Every damned anti trans Dem is getting this when they come begging: Stop throwing trans folks under the bus. They are born that way. There are biological variations that result in someone being born trans or intersex. It's not a kink, fetish, or mental illness. They've been with us for millennia. 🏳️‍⚧️

Walking around in the bush with my head down again this morning. I’m absolutely in love with the gills on this mushroom. I think it might be a type of oysterling. 🍄🌿
Looking at the underside of a frilly oyster mushroom. The different lobes overlap, each other kind of like a nudibranch, it’s tan gills form, beautiful, ripping patterns.

After being raped by a man on my hall sophomore year, I couldn’t leave my dorm room for weeks and failed several classes. I had to take out student loans so I could retake those credits. We almost never talk about the financial toll of campus sexual assault on survivors.

huh. the america.gov bot can search FRUS
what was the response memorandum to nssm-64

NSSM 64 (July 8, 1969) asked the Secretary of Defense for a follow-on study of U.S. strategic capabilities.

The response was a three-volume Joint Chiefs of Staff study, submitted to Secretary Laird on November 28, 1969. Volume I is a summary. Volumes II and III cover rationale and analysis. Deputy Secretary Packard later sent the study to Kissinger on March 2, 1970.

FRUS prints Volume I (undated) as the JCS response. I cannot independently verify a single later “response memorandum” beyond that study and Packard’s covering memo.

    NSSM 64 text (FRUS 1969–76, vol. XXXIV, doc. 41)

I bet that at least one of the laureates will have a strong track record of abusing their trainees and running a toxic lab environment and/or a discipline-specific reputation for having a loose grasp of research ethics and a flexible definition of the truth leading to difficulties in replication.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social [Reed cont] Among Dems opposition to GAC bans runs 16% ahead of support for them, 50% to 34% Inds oppose bans by 10%, by 46% to 36%. And among Reps-- the main supporters -- they only run 8% ahead by 50% to 42% oppose. Not exactly a major slam dunk anymore.

Jesus Christ Cornell
What use was it to bring the writer and activist Chanel Miller to campus in the spring just for fraternity brothers to scroll, bored, on their phones as she movingly shared her experience as Emily Doe, the victim of Brock Turner? As I wrote at the time, I was floored and dismayed as I sat in the audience with one of my brilliant undergraduates; we heard Miller’s shattering account of being sexually assaulted by Turner behind a dumpster at Stanford University after a fraternity party. Her talk was riveting, and there was so much to learn from it. And yet many of the male students who hailed predominantly from fraternities — 15 percent of each chapter was required to be in attendance — were so tuned out that Miller commented ruefully: “You know, this has been my hardest gig, because they didn’t turn down the house lights. I’m not sure how you professors do it, because it’s so hard looking out at this sea of mildly disgruntled faces. I mean, I’m sure you’re all very moved, but …,” Miller smiled. The implication being, it didn’t seem like it, from her angle.
