I need you cis people to understand this. Rachel Levine did everything right. Legal name change. Legal sex update. So professional and accomplished she got SENATE APPROVAL as an open trans woman.
There's nothing we can do that they won't ignore to hurt us. So don't let them.

Even if she wasn't pepper sprayed (and I take anything a DHS spokesperson says these days with a grain of salt), ask yourself as a thought exercise: If an ICE agent discharged a firearm and hit someone he wasn't directly aiming at, shouldn't there still be some culpability?
"She wasn’t pepper sprayed," Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security said. "She was in the vicinity of someone who *was* pepper sprayed as they were obstructing and assaulting law enforcement."

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

I try really hard not to judge new Star Trek shows in advance. That being said, I'm not loving the vibe from this poster. Feels like it's trying to be The Next Generation version of Dawson's Creek or Friends.

Confirmation email finally dropped overnight with tracking info. Package is currently about three hours upstate from me and will presumably arrive on schedule tomorrow after all. Hallelujah, it's a Festivus miracle.

I've finally found something that I've been looking for for years.
Yes, it's an old colander... but it's there's something special and historical about the artefact... can you tell what's so extra interesting about it?
