Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

Wow....... a fascist scheme that wants to separate autism into useful people and impaired people..... this sounds familiar with some reason..................

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 9d

Azeen Ghorayshi at the NYT has moved on from going after trans people and is now pushing the leasing question that autism diagnoses are too common because of its expansion of it to a spectrum.

Alt text: A screenshot of a New York Times article titled “Should the Autism Spectrum Be Split Apart?” The image shows a woman with dark hair tied back with an orange patterned ribbon, smiling and leaning forward near a window with sunlight coming in. She is wearing a light orange top with thin straps.

I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

Yes some of y'all are mad whiteness is no longer enough to protect you. The denial and exceptionalism that erases the embrace of anti-Black racial terror that got us here in the first place.

Gotta block and treat you like the quicksand you are and stay focused on where the REAL solidarity is.

Going to have to get the tattoos retouched. Not excited, but hoping it’s only a single trip.

In other news, I had a lot of fun this week having students in my Intro to Black Women's Studies course apply black feminist thought to Taylor Swift's oeuvre, including her new album. They were brilliant! One of the groups called themselves "ASS: The Anti-Swift Society". I do like my job..

It's difficult at times to hold both "this admin is doing lasting and serious damage to our institutions and the globe" and "this admin is full of the most bafflingly incompetent idiots you've ever seen who fall over themselves like a Vaudeville act constantly."

The duality of man is incredible.

He looked at me with those eyes that
Dazzle me into seeing other worlds.
His smile drains me of all pain,
And he takes my hand to say,
“I love you.”
I hold him, waiting to see if it
Ends. I think about him each day,
His eyes still burning in my
Struggle to survive.

My psychology of mythology lecture has gone predictably wrong. (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social). #TFEveryday

TF Sketch: Gryphon transformation. Professor Scritch is shown in torn clothing, glancing over his shoulder as massive wings burst from his back and a lion’s tail tears through his pants. His legs and feet have already become those of a lion. One outstretched hand is transforming into a talon, while the other, still partly human, clutches at his throat as he feels feathers emerging. His glasses now rest atop a large, curved beak.

The only kind of climate change I can approve of 😌

Two big red cats circle a terrified hog encased in ice. The cat's tails are flames and melt the ice partially, exposing some pig butt and giving it a singe. "Uh-oh Step-Pig, I'm Stuck...!" ok I made the joke for you so you don't have to. Hot ham smoke emits from the pig and spells "BECOME AN" and melted ice on the bottom spells "ICE-FREE ZONE"

my other big American literary teaching complaint is that even the good teaching focuses far too much on symbolism and character and not nearly enough on tone, style, figures of speech and the suchlike. It's often a bird's eye view of the text rather than a tight-up read of paragraphs or sentences.
