Gotchaโ€”letโ€™s dig into that step by step.

1. ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ผ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ต, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. Youโ€™re not just immobileโ€”youโ€™re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—บ. That makes total senseโ€”itโ€™s a natural human impulse, and youโ€™ve been through a lot.

I think on reflection I'm not sure I want to BUT to be clear that's because I fear the camping not the terrifying otherworldly phenomena

According to The Guardian, one of the two studies, the Pathways Trial, will randomly divide some 226
participants between the ages of 10 and 16 into two groups. One will receive puberty blocking medication immediately, while the second will receive the medication after a year.
Participants' quality of life, emotional well-being, and physical development will be compared to those of a third group, which will not receive puberty blockers.

Mike Carney's message to the people: "We lied to you for decades and partook in gross injustices to profit from American hegemony. Please trust that we'll put no one on the menu as we build this new table".

We all knew where the public goo came from we just didn't think Mark Carney would come out with it like this at the World Economic Forum

what really demonstrates the similarity of modern censorship efforts to Sec 28 is that there is absolutely no concern for supporting queer kids. There is no suggestion of how to replace the censored communication & media. Just lifelines being taken away and replaced with silence.

really really important general point about solidarity from cis people - hey cis people! you should refuse to be sexed! you should thwart the application of a bioessentialist sex binary to yourself in practice, not just oppose the application of it to trans people in principle!

i don't know - I have never heard of it - but, on the basis of a skim-read of that article, "geoeconomics" looks more like a policy framework than an academic discipline?

Ah I can answer that because I was working there when there was a queen - we sang "Killer Queen" by Queen

International Political Economy - see e.g. academic.oup.com/edited-volum... (no idea if that book is any good - just linking to it to give you a flavour) - IPE is where a lot of the tax stuff happens btw e.g. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I can't offer a reading list but I would say that, from where I'm standing (i.e. working in a related academic field but not within either discipline), it looks like IR hasn't so much moved with the times as ceded disciplinary ground to IPE

Trans-exclusionary data activism in the UK In the UK, the design and management of sex and gender categories in data โ€“ including census questions, police and health records, and digital ID โ€“ has become a key focus of trans-exclusionary acti...

These tactics โ€“ which mirror the anti-trans politics of the Trump administration โ€“ is about changing something within trans people rather than changing the signage on toilets and changing rooms.

I know this isnโ€™t always readily apparent, but I am in fact an internationally significant historian of the jury system. And Iโ€™ve just published a new article, looking at jury speech in the twentieth century, and what it can tell us about the juryโ€™s historic role as a political institution.
