"We have a number of students located in Qatar and the UAE at any given time, so if you're teaching this month, some of your students may be affected by what is happening there right now."

*deep breaths*

Tell that to DHS you reckless warmonger

SRRT: ALA should condemn bombings by the US on Iran

Me: seems uncontroversial, surely there won't be...

<insert WELL ACTUALLY WHAT ABOUT THIS reply>

Me: ...

Me: I wish I had bourbon stashed in my office

The NYT style guide

This is exactly what it sounds like: a plan to implement tapering and discontinuation of HRT for any trans person in prison, regardless of how long they've been on it or what surgeries they've had.

This is medical torture, and will kill people.

Having to fix AI/machine translation is more work than just translating from scratch.

AI does not "assist" translators, it just makes their work harder, brings down the quality, and impacts their pay. 😭

I get the urge to say everything is a distraction from the Epstein files but there's no way to do that without sounding like you're saying "you don't fool me hundreds of murdered children, countless lives torn apart and global instability. I remain steadfast in only ever entertaining one thought."

Vanderbilt Will Stop Providing Gender-Affirming Surgeries to Trans Adults The hospital cited “operational limitations” for the decision.

Horrifying and also as predicted. This is genocidal shit. The only hospital in Tennessee that offered this kind of care. www.them.us/story/vander...

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

Highly disappointing to see you promote this guy

Lot of military recruitment ads this weekend on Peacock...

"Paid for by the Department of War"

🙄

hot take: if you're an American, this is not a nuanced issue. you do not need to "listen to Iranian voices" here. you need to tell your leaders to stop bombing a country and killing people. that's literally it.

One of the few good human only translation companies gets bought out by company that uses slop.

This sucks

If you want to read voices of young artists in Iran, please support the comics anthology "Young in Iran" published with @comicsworkshop.bsky.social It's 264 pages, 6x9 inches, and was censored by Kickstarter. Take a look: www.sequentialartistsworkshop.org/saw-shop/p/y...

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god

Who's ready for even higher prices?

WPD claims to be down some like 60 officers.

They still have plenty of work time to harass unhoused folks under the Green St. bridge, even when it is actively snowing.

Seems to me they still have more officers than they need.

How is killing children brave exactly

I don't think stories about people eligible for retirement continuing to work are inspiring, regardless of specifics.

There are several ways a dictatorship can transition to a democracy. A foreign power assassinating the dictator in an unprovoked war isn't one of them.

Are

You

Fucking

Kidding

not a distraction—killing Iranian girls 🤝raping american girls
🤝 trans genocide🤝 Palestinian genocide IT ALL THE SAME
THING

My little town has almost everything I need except for an Ethiopian restaurant. I’m thinking about suing somebody over it. Somebody.

The American government bombed babies today and you either recognize that great evil or shut the fuck up

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing.

they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran.

for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
