I have literally never cared about anything as much as Republicans (including those on the Supreme Court) care about whether someone was actually born with a penis.
NEW at SCOTUS: the Court decides 6-3 that Trump can require transgender people to list their biological sex on passport applications. Justice Jackson writes a long dissent, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan.

Lol race science is back baby, and it's stupider and more transparently capitalist than ever
A new paper suggests a photo can tell a recruiter much about an applicant’s personality

The NYTimes is coming hard for c-sections today (!) One article addressing "the worst test in medicine" (continuous electronic fetal monitoring) and how it leads to unnecessary c-sections (known & ignored for decades) (1/6)

This is how I feel about many of my toddler's books. They're just giving him ideas. I had to hide one potty training book because it was all about how he shouldn't use the potty for anything except pottying (e.g. as a boat or a container for snacks). Such things had never occurred to him.
I didn't even *want* to lean on the barrier until I saw this cool guy doing it

I cried watching Mamdani's acceptance speech today because it's so incredible to see an American politician fighting for straight forward, tangible things that would make life better for people like me, like free buses and subsidized childcare.

I have created and assigned a printed course pack for the first time in my 11-year career in higher ed and I am having the best class ever! The students are doing the readings and they are engaged in discussions.
