a real tell in all of this is that the trans instructor wasn't alone in trashing this essay! a whole other person also said they agreed completely that it sucked. but as far as i can tell only the trans person is getting punished. www.oklahoman.com/story/news/e...
Samantha, I am the other instructor for this course, and I have also taken the time to read your paper. I concur with on the grade you received. This paper should not be considered as a completion of the assignment.

The Venn diagram of people who ask why anyone still wears a face mask in 2025 & people who just kind of blankly stare at me and don't know what to say when I tell them that the last time I had the flu, it gave me Celiac disease and now I can't eat gluten without going to the ER- is a circle.

if you’re proudly vaccinated against COVID but you don’t bother with other precautions like masking in indoor spaces, you’re actually *undermining the effectiveness of the vaccine*

@juliadoubleday.bsky.social dropping truth on the “public heath is dead” podcast

podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/p...
All of this goes back to the fact that people don't understand the limits of the COVID vaccines. They don't understand what the COVID vaccines do and don't do. They don't understand the way the COVID virus is mutating around vaccine protection. “So like, I've seen people saying like, oh, well, if you wear a mask, that means you don't trust the vaccine. Well, no, I mean, you're harming the vaccine by not masking because you're allowing the vaccine, which is supposed to be a last line of defense against the virus, to be a first line of defense against the virus.”

“The problem with Long COVID is that most of society would rather not see it.”

@philipandrewhoover.bsky.social writes that he often feels that he’s living a double life. How can this sick side of him be so central, so enormous, yet so unseen by those who know and love him? bit.ly/4pf80g7
Edvard Munch’s Melancholy depicts a man sitting by himself on the seashore, resting his head on his hand, with a look of deep sadness on his face. The text reads, “The Sick Times. You know someone with Long COVID. They need you to ask about it genuinely. By Philip Hoover.” “The worst part of getting Long COVID was the cruelty of the disease, a punitive unraveling of my health and identity. The next-worst part, and just as heartbreaking, was discovering how few of my friends and loved ones could engage with my illness in ways that felt caring.”

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.

They coined the term “useless eaters”.

They tested the gas chambers on us.

They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.

That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

"the essay sucks ass" is no doubt true, couldn't be bothered to read it, but consider that the essay may have been written to receive an F in order to instigate a campaign against the trans TA. in any case it's not a great dunk because this isn't about the essay, it's about purging trans ppl

The Impact of AIDS on the Artistic Community, by Fran Lebowitz. For World AIDS Day. Part 2 of 2:
8. The Impact of AIDS on the Artistic Community is that a 36-year-old writer runs into a 34-year-old painter at a party and the painter says to the writer that he is just back from Los Angeles and he says with some surprise that he had a really good time there and he asks why does she think that happened and says it's because New York is so boring now that Los Angeles is fun in comparison and that's true and it's one reason but the real reason is that they don't know the people who are dying there. 9. The Impact of AIDS on the Artistic Community is that a 36-year-old writer has dinner every night for 11 nights in a row with the same 32-year-old musician while he waits for his biopsy to come back because luckily for her she is the only one he trusts enough to tell. 10. The Impact of AIDS on the Artistic Community is that a 36-year-old writer… …trying to make plans to go out of town flips through her appointment book and hears herself say, ''Well, I have a funeral on Tuesday, lunch with my editor on Wednesday, a memorial service on Thursday, so I guess I could come on Friday, unless, of course, Robert dies.'' 11. The Impact of AIDS on the Artistic Community is that when the world's most famous artist dies of complications following surgery at the age of 61 it doesn't seem like he really died at all - it seems like he got off easy. 12. The Impact of AIDS on the Artistic Community is that at a rather grand dinner held at a venerable New York cultural institution and catered by a company famous for the beauty of its waiters a 39-year-old painter remarks to a 36-year-old writer that the company in question doesn't seem to employ as many really handsome boys as it used to and the writer replies, ''Well, it doesn't always pay to be popular.''

