I’ve spent 20 years in education and social services. At the same time, I wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until age 35. Now I’m taking everything I’ve learned and starting Galivants Ferry Education.
Now, I help organizations ensure their ND staff can thrive.

While I get what people mean when they say “but it is not covert!” the fact that a lecturer could get removed from teaching a course for making the claim shows that MAGA is able to promote white supremacy while clutching its pearls when called out for it so maybe covert is a productive term here
Indiana University removed a Lecturer from her "Diversity, Human Rights, and Social Justice" course after a student filed a complaint about a graphic the instructor showed in class, which included "Make America Great Again" as an example of "Covert White Supremacy."

Which I've been 100% convinced from day one is behind Australia's Labor Government's decision to block social media for anyone under 16.
removing a trans person's connection to the internet is an act of deliberate social isolation with intent to 'convert' and everyone knows it

This pisses me off for a LOT of reasons, but also because they're not even mutually exclusive skills. I OWE much of my social emotional growth (such as it is) to mathematician and mathematician-adjacent friends + as an educator, I believe social and emotional skills are BENEFICIAL to maths learning.
I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

All Cats are Grey is easily the best Cure song, it's not even close.
Which is just as well because for some reason it's been playing loudly on permanent loop in the next room for like an hour and I'm too busy doing my work (and, er, bleeting on Bluesky) to get up and change it.

Well shit, they're renovating my office building (meaning I'm stuck in Menzies until the end of January) but after I mentioned the lack of all-gender toilets in the building, they've gone ahead and added them to the plans.
:-D (Bonus - they'll be WAY closer to my office than the gendered toilets.)

I mean this is completely true but also it's just as well in my case. I was never traditionally attractive when presenting masc, and I sure as fuck didn't transition because I thought it would make me a traditionally attractive fem. Certainly mostly a happier one though.
The point of transition isn’t to become an uwu beautiful uwu lady or hunk of a man (it’s nice if that happens tho). The life of an ugly and Whole woman is worth living. It is misogyny to believe that only the life of a beautiful woman is worth living. You have to become Whole.
