I often stand naked in front of a full-length mirror, studying myself to better come to terms with my imperfections. It’s not an easy thing to do though, and quite frankly I feel IKEA security could be a little more supportive.

A lot of defence contractor discourse on bsky today. If anyone cares, I briefly worked as a quality-control tester for a company that had contracts with weapons manufacturers. I only realised it when I saw the documentation for some parts I was inspecting.

I find it weird that newspapers characterize students as being “pro-Palestinian” as opposed to anti whatever you call this.

Related to this: when I was learning to read, my parents had home delivery of two different newspapers. As young as six, I was usually reading something from the paper over breakfast. That just doesn't exist anymore.
And before the inevitable"but think of the ways these digital tools enhance learning!" perspective...I have been teaching a looong time, and the unavoidable conclusion I am reaching is that literacy skills are *decreasing* simultaneously with the advance of tech. 1/2

Occasionally you come across an academic paper that you simply have to stop and read.

My timeline is full of americans talking about ww2 usaaf bombers in europe for some reason, and all I have to say is they all sucked. The RAF had better equipment and better tactics.

The Constitutional Crisis is already here. You've been living in it since (at least) the 2000 recount. It cannot be averted, and thus reset US government to the midcentury bipartisan consensus, but it can be won or lost.

Queer Palestinians don’t need more pinkwashing of apartheid. They need an end to the occupation and a free Palestine.

random weird fact I know: the first recorded use of the singular “they” in the English language was the 1375 story “William and the Werewolf,” obv referring to the werewolf so happy halloween to all they/thems carrying on a fine 700-year tradition, be gay be cryptid get candy
the “they” in “they follow” is wokeism

the real bottom line is this: we should not have to draft a blueprint for a workable Middle East peace plan before we’re allowed to stand against a campaign of mass murder

We had a debate team, but the faculty sponsor, who was in her 60s and had an eyebrow piercing, whom we once saw on some Comedy Central show singing about her vagina, was caught with meth in her purse, and I think the debate team got shut down. I had switched schools by that point.
schools need debate teams to keep these kids busy
