Today's my 10th anniversary at masu.org! It remains a privilege as Chief Policy Officer to get to represent these 15 great universities in Lansing and support their teaching & research. There aren't a ton of out trans women with a C-suite executive title out there besides me yet, but stay tuned.

anyway my takeaway is that I really don't think it's feds, but if feds were trying to infiltrate a queer community and blow it up from the inside, that's what it would look like and we shouldn't do that to ourselves

I'm sorry if I sound like I'm going insane, but this is an excerpt from the actual academic writing I do for my actual respectable university as an actual political scientist in training and I'm just not sure if I can fucking take it anymore.
The resulting coarsening of elite conservative discourse is notable. Twenty years ago, it would have been a scandal if a major defense contractor and Republican donor publicly endorsed the retrograde opinions on gender relations offered by “@cumlasagna1.” Yet Elon Musk’s embrace of “@cumlasagna1” did not even make the headlines on December 15, 2025 as the primary political story of the day was President Trump appearing to take credit for inspiring the assassination of Princess Bride director Rob Reiner and Reiner’s wife due to their liberal activism. (The president’s conclusions may have been premature. Reiner’s son-in-law would later be charged with the crime and police state they believe a personal dispute rather than political disagreement was the primary motive.) All of this has clear implications for who gets to be an expert and how expertise gets to be legitimated in conservative national security discourse. Given his agreement with a profane Garfield themed far-right social media account’s stance on the cognitive capabilities of women, it is unlikely that all else being equal, a female spacepower strategist or aerospace engineer would have her suggestions taken as seriously as one of her male counterparts by the influential Republican defense contractor. It also broadens the range of potential policy outcomes, which in turn has

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.
A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book has been republished. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.
