the use of "color revolution" here is like the spoor of the authoritarian internationale--the way that russian propaganda has slithered its way in to the american right
Sen. Eric Schmitt: "This is the language of a color revolution where you're calling on military men and women to disobey orders."

a real tell in all of this is that the trans instructor wasn't alone in trashing this essay! a whole other person also said they agreed completely that it sucked. but as far as i can tell only the trans person is getting punished. www.oklahoman.com/story/news/e...

I made the Chicago Reader's Best of Chicago 2025 - Novelist list for voting. Thank you.

I'm thankful for the Chicago literary community. To all of Chicago.

I love writing. It's all I ever want to do, and eat and sleep and spend time with my family and go to a White Sox game.

Not begrudging anyone who can still enjoy it, but after a 2 or 3 year wait between seasons and major real-life revelations about the main actors, I just cannot bring myself to care about Stranger Things anymore, like I was a really big fan and now I have zero interest

One of the reasons that 'right-wing ideology appropriates absolutely everything' is their quixotic desire to make inherently uncool ideas seem cool. They despise the cultural currency and cachet that a wide variety artists hold and are forever engaged in a futile quest to capture a modicum of cool.

The combination of fascism covid more fascism genocide capitulation to fascism and the clear goal of AI tech bros to eradicate the workforce and make all jobs and future goals irrelevant as we all slide into poverty while eleven rich people become gods is really doing a number on us.
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.

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

If youre equivocating about the actual fairness of the numbers of the grade of a paper that you managed 2 read because it was shared by the stochastic nazi terror org whose mission is to make colleges places unsafe for queers and POC might I suggest you've lost the fucking plot

This won’t be a popular opinion, but I don’t think the instructor was right here. The assignment said that the goal was for students to demonstrate they completed the readings *and* they could do so by reflecting on, among other things, their personal experiences. www.oudaily.com/news/ou-stat...

Oh, the instructor who was fired for giving an F to a Trumpist loser for citing the Bible in a scientific paper is *trans*? It's almost like we're being eliminated from society one by one or something.

A college student complaining about a grade on a paper is not national news. Not even close. The details have minimal import outside the class itself.

Well-funded political activists targeting profs and TAs—in this case because they're trans—with the help of elected state officials? National issue.
