I honestly wonder how I would have reacted had a student decided to submit a virulently antisemitic shoddy essay to a course I was grading…would I have asked someone else to grade it to CMA? Would the same religious freedom argument have been available?

It's about ATTACKING TRANS PEOPLE!!!

That Viral Essay Scandal is (SURPRISE!) Actually About Trans People
A shoddy Oklahoma University essay went viral. Cis people think this is about conservatives whining for better grades. Trans people see a planned attack on a trans academic.

The irony of this is that in my exhaustion yesterday, not only am I entirely unprepared for class today, but I forgot to set my alarms and were it not for the rumblings of that tummy to rouse me out of my slumber, I'd probably have slept through my first meetings.
He's simply too tired from the unbearable weight of existence.
I have to say after this very exhausting weekend, I definitely empathize.
(He also hasn't left me alone since I got home. Except for now, he just went to get something to eat I think and he wearies of having pictures taken.)

Love this, and the end is the major lesson from Hillel
דַּעֲלָךְ סְנֵי לְחַבְרָךְ לָא תַּעֲבֵיד

Does anyone else find it smirk-worthy that this comes out of Salt Lake City?
In a new doctrinal note, Pope Leo and the Vatican sharply reject polygamy and growing Western polyamory, praising monogamy as an exclusive union between one man and one woman.

Move along, nothing to see here. Just the President of the United States casually calling all transgender people crazy. I'm sure that no one will take that as permission to use violence against people like me.
Trump: "A lot of the Saudis are sitting here saying, 'What the hell is he talking about? Transitioning?' They don't do a lot of transitioning. They're saying, 'What do you mean women are playing against men? That doesn't happen does it?" Yeah it does. These people are crazy."
