Letter below is by surgical oncologist and professor Dr. Michael Baum about how a character explaining chaos theory in a Tom Stoppard play sparked an expansion in his understanding of breast cancer, leading to exploration of adjuvant therapy that protects distant organs. This is what art can do.

When people say, “do your own research,” they generally mean, “google it.” They generally do NOT mean, “conduct an independent, ethical, peer reviewed study.” I would love if we spent more time differentiating between “research as knowledge production” and “research as knowledge consumption.”

Baffled as to why so many digital academic publications don't have page numbers. I want to cite the things you publish! Let me!

Excited for this new aspect of GQEM!

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

Had so much fun reviewing Arden of Faversham for the wonderful folks at @shaxbull.bsky.social Check it out if you are interested in original practices, or want to hear about some farcical stage violence!

The final vote: 51-45, with 4 people absent. CLOTURE FAILS, A CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN. Democrats hold firm, not a single dem voted for cloture. MAJOR victory for everyone who called in today and this week in support of trans people.

When people talk about the need for a positive masculinity I think they’re missing that “masculinity” has no real content other than domination. What’s changed is that *human*virtues—integrity, honesty, leadership—were for a long time seen as men’s exclusive domain.

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time. S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped *monday.* short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️🧵 legiscan.com/US/bill/SB9/...

Hello! I’m a master's student and ready to record life histories for my thesis. If you are Asexual, within the Leather/BDSM community, and 55 or older, I would love to speak with you! Feel free to DM me with any questions, and share this within your circles across platforms. Thank you!

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...
