Guess feeding soldiers is woke DEI bullshit unnecessary for the modern warfighter

I'm a WOC, so I believe a resume should be completely anonymized because sexst racsts have been proven time and again to pick the same resume if it has a male Anglo name and not if it has the name of a WOC.

As someone who grew up adjacent to these things, it was NEVER about saving sex for marriage. It was about providing a selection of “worthy” indentured servants to powerful men. Young women who are easily victimized by powerful men.

During law school, on campus interviews were conducted in hotel rooms. If you wanted a job at one of those firms, you had to go to men's hotel rooms.

1. Yes, she's a real DoorDash driver. 2. She lived in Nevada before moving to Arkansas, apparently." 3. Yes, she testified in support of this policy last year. 4. No, she did not save $11,000 (this is something many of those news outlets have gotten wrong) because of the policy.

I went to bed without check social media, and now Trump is posting himself as Jesus, insulting the Pope, Italy is mad, and the New York Times finally ran an article that maybe Trump was losing it? …okay, honestly the only one that really surprises me is the Times.

Around 20% of hospital beds in the US are in Christianist facilities, most Catholic, that have happily been denying reproductive health care and gender-affirming care for decades AND enjoying a nonprofit status. Most people don't realize the stranglehold the church has until it's too late.

An elder friend of mine said that the problem is that too many of us got too much education after WWII. Around the world. And the powers that be want it to stop.

The worst case scenario here is that Trump effectively cedes the Presidio to tech oligarchs so they can build the first "freedom city", which are essentially factory towns exempt from federal regulations: www.wired.com/story/startu...

This is an extremely accurate explanation of academic bureaucracy. It’s probably also a literal description of academic bureaucracy for a non zero number of instances.

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

Instead of asking if hotdogs are sandwiches, we should be asking if sandwiches are dumplings.

Well they say all's fair in love and war.

I was invited to give a campus-wide keynote at a flagship university for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. I was offered a speaker’s fee of $150 and parking validation. These schools really let us know their values based on where they spend their money.

Anti-trans hatred is the very lifeblood of 21st century fascism and we need everyone to wake up to this simple truth before it's too late.

"No," the swordmaster said. "One does not refuse the king," the herald said. "I do. I will not train his soldiers or officers, I will not tell my students to join his army, I will not support his unjust war." "You will regret this!" "No," the swordmaster said.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Human color vision can be really subjective between different people, and hearing the descriptions of the colors of dark and light grey, brown, and green hues in different parts of the moon topography is great. Seeing something from your own eyes, and then reflecting and verbalizing, gives a—

Where are my PA peeps at? Or anyone wanting to support urban art, kids, and science!

Today, a crew with a woman and a Black man will slip farther from the bonds of Spaceship Earth than anyone has been before. They are powered by the minds, hearts, and labor of a diverse, international team of brilliant nerds showing us that science and math and art and wonder all lift each other.

Yes. It should be said, though, that a primary goal of Republicans is to drive regular people out of college & restore it as a domain just for the wealthy. So getting rid of international students serves racist, nationalist, & oligarchic goals all in one fell swoop.

When I tell physicians that the head of the FDA is on record as wanting to move most drugs to over-the-counter, they simply do not believe me. The media's failure to report shit accurately, their insistence on 'cleaning it up' or straight up sane-washing, is killing people

I’ve said this before but I truly think that reading shit you’re not ready for is how you learn to sit with discomfort. By forbidding the next generation from pushing their boundaries, you’re doing them an immense disservice

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

In light of the conversation about how hard it is to promote your own book: Post a link to buy your book here and I’ll boost it cause you destroyed yourself to get it done, your publisher won’t help you sell it, and you deserve cheers and admiration for your accomplishment.

I try not to ask for help on short notice but mom needs to get something done at the hospital but I can’t afford the transport costs to and from the hospital for her. Please help? ko-fi.com/soniasulaiman

Let high school Honors teachers teach what they know and love rather than strapping advanced high school courses to an outside company that harvests $1 billion a year in testing fees to grade students with AI

The @washingtonpost.com describes the deaths of an estimated 750,000 people to date as "messy"

The holy and the profane. www.waiterrant.net/2005/03/hamb...

based on my experiences as a parent i genuinely believe that if someone is feeling irritable the first thing they should ask themselves is “have i pooped today?”

the nyt will put a team of eleven journalists, three data visualization specialists, and a half dozen oxen on every story about some Ivy league sophomore getting glares in the cafeteria for calling for repeal of the 19th amendment but they can't afford a headline writer who knows what NATO is

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

also, statistically, random folks don't look at my avatar and assume I have a computer science degree (one of many reasons I'm overjoyed to no longer be in STEM lol) and so on days when people decide to "explain" tech to this silly writer girl, the sea isn't deep enough

EXACTLY

It's just a matter of how he loses. Striking down the EO while expanding the exceptions for birthright citizenship and instruction Trump how to write the next executive order *is* a clear loss to the cause. I am more worried about that than the fate of this EO.

THIS woman, who used caged human beings as a PROP FOR A PHOTO OPP is now requesting PRIVACY. Alanis Morissette’s head just exploded.

The only good April Fools joke was when a library posted a headline saying “Study Shows Literacy Problems BC People Reply To Articles They Didn’t Read” When you clicked the link “lol April Fools there is no article. Tell no one” Then people who had not clicked the link argued about literacy all day.

So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

While we wait for the arguments to start, here’s my piece on yesterday’s ruinous decision condemning countless children to abuse and consigning us all to worse health care.

When the bans on *affirming* care reach SCOTUS the Republican justices will flip their positions. Kagan will write a stirring dissent calling her colleagues out on their hypocrisy, BUT IT WILL BE A DISSENT. Republicans are hypocrites and FINE WITH THAT. They're winning, that's all they care about.

And you should definitely read them! There’s a new one coming out! Politics and all!

I feel like it should be a bigger story that half of a Colorado county’s cops were indicted on various criminal matters like corruption.

Even if you COULD make a mirror influencer, it would fail. Just like making Keith Olbermann a left-wing Bill O'Reilly failed. Instead of chasing an audience you'll never capture anyway, focus on not losing the groups you DO (begrudgingly) have by not nominating dickheads like Emmanuel and Newsom

lol, overheard someone say that nowadays everyone wants to be part of a village but doesn't want to be a villager. And I can't stop thinking about it.

how about let's *not* compromise on trans people in sports, and instead compromise on nothing. you can't compromise on liberation. anyone trying to say that we 'need' to is a coward, plain and simple

I think about this too in terms of how legacy media steal the work of other journalists and are shocked, simply shocked, when they get caught. There’s a sense of ‘too big to fail’ entitlement happening.

Passed the woman holding the This Is The End Of The Line sign. ME: Can’t you at least get ICE to hold the sign? HER: Haaaaa funny. That was fifty pounds of bitter in a five pound sack.
