For the past couple of months, I've been applying under my deadname because I've been terrified of the climate and honestly, I need a steady paycheck. It hasn't done anything except make me shrink myself, apply less, and make me sick. I've gone back to my name and am updating my resumes.

This decision by UT’s administration is not driven by any educational reasons; after all, the departments facing elimination are full of field-defining, award-winning faculty. UT administrators are falling in lockstep with a nationwide political attack on the freedom to learn by censoring 2/

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 19h

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Government workers 👇🏾

Lunch is on the house:

Being in the heart of downtown DC, we love that so many of our Federal employees stop by during lunch for a Donburi at China Chilcano or a Fútbol Club at Jaleo. And just because the government is shut down doesn't mean you have to miss out on your favorite lunch spot- because this time, its on us!
Join us for lunch from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at any of our participating restaurants and enjoy a free lunch item when you present your government ID-you heard that right! Dine in with us Monday through Friday and choose your favorite: a sandwich at Jaleo, a donburi at China Chilcano, a wrap or pita at Zaytinya, or a torta at Oyamel.
We've always believed in serving our community with open arms and good food-no shutdown can stop that.

Hii! I have a balance with temporary shelter that needs to be resolved today in order for us to continue having shelter in place. We’re in need of about $782 and need this taken care of right now to refocus on overdue and time sensitive unmet needs.

One of my unhinged opinions now…

Hated classics should be taught . We need to lean in to finding out why people hate them !

Because it tells us what part of the world has changed

🇲🇽🐸rustbelt rebel🐸🇲🇽 @rustbeltrebel.bsky.social · 11h

A lot of those classics that everybody hates (like: catcher in the rye or all the Ernest Hemingway stuff) are actually very good and have earned their places in literary cannon.

We’re in the middle of a mass disabling event.

Covid isn’t over and Long Covid has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic illness in kids.

Hundreds of kids are in quarantine in South Carolina due to a measles outbreak. Measles disables more than it kills.

Ireland has a population of 5m and we've a waiting list approaching 15 years. Why? Because their mandatory, archaic and traumatic psychiatric and psychological assessments are a deliberate bottleneck to ensure as few people as possible can access healthcare a nurse can do!

The ‘Transit’ gender clinic in Spain has a 3 WEEK waiting list! 😳😳😳

It covers a population of 8 million, (equivalent to the population of Scotland & Wales combined, or 1/7th of the population of England) It has a total of 43 staff, a majority of whom are part-time, working 6-7 hours per week!

Trans health waiting lists are a political choice

I’m just back from an awesome trans healthcare conference in Norway (blog on that to follow). Here I wanted to share information from a presentation by the founder of the transit trans health…

1700 of the Palestinians being released have been held without charge, including women and children, as bargaining chips. That's the definition of a hostage, but they're still called

The difference in language is intentional, to erase Palestinian victimization.

Some people don't understand every moment that Ice is being distracted by inflatables with people in, or other protestors.

They are not splitting children from their parents or parents from children.
Or just shooting people and lying about it.

Some people think the praise is for the first part
