If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
Do you hear the people sing?
RED ONE HAS BEEN TAKEN π
π― THIS. FUCKING THIS.
I don't think free speech on campus ought to mean that a young coddled bigot gets to use their ignorance to casually destroy the career of a knowledgeable trans person on a random Wednesday
I arrived at 2:25 or 2:30 for an appointment at 2:40. It's 3:25 and I still haven't seen the doctor. Can I bill her at my hourly rate?
Β‘Pupdate!
Remembering Rob Reiner, legendary director-actor and steadfast advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, whose voice helped foster greater understanding and acceptance. Rest in peace. #NOH8
Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you knowβs favorite movie. If youβre a Californian, heβs also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.
Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.
Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.
Part of the Chanukah tradition is to place the light menorah either outside or in a window where outsiders can see it. This is supposed to advertise the miracle of Chanukah. These days, it is also a way of saying, βThis is a Jewish home.β
Every year I think about how it is also an act of bravery.
This.
Kira knows the words "enrichment box."
Letβs be very clear-eyed about this: Today is December 10th. The Epstein Files are due to be released on December 19thβso the war with Venezuela will start sometime between then and right now.
"This means that public library patrons have no First Amendment rights to access information. This means we now live in a censorship state.β"
As lead plaintiff Leila Green Little put it via email: βThey will not hear our case. No explanation is given. This means that the en banc ruling of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals will remain in effect for Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi."
"the Supreme Court denied the writ of certiorari in the case, meaning that they will not hear arguments in the case and the lower courtβs ruling will stand."
We are literally losing our rights to free access of information in the United States. This is what the Trump-packed, Republican majority confirmed SCOTUS did to the US. We are losing our civil rights and the nation is moving ever more towards fascism.
THIS IS THE NAZI PLAYBOOK:
JFC Oklahoma you fuckin cowards. Now every Jesus-freak right-wing student who can't get a passing grade for a bunch of bible quotes masquerading as an essay is going to file a 1st amendment complaint. You gonna suspend the whole Biology department for teaching about evolution? (Don't answer that)
This is a very very important point.
6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

A screenshot of a Wikipedia article for Halford E. Luccock. The highlighted text quotes his 1938 sermon warning that when fascism comes to America, it wonβt be called fascism but will be called βAmericanism.β
And notice: 11 starsβthe number of states in the Confederacy. βAmericanismβ is the new fascism, as predicted.
CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.
Nothing has ever trickled down.
Really? COME ON.
Today I am thankful, especially, for this student, who really made me feel proud of myself in the midst of a semester that's been full of personal challenges and cultural turmoil.
