Auto-captions having an absolute FIELD DAY with the word "normate" as I try to provide video feedback to my most intrepid, early submitting, students.

I have also used Johanna Hedva's "Sick Woman Theory" in the past and am considering returning to it!

Any of my disability studies folks have a favorite reading to introduce students to chronic illness and/as disability? (I use Susan Wendell's "Unhealthy Disabled" and it is good, but I'm doing a lot of updating this semester.)

I like this notetaking example. it is a good case of how gender works. Notetaking has never been about producing a transcript. It is a bureaucratic skill in the 20th c. organixarion because it is SENSEMAKING. Those women socialized to take notes? They have been doing men’s metacognition for them

Emily! I've just wandered into all this content in the last month or so, it was such a jump scare (in a good way) to have your face pop up on Dropout!

I am unbelievably touched that @dropout.tv titled my @dimension20.dropout.tv Adventuring Academy episode “A Duty of Care”

Dr. Bartlett KNEW she (we) didn't actually want the lectures and gave them to her (us) anyway as punishment

Continuing through Sir Charles Grandison and currently furious with Harriet, who, on finding out about SCG's Italian love drama, haaad to be like "no, before I learn more about the sexy stuff I would like the longest lectures on virtue the world has ever seen" thus inflicting those lectures on US.

re: polls showing that Americans want to keep their employer provided insurance, the key thing to emphasize is that nobody gets to decide that already. fired or switch jobs, or your boss decides to change plans, which can and does happen all the time, poof

your employer can also POOF change your decent insurance to, say, UHC with practically no notice, functionally inflicting a pay cut as well as all the other shit involved in such a move

There is an article I have returned to every July since 2023, always in the midst of having my summers dashed by illness and surgeries. But THIS TIME no one has shingles, top surgery is long done, and no one has tripped over a cat and torn their knee cartilage[1]. I am WRITING this shit.

It turns out I have a slightly wonky cervix, and the first time they were apparently just jamming it through. Basic mitigation measures and a modicum of patience and it really was just "a bit uncomfortable" as they like to promise.

The mirena IUD has been managing my endometriosis symptoms for most of a decade. In the last year or so I was starting to get symptoms again and still put off replacing it because of how horrible my first experience was. I know all too well that this is a common story!

Noah Chaskin @chaskin.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
Thrilled to announce that a combination of drugs, numbing, and having my partner hold my terrified little hand, got me through replacing my IUD after 9 years. The first time should never have been as traumatizing as it was. The measures my current doctor took to make it tolerable were simple

Just picked up a prescription that came to $0.02. Couldn't find a penny, so handed the pharmacist a dime. She took it, put it in the register, then said "...I guess I will just round up your change?" and handed me a different dime.

Just making sure: have we checked the last fourteen minutes for any potential fouls that might disallow that one?

I will be VERY grumpy if that VAR is a deciding factor in the result. Hold onto it, Egypt

Disallowed 2nd goal for a foul all the way down the other end of the pitch like 45 minutes (jk) before the goal was actually scored
