seeing stuff about someone going to tpusa because a trans TA failed an essay that did not follow the prompt, was poorly written, etc. and made it a "lib colleges hate normal people thing" and then seeing a bunch of tpusa ppl have looked at my linkedin as a trans grad student who is a TA like : oh no

my apologies, i reported the actual temp and not the "feels like" temp. it feels like 3F rn.

brother it is 31F rn and there's a prediction of snow for monday 🫠

obvi not the point of your post, but I hadn't thought of her for months until rn. I wonder how a graduate program in biology at Liberty is going for her and if any employer ever would take that seriously

hell. She and I were also leaving this workplace at about the same time to both go to grad school. She constantly talked about how great this program was. Months after leaving she popped up as recommended to me on LinkedIn. She's attending a grad program in BIOLOGY at LIBERTY.

ok this isn't related to which Falwell is worse, but whenever people mention Liberty, I can't help but think about a former coworker. She and I worked in HIV research and she was such a bully in the workplace. I was targeted for daring to be trans and also obviously neurodivergent. She made my life

and of course that owl that haunts me (ive heard it plenty of times but cannot ever see it)

if we ignore the content of the essay and just look at the syntax, grammar, etc., this is a really bad essay and without a doubt did not earn whatever points were available for proper conventions, which is something i see frequently with students

before some dipshit comes in with "but jake you spell shit wrong and type in all lowercase when you feel like it" : brother that is because i am on bluesky dot com. i write pretty well, actually! if you want to see my actual academic writing, i can share that sometime

tblastx is taking a sufficiently long time to run and is making my hopeful i may get some kind of actual output. no idea why blastn wouldnt be returning anything tho
