In 1974, Cornell lecturer Lin Farley began recognizing a pattern in the experiences women shared in her Women and Work course: women were being pushed out of jobs by men’s sexual behavior. Farley coined the term, “sexual harassment.”

2) when calling 811 to book at a public clinic, the script only mentions COVID *once* in the intro of the first menu; 3) was pushed through no less than three menus (I lost track lol) to reach a booking office; and finally 4) the booking office is closed; only open Mon - Fri. Fucking unreal.

Alberta makes it unreasonably difficult to engage with public health. This morning I attempted, unsuccessfully, to book my COVID/flu vaccinations. My experience: 1) cant book vaccinations at public health clinics online, only for-profit pharmacies - want a health clinic? call 811;

I'm trying to locate these original paintings - I didn't write down who had purchased them from me at the time. Purchased in Ottawa about 20 -25 years ago. I'm wondering if anyone has either, could you let me know? Thank you.

AI is an unregulated emergency on every level--academia, art, national security, privacy, the environment, faith in journalism, and on and on and on--and deriding those who are desperately trying to pull the handbrake as we go over the cliff as alarmists will not age well (if we get to age at all).

Honestly - the Nonna who takes the orders at my local pizza place is the goddamn best. She's so no-nonsense and direct in a way that only a very old Italian woman can be - it delights me, especially when she practically hangs up on me at the end of the call. I want her to live forever.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Studies dating back to the 80s have found that men are not just “confused” about consent. They just don’t prioritize consent over things like power, domination, and sexual gratification. Men participating in a gang rape know they don’t have the victim’s consent.

The two places where adult men experience the highest rates of sexual assault are in the military and while incarcerated. That fact alone proves that sexual assault is about power, domination and humiliation. It's about making someone "your bitch" - proving the inherent misogyny involved.

Cornell University treating Gaza protestors more harshly than gang rapists is a real statement of values. It’s almost like violent domination by the powerful is the core belief of leadership.

How we decide to act in the face of these facts *is* political. Vaccines work but we give people the choice not to get vaccinated, that’s a political statement.

"Vaccines work" isn't a political statement. "Immigrants do not increase crime" isn't a political statement. "Climate change is real" isn't a political statement. "Genocide is bad" isn't a political statement. Stop neutralizing the power of facts by framing them as "politics." Reality matters.
