I've made it to so few Advent services in the past few years. Looking forward to church this morning.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Among the provisions are ones agreeing to the Trump administration's definition of sex as "biological sex" and agreeing "not perform hormonal interventions and transgender surgeries ... on any individual under the age of 18 years old, effective immediately."

The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

Gendertrash from Hell is so GOOD. Found it in the wild at Three Lives & Company today and read issue 1 immediately. Vital writing is vital. Congrats/thank you to @littlepuss.net

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like: Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

a thought that I do keep having is "they are not nearly afraid enough of us"

Read what critics are saying about Kelly Foster Lundquist's debut #memoir, BEARD! 👏 “At once brave and tender, this is a candid look at the burdens of love and the challenges of discovering oneself.” —Publishers Weekly, ⭐ STARRED REVIEW #LavenderMarriage

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

if one were to want to say abolish a senate, how would one go about doing such a thing

I am so excited to be in conversation with @kfoslundquist.bsky.social about her splendid new book, 'Beard: A Memoir of a Marriage on Saturday,' on 11/15 at 4 pm. We'll be talking at everyone's favorite @possible-futures.bsky.social. Please join us! #beardamemoir #memoir #bookishnews