The Impact of AIDS on the Artistic Community, by Fran Lebowitz. For World AIDS Day. 1 of 2:
1. The Impact of AIDS on the Artistic Community is that when a 36-year-old writer is asked on a network news show about the Impact of AIDS on the Artistic Community particularly in regard to the Well-Known Preponderance of Homosexuals in the Arts she replies that if you removed all of the homosexuals and homosexual influence from what is generally regarded as American culture you would be pretty much left with ''Let's Make a Deal.'' The interviewer's lack of response compels her to conclude that he has no idea what she is talking about and she realizes that soon many of those who do know what she is talking about will be what is generally regarded as dead. 2. The Impact of AIDS on the Artistic Community is that on New Year's Eve Day… …a 36-year-old writer takes a 31-year-old photographer to get a chest X-ray and listens to him say with what can only be described as a certain guarded hope, ''Maybe I just have lung cancer.'' 3. The Impact of AIDS on the Artistic Community is that a 36-year-old writer has a telephone conversation with a dying 41-year-old book editor whom even the most practiced verbal assassin has called the last of the Southern gentlemen and hears him say in a hoarse whisper, ''I'm sorry but I just hate old people. I look at them and think, 'Why don't you die?' '' 4. The Impact of AIDS on the Artistic Community is that an aspiring little avant-garde movie director approaches a fairly famous actor in a restaurant and attempts to make social hay out of the fact that they met at Antonio's and will undoubtedly see each other at Charles's and Antonio's and Charles's are not parties and Antonio's and Charles's are not bars and Antonio's and Charles's are not summer houses in chic Tuscan towns - Antonio's and Charles's are funerals. 5. The Impact of AIDS on the Artistic Community is that a 36-year-old writer is on the telephone with a 38-year-old art director making arrangements to go together the following morning to the funeral of a 27-year-old architect and the art director says to the writer, ''If you get there first sit near the front where we usually sit and save me the seat on the aisle.'' 6. The Impact of AIDS on the Artistic Community is that a 24-year-old ballet dancer is in the hospital for 10 days following an emergency appendectomy and nobody goes to visit him because everyone is really busy and after all he's not dying or anything. 7. The Impact of AIDS on the Artistic Community is that a 36-year-old writer takes time out at a memorial service for the world's pre-eminent makeup artist and a man worth any number of interesting new painters to get angry because the makeup artist's best friend and eulogist uses a story that she has for years been hoarding for her book which she can't write anymore anyway unless she writes it as a historical novel because it's about a world that in the last few years has disappeared almost entirely.

one of the problems I have with Democrats (and other critics) labeling these "war crimes" is that it accepts the underlying claim that the people being murdered are enemy combatants. They're not! it's just murder!

Fox News' Joey Jones justifies the US military killing survivors after an initial boat strike: "An enemy combatant does not have to have a gun to be a danger or a threat... if you leave anybody alive, they can signal and let others know what’s happening and they can also retaliate through radio."

This is very good. I like to remind people that headlines in the 80s would (regularly!) talk about people who drank lattes or ate sushi as exotic, self-indulgent yuppies with obscure tastes. Media constantly made fun of “haute cuisine” meals with tiny portions because fine dining was bad.

When the two-part miniseries Anne of Green Gables debuted on CBC on Dec. 1, 1985, nearly six million Canadians tuned in. It went on to win 10 Geminis, an Emmy and a Peabody.
To this day, the miniseries is studied in film schools.
This is the story of that miniseries.

🧵 1/12
A young girl with red hair in two long braids stands outdoors in a sunlit green forest. She wears a wide-brimmed straw hat, a light brown floral long-sleeve blouse, and a blue-and-white striped pinafore dress with white ribbon bows at the shoulders. She holds a large rolled-up red-and-brown patterned blanket or quilt in front of her with both hands, looking slightly to the side with a neutral expression.
