every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

i am once again popping up to say that stopantisemitism is a far-right pro-maga convicted tax cheat israeli-american millionaire’s astroturfed anti-antisemitism org founded bc the adl was “too liberal” and not anti-palestinian enough and that it has no actual support within the jewish community
the fact that nick fuentes isn’t here but ms rachel is illustrates perfectly that groups like this don’t actually care about antisemitism at all

The only thing that actually unites all these folks are critical of Israel. Some are antisemitic and some aren’t, but that’s barely relevant here.

The irony is that this obfuscation makes Jews far less safe by erasing and minimizing actual antisemitism.

These groups don’t care about that tho.

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them
OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

Shared Fantasy, the first sociological monograph about roleplaying games, is about a period when established players are dealing with a new wave of younger players with different priorities. The period is 1978.
A game where you can do anything and they’re mad that people are doing anything.

Well go figure it was easy to find some online pdfs of the Jewish Farmer, the early 20th century Yiddish-language agricultural magazine meant to help new immigrant Jews be successful as American farmers. Ex: an intro to selecting a good milk cow!

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

Please understand, if you are not in higher ed in the US, that this is a playbook that is so common that instructors brace for it (and you can see that in the feedback to the paper, which for sure took more time than the original submission did, & probably at least one meeting)
My favorite part of this is her contacting the fucking governor first, four hours after getting her essay feedback

one real problem with contemporary evangelicalism is the tendency to try and appeal to the Hebrew proof texts without reading any Hebrew outside of specific concepts used in sermons
The brief discussion of the Hebrew is also just not true. It treats the prepositional כנגדו (comparative prepositional prefix; נגד, also a preposition meaning opposite, corresponding to, in front of, facing, etc; then the third person possessive suffix) as if it were a noun without any citations
