Letters from Tehran by JohnΒ LeJeune Letters from Tehran by Kassandra Khomeini Introduction These documents were discovered in the U.S. embassy in Tehran by a study abroad student. They were unsigned, unmarked, and sealed in a β€œprominently displayed” diploma cover. The student was arrested by the Basij for espionage and sentenced to death. His death adds to the growing epidemic of chronic absenteeism in American universitiesβ€”though at this moment, he is passing all his classes Summa Cum Absentia and is on track to graduate.

In John LeJeune's found-documents story, a mysterious report recounting the fatal meteor strike that destroyed Southeastern Sideways State University (SSSU) wasn't enough to kill its bureaucracy, today at Villain Era! πŸ–€πŸ”ͺ

Is autism preventable in certain cases after all? Some scientists say yes. Some research suggests that avoiding environmental exposures, especially pre-conception, may help. Influencers branded the idea β€œtrimester zero,” but the science is in early stages.

Autistic people are more likely to be LGBTQ than the general populations, so movements like this are doubly worrisome.
