This is what university life SHOULD be. What more could we want for our students? That instead of us just lecturing them into repeating our mistakes, we empower them to teach other, care deeply, experiment, and to play w making the society they want to bring into being?

Jessie is fun because all of his stuff starts by saying "X is a mendacious liar, choosing to mutilate children for profit, and I can PROVE it" and then you wade through ten paragraphs of prose and it's like "Well, I think that the 2021 survey structure could really be improved-"

But those ROGD "studies" that surveyed transphobic parents are gospel, right? It's only parents who say their kids are happier and healthier after transition that are off-base? FFS, TRANS ADULTS AND KIDS HAVE ALREADY TOLD US WHAT WORKS FOR THEM. THAT IS WHAT MATTERS.

Who is Target and how do I vote for them?

Apparently the metaphor Harding used to sell the same idea was overfeeding horses so sparrows can eat the undigested oats they shit out. Even Reagan couldn't disguise the excrement, we all understand that it's piss 'trickling down'. This was always a disingenuous con.

You know who used to keep lists of how incoming 18yo's view the world? College professors. I find myself constantly recallibrating my sense of what The Youths' foundational experiences are. The kids are NOT OKAY, that's why their mental health is terrible!! It's THIS WORLD.

the things that you tuck away for fear of a review that says ‘there is a PROBLEM with this art because it has always been done another way’ THOSE ARE YOUR SUPERPOWERS. the gatekeepers want you to tuck those parts of yourself away because THEY TUCKED AWAY THOSE PART OF THEMSELVES

In 2024, major donors at elite universities are threatening to bail if pro-Palestinian protests are not shut down immediately. And so administrators are acting decisively to protect their most basic interests. It's ugly, but it is that simple. 15/15

Jonathan Chait This is embarrassing. It's extremely telling that Singal has no one in his life who will take him aside and tell him not to post stuff like this

We knew 4 years ago about the reality of police brutality. We saw what cops do to peaceful protesters. We saw it all over the damn country. We talked about doing something, but folks moved on.

Shay Stewart Bouley So many Dems turned their attention from attacking Trump to attacking those demanding accountability. They insisted Biden was handling all crises, so they must never be discussed. Their deception and denial played a large part in creating this disaster.

It’s a disgrace to the killing fields of the 20th century, so recent, that we’ve forgotten the lessons we learned there. We can’t vote out way out of that forgetting. Voting caused the forgetting. /end
