TALK HARD.

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...

The price of the Second Amendment. #TooExpensive #RepealThe2nd #FuckTheNRA

IT DOESN’T IT DOESN’T DO THAT AT ALL IT REFRAMES PREVENTABLE DEATHS AS INEVITABLE AND VICTIMS AS WILLING MARTYRS WHO ARE ACTUALLY BETTER OFF DEAD NOW IT IS A DIABOLICAL THING TO SAY IF YOU ARE IN A POSITION TO STOP THIS SHIT AND REFUSING TO DO IT

It's been 0 days since the last mass shooting at a school in the US. (A Catholic school, during Mass) #RepealThe2nd #FuckTheNRA #BooksNotBullets www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

RIP Terrence Stamp. Today we all kneel before Zod

She's going to turn up dead soon, like Epstein did.

"The censorship of the issue, the editor added, is “exactly how authoritarianism grows”." A journal issue about education & Palestine was cancelled. Meanwhile, schools of all educational levels in Gaza have been bombed. Hospitals & refugee camps? Bombed. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Learning these two truths of academia are a large part of why I stopped applying to higher ed positions altogether. I got an excellent education. I'm very proud of some of my adjunct work. That system was never gonna love me back.

She pulled my hand up, licked each finger, then turned to look out the patio door. She sat like this for about half an hour.

I repeat: what kind of educator, and what kind of unionist cannot see how "AI" will be used to automate and dehumanize education at all levels? It is a THREAT to labor, it is environmentally disastrous and built on the theft of the labor of artists and authors. For shame.

It is very weird to me that a national professional organization advances this hostage argument. You don't shape how a technology is being used by outsourcing teacher training to the monopolizing companies that promote this technology.

Over 40 other library branches are closed for “work stoppage” while AFSCME District Council 33 strikes, according to the Free Library of Philadelphia website. Union workers in Philadelphia have blocked scabs from entering, which led Mayor Parker's administration to file an injunction last week.

I wore this shirt to the hardware store & some guy told me that he liked my shirt.

I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.

In trying times, remember that there are small ways to make a difference.

Happy Fourth!?

#AcRel Who's got plans for growing Religious Studies enrollments & preserving or even growing undergrad programs? I'd love to chat strategies & plans.

Vote for Kira! www.sonomamag.com/rescuepet/co...

I took one for the team to investigate Peter Pan smut. I supposed I have to investigate Encino Man Gladiator smut, right? Or should I just start writing this stuff and see if that'll make me money?

You can win an award from your university for arguing that people of color don’t deserve rights and then go on a rant about how the Jews should be destroyed but if you say Palestinians are people you can have your university destroyed for supposedly being anti Jewish

It’s an uphill struggle getting people to accept that Christians can be bad people. But the even harder truth that people urgently need to grasp in this time of Christofascism is that for some understandings of Christianity, to be a GOOD Christian is to be a BAD person. Denial makes things worse

@faccc.bsky.social Great Teachers Seminar = BEST NERD CAMP EVER!!

this is good

When the Executive Branch mobilizes the National Guard against US civilians? That's some fucking Nazi shit. Where my 2A homies at? THIS IS YOUR TIME TO FIGHT THE GOVERNMENT & PROTECT AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES, YOU FLACCID DOUCHEBAGS.

For no reason whatsoever *cough* US National Guard mobilized against the US civilian population *cough*

But WOMEN are too emotional to be president, right?

The first girl I had a crush on was Drew Barrymore. Happy Pride!

This is how you deal with protesters. Don't engage, just drown them out with louder music & a dance party! Happy Pride, buddy. I'm sure Jesus loves you anyway.

Do not give this woman a dime of your money. 1. Do not watch the new show. 2. Do not stream any of the movies (yes, that includes Fantastic Beasts) 3. Do not buy any of her books. She has a pen name Robert Galbraith. www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowl...

This is unconscionable and utterly ridiculous. They want to limit people's ability to protect themselves and their community. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

But he's right, tho. Why am I giving money to this party? It is asleep at the wheel, and they have been for decades. Bad look, Democrats.

Also, one of the main reasons we vaccinate is to protect the most vulnerable among us. The elderly, disabled, and young children who can't be vaccinated. It's literally a tool to protect the exact people RFK Jr is saying are expendable. This is clear cut eugenics and he needs to be stopped.

Thread.

IT ME! Pandemic, Perimenopause, rising fascism for 10+ years, and ADHD will do it.

As a person who has to live in the world today, I can't actually bring myself to hope for this outcome. As a historian of religion, well...

May the Fourth Be with You.

Friday at the E2 House.
