The topic may seem unrelated from the view of a non-trans person but in reality it is. Have a 1-on-1 talk w/ them to understand their view/needs, see if there are ways to incorporate their insights into lectures. Also, ask yourself why u think this might be unprofessional & look at your motivations

That I don't give a single F what that amoral, insecure, drug-addled tw*t waffle thinks. He isn't brilliant, he takes ideas from brilliant people (most with PhDs) and passes them off as his accomplishments

Reporting ICE activity?
Be CLEAR!

Share facts, not fear.

I like this ICE reporting acronym much better than prior ones: β€œCLEAR.”

Love this! So talented and creative. It’s the soundtrack to the scientific apocalypse we are living in! I follow @ellecordova.bsky.social here but this wasn’t posted. This was from TikTok! Enjoy!

I also joined because of poverty in a way. My family wasn’t necessarily poor but they wouldn’t pay for me to go to college. So I left home via the only method I saw available to me. He’s completely correct on all points here and I wish there were more white vets that spoke out about this. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Judith Butler Among 160 Named in UC Berkeley Files Given to Trump Administration β€œWe don’t have any rights to know the allegation against us,” says Butler amid the crackdown on Palestinian solidarity.

UC Berkeley has provided Trump with the names of at least 160 students, faculty and staff in cases of alleged antisemitism, including philosopher Judith Butler, in response to the administration’s sweeping crackdown on Palestinian solidarity activism.

β€œwellness” culture feeds directly into eugenics.

It perpetuates the idea that disability is a moral failing.

That we can β€œtry harder” our way out of it and if we can’t, we didn’t really β€œwant” to get better.

It makes it easier to punish the sick & poor.

Disability is not a moral failing.

Ohio State bans sidewalk chalking ahead of new school year Some people said the decision is limiting students' freedom of speech.

Keep bending that knee πŸ‘πŸ»

This decision doesn’t protect students, it insults them. It signals that Ohio State values control over courage, and order over open thought. And it makes clear, yet again, that the university has chosen cowardice when boldness is most needed.

The irony, of course, is that universities should be the last places to fear chalk. If chalk drawings can threaten the intellectual life of THE Ohio State University, then perhaps the problem is not the chalk but the institution’s fragility.

Let’s be clear: it's not about clean sidewalks or 'safety'. It’s about compliance. It's about suppression. It’s about teaching students that creative, visible, and benign expression is unwelcome. It’s about telling them to stay quiet and in line, rather than to think, question, or engage.

Dear The Ohio State University,
Great job erasing free expression. Banning chalking, a harmless, temporary, & joyful form of speech, is a remarkable show of misplaced priorities. Sidewalk chalk, beloved by children everywhere, is now treated as too subversive for a major university?

Lingering Legacies: Questioning β€œNecessity” in Intersex Medicalization Published in The American Journal of Bioethics (Vol. 25, No. 7, 2025)

New publication! I wrote an open commentary for AJOB on hauntology + intersex surgeries. Thinking about how old clinical logics haunt current practices, shaping what gets called β€œnecessary” care.

Even when we think we’ve moved on, the ghosts remain.

Today is the International Day for Countering Hate Speech.
Hate speech is harmful. It spreads misinformation, fuels violence, & deepens inequality.

This is a public health issue. The mental, emotional, & social toll is real.

Pause. Fact-check. Educate. Support those targeted. Be louder than hate.
