Ah, what a relief--the "You would have been better off as a real doctor" discourse has entered the family chat...as justification for the fat-shaming that preceded it.

Dans l'image ci-dessous "Appels à l'armée à désobéir aux ordres" : Inexact. Le message était de désobéir aux ordres ILLÉGAUX.
Nulle part on ne mentionne qu'un appel à la peine de mort pour ses opposants et en fait pas mal plus fou que le message démocrates.

A president can’t even call for the execution of the elected officials trying to stop his assault on the law anymore, because of woke. Just kidding, he can and did call for their execution
I know I’m a libtard but I think it’s bad the U.S. president keeps calling for the killing of specific sitting elected officials who didn’t even commit crimes

Media seem obsessed with framing a story with someone “breaking their silence”
It’s not an exiled whistleblower…it’s Sophie Trudeau mentioning her ex’s relationship with the woman who sings about being a plastic bag drifting through the wind.

Teaching a course with students from all years and so many disciplines:

4th years: omg we are doing worksheets? I forgot how cute these are.
All of them: NEVER write their names on their assignments, EVER.

Great backgrounder from the Advocate on how a small group of more or less professional detransitioners and rare stories of regret are being weaponized by Reps to drive policy and drown out local voices. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
Detransition is rare, but it’s driving anti-trans policy anyway
Political rhetoric doesn’t capture the complexity of detransitioning — or what taking away health care means.
