Hey, so, anybody who's considering polyamory and has put "saves money" in the pro column? Moooove that right over to the cons, scribble out saves, and write "costs" instead. Cohabiting polycules aren't especially common, they're basically never everyone's everyone, and travel/date costs add up.

Yep. 🎯 This… all this! Sure, the magical cheating technology is nifty, I suppose, but you’re still just doing plain ole old timey cheating if you don’t show your work, plagiarize, or make up data — even when your pet robot does it for you.

Yeah, the idea of "just have a *45 minute oral exam for each student* is a bonkers artifact of profs at R1's who have no idea what most of us live like. I teach a 4/4, and my class cap is 23 students. He's proposing *SIXTY-NINE CONTINUOUS HOURS* of oral exams for me to administer. Give me a break.

Why are you trans? Wrong answers only. Well, the boob job surgeon was offering a 2-for-1 deal, and my wife didn't want one, and it seemed silly to let it go to waste...

There was a time when social media was actively useful to me as a writer because I could think out loud and yes we might disagree but aside from batshit right wingers, it was pretty chill But now people are wound up and feeling powerless and taking that out on each other

consent is impossible when you mix career networking and sex together in a social space. the inherent power differentials extant in such an environment muddies the waters of consent to the point of complete opacity. how do you say "no" to someone who has the power to make or break your career?

I want worse sounds, at a lower bitrate, with less polyphony tracked by queerer people, paid more to write less and I'm not kidding.

I'm not gonna quote post that estrangement article doing the rounds cos I ain't giving them the metrics but part of being in queer community is knowing a lot of people who are estranged from family. None of them broke contact for trivial reasons.

I will confess, I'm behind where I wanted to be with my next SGW article. I had student conferences this week, and they're good, but *fifty-one meetings* in a single week, plus normal teaching, is a LOT. Usually I spread them across two weeks, but I wanted my schedule clear. Oh well. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Okay this is a fantastic teardown of the solipsism at the heart of anti-trans positions And also That whole "Sex is binary and cannot be changed" claim that transphobes make *IS* falsifiable, and therefore scientific. And it has been falsified. Many times. Because, among other things, fish.

Transitioning for me felt like I was out of the tutorial stage and actually playing the game. And playing the game is terrifying because now there are stakes.

People get demoralized when transitioning when they discover that beyond the initial identification of "the problem," transitioning itself will not make you happy. What it provides is the POSSIBILITY for happiness by allowing you to more easily participate in romance, community and self-improvement

This is a lot of what scares me, in doing Stained Glass Woman. It's why I try to stick to my lane so much. There's just no room for error out there these days, and I'm not even a prominent trans writer. This stuff scares me.

I’ll mirror what Doc says, I was at my absolute lowest struggling with Dysphoria around my baldness and within a few years of starting HRT my hairline gradually grew back bit by bit. Nowadays you can’t tell that I had lost all the hair on my scalp at all!!! HRT really is magic 💅✨

To all the cis guys out there who are having some really big feelings about hair loss, have you considered ✨Estrogen✨? Emerging research in hair loss is suggesting that estrogen plays a huge role in the long-term health of hair follicles, and can even help reverse hair loss!*

When the poster started estrogen. She had a deeply receding hairline, advanced Norwood 3

The poster after several years of estrogen and hair transplants (which helped a lot, but estrogen recovered a whole lot too).

FAFO aside, his shock is a great distillation of how whiteness as a social construct is built around shattering communal understanding of our interconnected human ecosystem in favor of a mythical individualism How whiteness leaves its adherents defenseless against our shared oppressors: capitalists

I always think about this. Yes, there aren't many trans athletes, but that isn't a joke like "oh well all us dolls are nerdy computer programmer types, not jocks." Put that joke aside and think about why the numbers are so disproportionate. It's because so much is constructed to keep us down.

I didn't post this here last night because I was extremely upset. Hamza Ahmad has been emailing NCTE about me. I feel it is important for people to underscore that I have never met Hamza Ahmad. And I've done nothing to deserve his targeted harassment over the past year and the last two months.

Email from Emily Kirkpatrick:

Donnie,

Mr. Ahmad recently contacted NCTE via a short email alleging, without any support or detail, that you were accused of assault and identity theft. The email also referenced him having a security detail. While NCTE, to the best of our knowledge, currently views these allegations as factually unsubstantiated, we take such communications seriously and have consulted with counsel and other professionals on an appropriate course of action. Of course, safety is our primary concern.

We were in the process of preparing a response to Mr. Ahmad and a communication to you regarding this matter when we received your email below. We want to understand the situation so that appropriate preventative action can be taken if necessary. Would you please provide us with the background regarding your interactions with Mr. Ahmad, including if he is the same person you mentioned in prior conversations, so we can determine next steps?

Thank you,

Emily
