if you're wondering why your trans friends everywhere are a little on edge right now, it's because a story about a radical conservative christian student abusing rules and processes to deliberately target a trans instructor consistently gets reframed to omit the entirety of the anti-trans bigotry
If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

Anytime I hear ABA called "The Gold Standard" for autism treatment I want to ask "who considers it that?" What organizations authorized that. Also surprised to see no critical voices of ABA in this piece.

It's the 'gold standard' in autism care. Why are states reining it in?
Budget shortfalls and nearly $1 trillion in looming federal Medicaid cuts have prompted states to rein in spending on a widely embraced autism therapy, pinching families who depend on the services.

If ICE gets to decide against all evidence that your documentation is fake, just because they say so, then there is no law. For anyone, but especially for Black and brown people the Supreme Court has declared are warrantless arrest targets.
Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales was born in Maryland. She has a valid U.S. birth certificate, medical and immunization records, and sworn affidavits.
Yet, ICE claims her documents are “not authentic” and has held her in immigration detention for days.

Anyway back in high school I was in a magnet program that used to admit 50% boys and 50% girls.
Right before my year, parents of boys complained and demanded strict merit-based admission.
My year was like 80% girls so shoutout to the boymoms for making sure their sons didn't steal my slot.

I am 100% opposed to these laws because in all cases they are used to pressure disabled people to die. Because that's cheaper than providing the supports they need to live. It happens in Canada with MAID, it happens in Oregon, it will happen in Illinois.

There’s a whole thing in Hanukah about how you’re supposed to “publicize the miracle” except that there are all sorts of exceptions in times of danger.
