Reposted by GifdawgColette Delawalla, PhD @cdelawalla.bsky.social · 03/10/2026THIS! This situation is the perfect instance of WHY PEOPLE DO NOT TRUST HIGHER EDUCATION. Women’s lives are being destroyed, ruined, torn to shreds, but sweep it under the rug and compartmentalize it because the institutions have an agenda. 342637
Gifdawg @nauticalbynature.bsky.social · 29/09/2026People lament the lack of trust the far right has sown against higher education, but those of us who work in it need to contend with the fact that their project was successful because of shit like Cornell threatening to expel protestors while making gang rapists write essays. 100

Gifdawg @nauticalbynature.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Liberals utterly defeated by any fascist crank who declares some some policy in their “destroy everything” strategic plan to be “common sense.” As soon as they do it, liberals fall over themselves to agree with it in their blind panic to be seen as the Sensible Adults in the room. 191

Gifdawg @nauticalbynature.bsky.social · 25/08/2026When I was coming back to my Christian faith, I was lost as to what that could possibly look like as an unapologetic queer uninterested in the hate spewed by my fellow Christians. Truly, Dolly Parton was one person I looked to for a model of the kind of Christian I wanted to be. I’m very grateful. 040

Gifdawg @nauticalbynature.bsky.social · 23/08/2026See the thing about transphobes is it’s honestly not just that they hate trans women, they really don’t like any women at all. 030
Gifdawg @nauticalbynature.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Folks like this have to say some types of reading aren’t actually reading (???) because it’s still socially unacceptable in polite circles to say what they really mean about women and their interests. 0113

Gifdawg @nauticalbynature.bsky.social · 27/05/2026What is so maddening about this to me is it frames the “economy” as something like an entity to be nurtured for its own sake, rather than a sack of measurements acting as a proxy for a society’s material wellbeing. If the society tells you it’s not feeling well, then the economy is not doing well. 120
