Colyar is openly bigoted against nonbinary people like me earlier in this conversation, so I'd be wary using them for support on any argument regarding queer "allyship".

That square. And then we had to have a conversation, and that was really difficult at the time. It was really intense, you know?

What you were saying about the Biden years, I think the reason it feels like we’re having this kind of backlash to this culture right now is because of the institutionalization of it in our workplaces and on campuses. And I don’t think even good liberal people feel like the antiracist training that they’re doing in their office is helping anyone. Even people who respect people’s pronouns and believe in nonbinary identity or whatever, I don’t think that they think that putting it in their signature is helping anyone, and I think they’re rolling their eyes and laughing about it in private.

Four years ago (yesterday), a visit to the doctor's office led me to intenstive care. I told myself that I wouldn't cut my hair until my doctors said "everything's good, keep doing what you're doing." I'm finally at that point, but I kinda like my longer hair.

I'm all for sites like this. It keeps repellent users out of our dating pool!

The application, which can take hours to complete, asks users for their height, ancestral background, SAT score and their feelings about entrepreneurs. They can chose from an exhaustive list of political affiliations (conservative or progressive, Zionist or anti-Zionist, neoliberal or neo-Nazi) and select their partner’s “ideal” ethnicity. The system can assess their cheekbone prominence, jaw strength or body-fat percentage from a scanned photo, and analyze their application to estimate an IQ score.

Creatives! Show me your favorite thing you made in 2025. It could be a sketch, a painting, a book, a sculpture - something YOU made that you're proud of, big or small. ------ Draft five of the novel is done, more mirthful, and I have finally closed the file.

Hopefully begging Sky to lock my dick in a cage to prepare for meeting my adviser will be the most extreme reaction to the stress of writing a Master's Thesis in this year's cohort. We deserve a relaxed year.
Bianca, my academic angel, can done everything she could over the last month. "What can I possibly do to satisfy Dr. Williams?" I screamed to her, veins bulging from my forehead and neck. My distinguished adviser enjoyed acting like a toddler in a temper tantrum, shouting "No!" at all my ideas.
Just one week left to penetrate his impossible guessing game for a last revision.

Great read, but it scares me that this has to be explained to so many people when it’s core to the plot of the first novel I’m working on.

If the viewer were receiving this narrative via a medium other than sex scenes, it would be obvious what was happening. It would be the will-they-or-won’t-they format that critics insist this show isn’t doing. But—and please hold my hands and look me in the eyes when I say this—this is still a will-they-or-won’t-they format. It’s just that the following verb is different than what you’re expecting it to be. It’s not will-they-or-won’t-they fuck. It’s will-they-or-won’t-they find happiness with each other. That’s the thing the show is building up to, the climax it’s building tension for.

When I sat on the graduate student admissions committee, I saw so much open bigotry *from sociologists* based on race, family wealth prestige markers, and gender when discussing who to admit. I can only imagine the anti-trans bigotry from these scholars (intentionally?) missing the point.

Anthony Michael Kreis post, reposted by Brendan Nyhan. This won’t be a popular opinion, but I don’t think the instructor was right here. The assignment said that the goal was for students to demonstrate they completed the readings *and* they could do so by reflecting on, among other things, their personal experiences. www.oudaily.com/news/ou-stat...

Have no fear, Democratic leadership is on top of a possible shutdown!

End of a massive text from Democratic leadership about the impending shutdown.

Their solution? “I’m asking for an overwhelming response - 3,500 Democratic members before tonight’s critical End of Quarter deadline … to make political donations”

No calling for mass protest of Republicans rising insurance costs or anti-trans provisions.

Newsom personally went out to clear encampments for the unhoused, tearing down what little community they have.

I’m a long time fan of one of the teams that is the definition of misery for their sport in here. And the Mets.

Misery index 79. You are flailing. Lets’s look at it this way: you’re not at rock bottom. There’s always a chance you could improve your fortunes in the coming year.

Screen shotted paragraph 2 of 2 only. Here is number 1. Very little chance that senior administrator is saying something other admins disagree with. Better chance it is the interim president or longest serving senior admin.

A Columbia senior administrator said the school considered legal options to challenge the Trump team but ultimately determined the federal government has so many available levers to claw back money, it would be a difficult fight. Additionally the school believed there was considerable overlap between needed campus changes and Trump’s demands.

Story has several claims without sources suggesting this was a good idea and doesn’t quote any of the *many* professors saying it is a terrible idea. Strong “admin wanted to comply and said so off the record vibes.” Also this:
