If you're willing to sell out trans kids for theoretical votes I have to assume you'd sell out anyone for theoretical votes, so, yes, I do think supporting sports bans means you get not a fucking thing from me.

🧪 🦣 Not most important angle, but seeing absolute climate carnage now and wondering if it played out anything like this during the Eemian c. 123,000 years ago, when similar immense warming was experienced by #Neanderthals, with continental-scale upheavals recorded in their DNA dispersal evidence.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back

One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

The Plan of Saint Gall in black and white. I couldn't find one that I thought was good for students to write on, so I made this. I took some liberties with the size of some spaces (to allow for text) and few descriptions, but overall I'm happy with the result.

A plan for the layout of a monastic community that was never built. The document is a copy of the famous Plan of Saint Gall. It shows what buildings would be in a monastic community and the layout of the community.

A graphic of Ursula Vernon's paintings featuring a goat rabbit creature with a golden halo around it. In the first one it is holding a yellow flowered stem and gestures its other arm out to the side. In the second painting it is pulling the skin around its eyes as one leg is bent upwards. The text on the graphic reads "odd spirit prints by Ursula Vernon".

Two more paintings by Ursual. One is of a dog like creature with a leather hat on that covers its eyes, and green electric energy radiates from it. It also radiates from its paws. The second painting is of an owl like creature wearing a necklace and a robe, holding a stick with a feather dangling from it. A yellow halo is behind her head.

The last piece of art from Ursula, featuring a white rabbit creature (wearing a hood, a shirt, gloves, and a skirt) standing in a lush field of bushes and flowers looking up at the moon.
