Ooooh, gotta add this example. I usually show my students the Cartographers for Social Equality clip from The West Wing, which as a bonus explicitly addresses the relative size of Greenland… youtu.be/AMfXVWFBrVo?...

Hey just a reminder to faculty that it's always good to keep a spare tool set in the office, you never know what kind of small repairs you need to do on your own and a little tool set like this one from Home Depot can really be helpful!

Just had an excellent interview with @advocate.com, and I really think this one is worth your time to read.

Okay, my kids are in bed so I can finally watch this ridiculous copaganda procedural I recently got into (High Potential, basically just “Adult ADHD Diagnosis Lady Solves Crime” and they could SO EASILY have just made her a PI or something but NO)

Help, does anyone know of any recent research on Americans’ close friendships by gender & sexual orientation? I’m assuming that queer men have more friends than straight men do but I haven’t thus far been able to find a source to support this hypothesis

Did you know that (according to the 1431 trial record) Joan of Arc was not initially sentence to death as long as she did not relapse (return to wearing men's clothing)? It was only when she did that she was deemed a heretic and burned. Patron saint of "Death Before Detransition" 1/11

Want to support queer & trans kids in Wisconsin schools? I’m fundraising for GSAFE, which provides resources to students, school staff, & others—for example, last week I attended a webinar they cohosted on recent executive orders. Any donation helps! www.thebigshare.org/p2p/403983/c...

Today is the Day of Remembrance, the 83rd anniversary of the forced removal of 120,000 people of Japanese descent to American concentration camps. American soldiers physically tortured and murdered Japanese Americans in these camps. Their money, homes, businesses, and wealth were stolen.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

#Wisconsin voters - today is the primary for upcoming Spring (4/1) Elections. Statewide primary for Superintendent, and maybe some local races. I voted "by mail" (dropbox) last week, supporting the incumbent, Jill Underly. Please #Vote today - and plan to vote for Judge Crawford in April! #SCOWIS

Jonathan Harker: I can’t help but notice that we’re surrounded by wolves. Carriage Driver: I’ll go talk to the head wolf, who definitely isn’t Dracula. Jonathan Harker: The one standing on his hind legs with the mustache and the visible erection? Carriage Driver: Aye, that’s the one.

If you truly believe women achieved labour equity, name me one who can bring their overly rambunctious 4 year old to mutter profanity at their boss & scramble about the room during the most important client presentation of their career.

It’s weird how we’ve memory holed the fact that Obama entered his first term with a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and a majority in the House and McConnell’s response was “We’re going to make Obama a one-term president,” not “there’s little we can do”

Note this is unfortunately routine practice already--its called the foster care system. We remove more children from their families than any country on earth and 90% of them are victims of poverty, not abuse or violence. What Kennedy is calling for is the expansion of a system that already exists.

It’s really fucking egregious what people will put in there. A wall of text and they’re like “it’s a screenshot of Twitter, dawg” Like thanks for removing all doubt that you’re a fucking INTENTIONAL asshole, I guess

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.

Interesting inadvertent CDC admissions: -Flu was "high severity" for all ages in 1st Trump term -Covid deaths (remained) higher than flu until 2 weeks ago *In Jan. 2023 CDC revised Covid death classification, lowering counts 10-20%. Studies found further undercounting: www.bu.edu/sph/news/art...

Just a reminder that while the standard schedule in the US for MMR is to give two doses at 1 & 4 years respectively, doses as early as 6mos are recommended in cases involving international travel or community outbreaks. Under the circumstances, you might want to just say it’s the former.
