Decided to do some quick-ish grading of the Intro to CIS class, which is pretty quick to grade. Counter to my usual status at this time, I'm on top of grading all those sections.
Still have so much to grade for my Business Communication class and my own work, but I'm on top of at least one class.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

My hands on your face you beautiful child listen to me there is no sale worth going shopping on Thanksgiving. Do not support Black Thursday. Do not tell these companies to keep their employees away from their families on a holiday that should be about spending time with family.

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

My take on Christmas was heavily informed by my dad, who threw medieval, Victorian, and Biblical practices in a bag and shook 'em up, in the public sphere.

When he passed, I inherited Falstaff here, who moved from his studio to mine. Dad had gotten him in trade decades ago, to use in church. 1/

This is HUGE. Hard to overstate the importance to this event to the town and region. The international comics publishing will also take a hit but they have many other ways to promote and sell. The comics festival IS Angoulême.

Addendum to this excellent post:

You do not have to be good at something to have fun.

Don't hold yourself up to hyperrealistic or professional or your favourite ___ standards.

You're new and learning!
Be YOU, not a copy of someone else.
I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

On this day in 1995, an article published by a Princeton University professor entitled "The Coming of the Super-Predators" wrongly predicted that violence in the U.S. would rise dramatically due to growing "moral poverty" by poor and minority youth.

I bought the back mat purely on rahaeli's rec and it came yesterday. I was on it for 30 minutes and it made a ton of the knots in my back better and decompressed my spine. I haven't been this pain-free in years. We have two friends in town. They both tried it and where like yo wtf is this sorcery.
