The Board of Governors decided, unilaterally, that no published textbook in the field of sociology could be used in compliance with the law for an Intro to Sociology class. None. Victor: There's not a single existing textbook on the market that could be used that would qualify under state law? Zachary: Correct. Victor: I'm sorry, that's kind of funny. Like, the absurdity of not a single sociology textbook getting past the censors. I mean, it makes me kind of proud of our colleagues, but...

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.

This is a tangible thing you can do to help not kill the disabled people in your life — we're about 1/4th of the population, and a lot of immune-compromising chronic illness is invisible.

We had a medication compounded for our cat who has now passed & it was supposed to be chicken flavored. Ashley (the cat) & I both agreed that it smelled absolutely nothing like chicken

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Our Side Of The Deal the tl;dr of covenant, and everything since Creation: Choose Life

Coming off Thanksgiving, and @theradr.bsky.social has a banger of an article.

The coda is going to stick me with a while: “We must choose life, every day. “Every policy. With every risk. Every effort.
“Which doesn't mean that it's easy.
“Only that it's the most important thing in the world.”

North Carolina has really shown out. Comrades are telling me that they have gotten 500 to 1000 people out to ICE Watch trainings [with more people wanting to attend].

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

A literary hub article, with a photo of journalists overlooking dead journalists, with the living and the dead all wearing press vests. The headline reads "A Letter supportring six honorable journalists in Northwern Gaza"

Something everyone needs to know about @sfdirewolf.bsky.social Alice Wong was her commitment to Palestine. Just a year ago, she & I wrote a letter in @literaryhub.bsky.social defending six Palestinian journalists. Sadly, Alice now joins two of them on the other side: Anas al-Sharif & Hossam Shabat

I don't know why I thought this was obvious, but murdering Jewish people for being Jewish is antisemitism.

It's also antisemitism when you choose not to understand that Jewish people aren't the same thing as the country of Israel and nor are all Jewish people zionists or supporters of that country.

Covid is a social justice issue.

Mitigations like masks, anti virals, air purifiers and tests cost money.

We should have free respirators in public places. Mandatory masking in hospitals. Clean air benchmarks. Paid time off.

Those steps would drastically reduce spread.

Intranasal vaccine stops infection at the source Clinical By Chloe Hava -September 15, 2025 Coronavirus Covid-19 Administered to the nasal mucosa, a spike-based formulation triggers rapid local defences that clear the COVID-19 virus where it enters.

Intranasal vaccine stops infection at the source.

In 2022, Australian researchers secured nearly $1M in grants to develop an intranasal COVID vaccine.

New findings show it blocks the virus in the nose, stopping it from spreading in the body and preventing transmission to others.

YOU. you want original fiction written by a gay autistic transgender freak of a man.

perhaps you crave fantasy slice-of-life vibes AND weird fucked-up body horror AND characters with intense and off-putting mental illnesses and neurodivergences who are still treated as sexy and desirable.
