Yes that was entirely the goal of this all, and for some bizarre reason academics were framing this whole thing in the context of rubrics and whether the paper deserved an A or B or whatever.

Congratulations on playing the transphobes’ game so well.

For Day 22 of #ArtAdventCalendar, a tiny notecard with a quick watercolor doodle of one of my gremlin figures (who will be heading to his new home tomorrow! 🥹💚)
An ink and watercolor doodle featuring a gremlin with huge ears and webbed, duck-like feet. He is holding a fishing rod and a bucket, and is adorned with algae.

Hey I have an almost 25 yo blog with a community I just described as "one of the most loathesome, miserable, no good groups of foul-mouthed misanthropic miscreants and ne’er-do-wells to ever congeal together in a sump basin in this online sewer." Come join us.

Sunset at the local patch #grounded #birdoftheday #birds
Ruby crowned kinglet on the grassy ground, facing the camera. The light illuminates the left side of this mostly olive colored bird (borb) and his ruby crest can just be seen through his crown feathers.

I’m not gonna watch the CECOT segment because I know it’s going to be horrific and I’m already horrified every moment of every day but I’m very glad it’s out there, it’s important that it’s out there, and it’s gonna hold CBS accountable for any changes they make to it and that’s a very good thing.

That yellow belly is puffed out and that red crest is raised because I was too close when I filled the feeders. so I went and got my camera and got closer! These are beautiful birds and I'm always happy to host them... that poor tree is probably not as happy about it. 😂 #birds
Sufferin Succotash! I knew that yellow bellied sapsuckers were birds far before I ever knew what one looked like. The yellow on this male is about as bright as I've ever seen.

#ArtAdventCalendar, Dec 22.
Pine martin taking a moment to sit in the snow next to an old tree stump where it's learned that the peanut butter lives.
Pine martins are "a slender, agile mustelid (weasel family) with rich brown fur, darker legs, large rounded ears, and a long, bushy tail, about the size of a house cat, known for being expert tree climbers with a distinctive pale yellow or cream-colored throat patch (bib). This one was at a bird feeding station in the Sax-Zim Bog. It turns out they really like peanut butter and there was some at the top of the old stump it's sitting next to.

It’s solstice December 21 #ArtAdventCalendar and that calls for lots of lights. Here’s a series of #aurora to go with the single shot from a few days ago. North, east, west-south-west and north again.

#art #photography #saskatchewan #astronomy
Looking north, framed above horizon. The sky is multiple, brilliant shades of green. Along the bottom right, clouds show as black. Along the left, black sky at the bottom then the line where the aurora starts has areas of red and yellow at the very base, reaching up into the greens fairly quickly. Fades out towards the top of the photo. This really stayed quite a solid and bright curtain of greens, flickering and moving back and forth but not moving up and down much. Looking east. At the bottom of the photo, tree tops are in silhouette. Above the treetops, the entire frame is filled with pink-red, very light green, and silvery-white aurora. You can see some stars in the exposure. These are not as bright as the greens, but they flickered and flowed much higher into the sky, so much so that there were complete overhead views. The bright greens were much more vertical curtains, these were like waterfalls across the top of the sky. Looking west-south-west. There is a large tree silhouetted foreground, with a band of dark (yard). Horizon line shows a few bright yard lights in the distance (10 miles probably? More?). The sky shows more of the pink-red-silver across the entire frame. These lights are much more ethereal and are moving much more that the bright greens. These really do dance and form patterns and waves. Looking north again as everything came together in this direction; the reds & silvers higher up moving down to meet the bright green curtains. Tall trees in silhouette at bottom left and right of the picture.

My uncle died at 41 with Down Syndrome and likely Alzheimer's, because a huge percentage of people living with Down Syndrome develop it. He wasn't verbal enough to know for sure.

He could never have defended himself or his own existence. Using this word soils your soul every time it's uttered.

“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”
Perry: The return of the r-word
"These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.
