Ok @realgdt.bsky.social, this needs to happen.
In a dream that was clearly fueled by grading for my Archaeology of Mexico & Central America class, @realgdt.bsky.social announced the start of filming for a trilogy of movies bringing to life Miguel León-Portilla's classic, "The Broken Spears: The Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico."

This response is the exact type of response a student *should* receive and that the instructor has been removed is both an attack on academic integrity as well as a clear and targeted attack on a trans instructor. Despicable on the part of the student, the university, and of course TPUSA.
idk not to mention how very nuanced and normal the actual response here was

My very first semester at OU, way back in 2015, a student complained to my chair that I was ‘opinionated’ and rigid because I wouldn’t accept her statement about Hitler being sound on economic policy and therefore ‘shades of grey’
When I tell you I am not surprised about the trans TA being targeted

An impromptu autistic poem for RFK Jr.
Keep your nonsense beliefs
off of me and my kids,
resign your unearned post
immediately.
You do nothing but harm
as you blather your shit.
We will resist you
indefinitely.

“They want me to disappear.
But I’m not going to do that.
Even if they take everything from me.
Even if they take my freedom.
My life.
My existence will continue.
And I will haunt them for eternity.
They’re scared of me.
But I’m not scared of them.”

I am glad to see SCOTUS denying Kim Davis's attempt to overturn marriage equality.
These baseless attempts to invalidate marriage for same-sex couples are designed to intimidate our community and put families like mine in danger. We all deserve to be happy, and if we choose, to get married.

Today the U.S. Supreme Court denied review of a case that sought to challenge marriage equality. It’s a major relief for so many in the LGBTQ community, who have seen relentless attacks on their dignity and equality in recent years.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Transphobia is an entire entertainment industry – they create and consume its content like football. Hatred as a lifestyle choice. Its better funded than your favorite hobby.
They hate us recreationally. Hating us is what they do with their free time.

‘Biological pronouns’, now part of a decision in the US courts, was workshopped in plain sight by British GCs. British GCs have been ascendant in large part due to US funding of their associated fake charities and activist orgs.
Transphobia is an organised, international war effort.

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:
"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."
No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

I'm so goddamn tired of saying this but: this is it.
All the worrying that trans folks have had since he took office? This is why. This is the first step on a short road that ends with the criminalization of trans existence in the US. It isn't doomsaying. It isn't panic. It's right in front of us.

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.
“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡
Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.
