My best friend died of a prostate cancer recurrence which was misdiagnosed. This level of complacency is unacceptable considering it's one of the largest causes of premature death in men.

Some risk based screening for prostate cancer:
a) 𝗡𝗢𝗧 going to screen black people
b) 𝗔𝗥𝗘 going to screen w̶h̶i̶t̶e̶,̶ ̶m̶i̶d̶d̶l̶e̶ ̶c̶l̶a̶s̶s̶ people who already have had genetic testing for BRCA genes (or parents have*)

Every human being should have the right to a trial by their peers. A nation that decides who is guilty or innocent solely by the leverage of power is an autocracy.

the truth? well one day i thought, "it's not good for a woman to be alone", so i made her fall into a deep sleep and formed from her rib another woman, and honestly I was pretty drunk at the time but I think it turned out well
I have a fascination with men who fully believe lesbians were invented in the year X by dude Y. In this case, a photo shoot with Rita Guerrero & Julieta Venegas from the 90s, the belief was that they were mimicking a Type O Negative album cover which invented women almost kissing.

I am currently out of the philosophy department on parental leave. if this inquiry is about classes for next semester, please email the chair of the department. if your inquiry is about the nature or existence of the external world, please consult René Descartes' work
Just got the best out-of-office message I've ever seen from a fellow academic:
"I am currently away on leave. If this is an emergency... well, I doubt it. What could possibly be an emergency in my line of work?"

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

The Caerphilly by-election has had the highest turnout of any by-election in Wales, and the highest in the UK since Tiverton and Honiton (2022).
This could be a sign that the apathy dominating British politics during and since the 2024 election may already be waning.
