re: my LRT

Why do I post a lot about being trans? It's about normalizing us everywhere, including the halls of power. I spent today in the Capitol chatting with university presidents and staffers. I walked with a Senator & talked about our budget priorities. Yesterday I lobbied two GOP staffers.

I want to learn more about the experiences of trans and other genderqueer faculty, staff and students at Texas public universities for a potential feature. If this is you and you're open to talk anonymously, get in touch via email (in bio) or on Signal at emmawhitford.96 #academicsky

My most postcolonialist skeet ever:

I seem to remember a lot of "aren't the colonies quaint" 8-ish years ago about the constant political battles for control of the board of the University of Puerto Rico

Sucks when it comes to the metropole, doesn't it? Universities need constitutional protection.

Regime allied provincial government scrutinized university courses to ensure that no forbidden topics are taught and to root out disloyal teachers.

As conservative taxes, politicians, identifying target faculty who teach about gender identity officials at CIES public university systems have ordered reviews of curriculum and course descriptions

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

they apparently wanted LL Cool J to do it, and when he wasn't available, they just pitched down Geddy

oof, RTB is one of my favorite albums, but the rap section in the title track is... ironically beloved at best by the fans, I'll say

You know it, well, at least the classic ones released after every 4th studio album. The later ones that got released after each tour, I dunno

2112: I'm really not sure how I didn't go full Ayn Rand as a young gifted dork in love with the title song. I even read Anthem.

Also, the East Asian riff in Passage to Bangkok really raises questions with your wife in the year of our lady 2025. Something For Nothing remains underrated.

Yes, but we have the advantage of being favored in current law, so no

Mia Murphy 🏳️‍⚧️ @miamurphy.net · 1d

oh ho ho, I'm more interested then, but! living on the east side of a time zone is still terrible versus the west. I did it for a year in Chicago and I'd never do it again if given the option.
