People are distrustful of higher ed, but don’t like Trump’s approach. The administration is bad at using carrots to get longer-term results. That’s encouraging on the one hand because it’s implies we could move on. It’s discouraging on the other because Trump’s only play is to wreck.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Basma. Basma was a makeup artist and did eyelash extensions before the war. She lost her home and the tower she worked in was recently destroyed. She has 4 children Tulin, 9, Malak, 7, Kamal, 5 and baby Maryam who is just 9 months old.

"Migration im Stadtbild" ist einfach nur rechter Code für "nicht-weiße Menschen". Wer "Migration im Stadtbild" loswerden will, will nicht-weiße Menschen loswerden. Alle. Auch Staatsbürger.
Ich weiß, dass Merz sowas nur sagt, weil er glaubt, damit "die AfD zu schwächen". Aber den Preis zahlen alle.

Discworld QOTD, from Reaper Man
"C.M.O.T.

And THREE stood up!

Penn has joined MIT & Brown in rejecting Trump’s loyalty oath compact.

When we join together and fight back, WE WIN!

My strongest book-related belief is that the paperback should come first and then the hardback after for people who want a fancy edition.

a close up of the blade of a 4 inch pointing trowel in use as an archaeological tool. the upper side of the blade has a notch cut into it that could conceivably be used as a bottle opener.

As well as the brilliant writing and evocative stories in Anna Ansari's new book, Silk Roads, the recipes are fabulous too. Kicked things off by making a dish of Uyghur ziran doufu (cumin tofu), and loved its aromatic spices and kick of heat against the crispy tofu cubes. Can't wait to try again! 🔥

Anyone willing to repost this thread and/or trans men who want to share for cis folks in particular to hopefully actually listen to us for a change ... I'm grateful. If the replies get annoying I'll shut it down.
