Gender studies courses are shutting down across the US. The Epstein files reveal why | Joan Wallach Scott Texas A&M University is the latest school to end women’s and gender studies programs and teaching race. We know why

Eliminating gender studies courses helps to ensure that universities and other institutions will continue to protect men who benefit from the abuse of women and girls, either directly or through their connections to those who exploit girls and women for profit.

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

Today in linguists are not kidding when we say that your knowledge of language includes the ability to understand and create sentences you've never seen before.

The LingComm Grants are back!

These grants started in 2020, as "hey let's help get lingcomm projects going during lockdown"

They've since run in 2022 and 2024, and thanks to generous folks we've always given out more than expected

But they only work if people apply!!! Please share this!!

If you’re wondering how the youth are doing I spent five hour on a university campus today and heard three people announce that they got bangs over the break

Even when everything is bad in the world, I can have a day where I get some work done for my dissertation, go to an appointment to get hormones, and then pole dance in the evening. There's a lot of work to be done and things are under threat but there are still good things.

To all who saw my presentation or are familiar with my gender research, I now have to consider the way being called "little mama" works from a gender perspective and the syntax and my feelings around it lmao. That's how riding public transit is sometimes

Getting out of the touristy part of a city and accidentally ending up in the queerest neighborhood is so healing for my soul.

It's worth mentioning that in the new video you mention that the YouTube demographics don't match up with survey but I don't think YouTube let's you be nonbinary in their demographics
