Academic friends - I know we get on this merry go round too frequently but, in case you missed it - Texas just made it illegal to be in Texas with documentation that has you as a gender different from that assigned at birth. The biggest and worst impact here is for queer & trans folks in Texas.

I can't stress enough how wrong and disingenuous the most recent wave of COVID revisionism is. The only period when Democratic counties had higher death rates was April-May 2020. From June 2020 onwards, Republican laxity and denialism were the most powerful force driving deaths.

Enjoyed playing with the writing prompt in this morning's autoethnography class, despite my brain (it's trite! needs more glitter! needs more substance!)

Random+ anecdotal, but I wonder how much of the rampant cheating in academia rn is the availability of ChatGPT and how much is our culture already bending to accommodate fascism. I briefly taught school in an authoritarian regime 20 yrs ago +cheating was endemic even w/o AI bc effort didn't matter

Sorry, I know Lee Jae-myung meant this in a complimentary way, but the stray that Bernie caught is too funny to me lmao.

I'm so glad I'm not part of the creator/gig economy, and can delete meta, xitter accounts, take bsky off my phone, etc., without experiencing any negative consequences.

MURRAY: Will you allocate the $220m for literacy programs that Congress appropriated? McMAHON: We're looking at the unallocated dollars to determine which of those programs we can best spend on MURRAY: Those funds were appropriated. It looks to me like the dept is illegally impounding funding

Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

"For the second year in a row, Pride Month celebrants lit up a bridge in downtown Jacksonville with high-powered, hand-held lights after the state continued to block the use of rainbow colors on lighting systems wired into its bridges across Florida."

This argument would work if Trump was suddenly doing something he never promised but mass deportations were the core of his campaign! Even in our desiccated media environment his voters absolutely knew immigrants were going to be ejected en masse.

GoodReads, the only place still keeping the lgbtq+ in their corporate Pride (kidding about the facts, serious about the vibe)

Happy pride to me and to you and to the bisexual bats and the gay giraffes and the lesbian albatrosses, and the trans fish and everybody else. Happy pride.

To be clear, this shields any research coming out of the NIH from independent peer review, which gives him total control to spread propaganda and makes any NIH study completely untrustworthy.

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

Kindle unrolled their genAI Recaps system two months ago and Kindle Direct Publishing still has not updated their Terms of Service to cover this. Still. It has not been updated since September of last year. There is nothing in it specifying how they will use your books within their AI system.
