Of course they won’t denounce it - it’s who they are

So they can continue their human trafficking? Is this really who we are?

Happy international women’s day, friends!

We need more of this sort of activism!

Here’s the next level of depravity - canceling transition programs for disabled high schoolers.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

With the NIH cuts, there’s no longer any excuse for any professor, in any discipline, to not address the moment in their classes. You don’t even have to be “political” if that’s how you roll; this changes everything. You need only observe reality. 1/

I have used data from the Household Pulse Survey (fielded by the US Census) over the past few years to study the differences in trans and cis outcomes. In July 2021, they added gender id questions that made those comparisons possible. Those data sets are gone. www.census.gov/programs-sur...

As the article notes, some of these young men are also associated with Peter Thiel…you know, the guy who bankrolled Vance and thinks democracy is a bad idea

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

How is this bumbling brain dead buffoon the president?

Sitting at the emergency vet on a Sunday - good times. Hoping this is not a recurrence of bladder stones

Good reminder - maybe it’s time to get back to practicing yoga to soothe the constant tension.

It’s Girl Scout cookie time, and @erininthemorning.com has made it easy to find a trans Scout to support. If you want to avoid the shipping costs, you can choose to donate them on the order page…and then you can also support a local Scout for your cookie fix!

I made the switch to StoryGraph a few months ago. It was very easy to import my Goodreads data and I love it so far.

lol - love this!

Agreed - she is one of the worst

My (adoptive) dad had FTD. As the only sibling who lived in the same state, care decisions fell mostly on my brother. This is a great article with a lot of hope for future treatments.

Went to Goosemas last weekend and now all I want to do is travel to shows. Can I get a PhD in Gooseology instead of Sociology?

This is absolutely going into my slides for a class presentation I gave today.

Daleks : Dr. Who :: Plankton : Spongebob

Another example of cruelty being the purpose…expanding Medicaid would benefit the state and its citizens, but conservatives are instead worried about poor people getting something they “didn’t work for”

This is so disappointing. Policies like this add stress to a group that is already stigmatized. We (humans) need to do better and stop caving to transphobia and hate.

Super cool to find so many sociologists in one place!

Or not, and then we feast!

This is an echo of the general election. The trans Democrat is blamed for "sparking" the crisis despite the fact she did nothing beyond be herself. Before she arrived to DC, or made any demands, the GOP preemptively turned her identity into a political issue. So, who is doing identity politics?

the way that Nancy Mace is sexually harassing her trans colleague as well as everyone else she works with by making them listen to her perverted unsolicited thoughts about genitals all day long...... what other workplace on earth would allow that

“Bluesky is an echo chamber!” Our Reply: Echo chamber? Nah, we prefer to call it surround sound for facts.

Clementine is worn out after a long day of following us around as we moved all the furniture from the family room to the living room.

I did have second hand embarrassment for whoever parked theirs in one of the parking garages on campus last week

Back in March, Ipsos released its annual Women's Day poll, which showed that roughly half of American men--and even larger percentages of Gen-Z and Millennial men--are skeptical of women's rights and blame efforts toward gender equality for the struggles of men. 🧵1/ www.ipsos.com/en-us/millen...

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.

This week has been brutal as a sociology student who chose the pain of grad school late-ish in life and planned to research health inequalities for transgender populations.
