LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The response so far has been “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas” 130
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 09/10/2026You ban them and then you root out frat behavior wherever you find it. On campus and off. 130
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 09/10/2026This is abhorrent that the Chronicle would stand behind these conduct practices. Writing an essay should really never be even part of a punishment for rape. All students found responsible for any sexual violence should be expelled. For the safety of other students. 000
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I think we shouldn’t say “OpenAI agents” did something. We should say OpenAI did it. Because they did. We don’t blame computers for things. We don’t blame software. We blame the people who made them. 000
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 05/10/2026If you’re not a Vermonter, know that this guy runs for everything. You pick up a republican ballot and he’s on like almost every office. He is basically a statewide joke at this point. Also he looks like the monopoly man. 010
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I also would just have him wear regular sweatpants to bed a lot 000
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I always just size way up for PJs to avoid this- like 3 or 4 sizes ahead. The snugness seems so unnecessary and uncomfortable. I don’t need them to be that snug, I don’t think there’s any reasonable way he’d catch on fire because his pajamas were not snug enough. 100
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Hey now, listen. It’s Columbia university. They take their assholery very seriously. 110
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Blind people have other pre-existing ways to navigate that don’t infringe on other people’s right to privacy 0390
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I think you have an abnormal amount of fear in your life and I think you need to actually talk to someone about that. And this is totally separate from asking men to be more involved in bettering themselves and the planet. 100
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 30/09/2026But I also want to emphasize, the point I was making was that men are not active in any sort of activism or volunteer endeavors compared to women. For any cause. You took it in this direction. 000
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 30/09/2026That is a weird fear fantasy that you apparently have, not reality. You’re not going to get murdered if you tell someone you’re not okay with them making sexist jokes around you. You might be socially rejected by that person but you’re not going to get murdered. Be serious. 200
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 30/09/2026We’re not talking about physically putting yourself in the middle of a violent rape to stop it, thats not generally how rape happens anyway. We’reasking you to call out men who perpetuate rape culture via jokes, comments, cat calls, etc. if u r not brave enough for that idk how you leave your house 100
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Which of those are you? Someone who is offended by the true fact that men are not as active in activism, volunteering, or civic engagement than women, and felt the need to “not all men” that? Or a “woke man trying to score points”? 000
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Oh here we are, a man butts in with a “not all men” gee how helpful 100
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I want you to call it out whenever you see it, from anyone. I guarantee you that you’ve seen and heard gross shit done & said by men in your life. Make it clear it’s not okay. Act proactively to fight rape culture. Maybe get involved in helping people affected by these issues. 100
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 30/09/2026No one wants you to “beat up bad guys”, we are asking for you to be proactively curious about the experiences of people who aren’t you, and then act to make things better. Women don’t have to be told to do this, we already understand. Why don’t men? 100
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Don’t know about what, the concept of activism? The idea of civic engagement, of working for a cause that benefits more than just themselves? Men know. They just would rather let others do it because they don’t feel it affects them personally. That’s part of the rot at the heart of our society. 100
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It drives me absolutely nuts how many more women than men I see being involved in any kind of activism or even just civic engagement activity. Men need to get their shit together and stand the fuck up, and there’s clearly nothing women can do to make them do that. 42058
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 26/08/2026“Neutral” The right is trying to reclaim Dolly’s legacy as theirs, when it’s very clear she was never on their side. She stood for the dignity and advancement of all people, even (and especially) the people the right wants to control or disappear. 070
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I mean it seemed like most races aside from just a few were uncontested, so I don’t think this is very surprising 000
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 11/08/2026This is an extremely embarrassing thing to admit and yet they don’t seem to realize that at all 010
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 07/08/2026For sure. They’re getting that arancini frozen from somewhere 010
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Yes 100%. There are efforts to make that happen in many towns including mine, but construction is also very expensive and there’s not a lot of people to do the labor. So it’s slow going 110
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 06/08/2026That makes sense. For us it feels like 2020-2023 was the time for the crazy jump in prices here. After that it’s just sort of stayed high 020
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Yeah in VT at least, but I’m guessing similar to elsewhere in the region, we really need more housing, and we have a high percentage of vacation homes that also takes up a good amount of our housing stock. It’s expensive to buy a house here for sure 120
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Our housing prices are still quite high for sure. I’d guess you’re right. 120
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Maybe we have none that are underwater? Or maybe they just don’t have data for us? 110
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 06/08/2026They don’t care about us at all, and they like to use us as a cudgel for shaming people who have abortions 010
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I await the inevitable failure and bankruptcy of this project (led by a complete fool) within probably the next 3-5 years, which will undoubtedly leave Poultney and the campus even worse off. 031
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I’m interested to see the “historically accurate” cyclops. Or how the “historically accurate” Circe actually turned Odysseus’s men into “historically accurate” pigs. You know because the story of Odysseus is sooo historically accurate. 050
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 21/07/2026EDLs are kind of just special driver’s licenses that allow for driving between Canada and the US (+ I think Mexico + Caribbean) w/o bringing your passport. It’s geared towards Americans who live near the border and cross frequently. If you’ve got a passport and don’t need to do that, you’re good. 010
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Real ID (the gold star means Real ID) is just a tsa compliant ID but is not proof of US citizenship. Noncitizens can also get Real IDs. It’s different than an EDL. 232
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 20/07/2026That’s just a Real ID, everyone gets the star on a real ID- it doesn’t indicate citizenship. Real IDs are what are needed to fly domestically these days. Enhanced DLs have little US flags in the corner and are only issued to US citizens. Only a few border states offer them. 001
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 20/07/2026That doesn’t make your FL drivers license proof of your US citizenship. Non US citizens can also get a FL drivers license. Enhanced drivers licenses are different, they do indicate your citizenship. 122

LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Most of Vermont is rural, but only a few small areas voted for trump- the rest of our rural areas (and cities of course) voted for Harris. 020
LinVT @ehlauren.bsky.social · 14/07/2026I think it is, our air quality just over the border in VT is poor also 110
