1936
Remembering trans man Albert Cashier for Pride, Union soldier during the civil war, was captured, marched a thousand miles without them figuring out his assigned sex at birth, escaped, and went right back to fighting them.
Lived the rest of his life as a man.
We have always been here.
This is way more fanon than canon, but y’all absolutely need to watch Arcane.
Headcanon: Jayce uses Spanish terms of endearment. Viktor uses endearing Czech nonsense.
Jayce: My heart, my beloved, my sun and moon and sky
Viktor: My handsome line of baby ducks, my soothing video of objects slotting perfectly into other objects, my large boulder the size of a small boulder
Car tire on display with the sign “This Big O Tires also specializes in fluid exchanges.”
I’m saying nothing.
Every time you buy a Harry Potter product, you are financing the dismantling of trans rights
