Gay and transgender Russians are being forced into conversion therapy programs amid an escalating wave of persecution against the country's LGBT community. The Post speaks with two transgender Russians who survived the prison-like conditions. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/1...

In Russia, parents are having gay children abducted to be ‘cured’

Amid severe persecution of LGBTQ+ people in Russia, some parents are paying for forced “conversion” therapy, an abusive practice that is banned in many countries.

People are talking about immigration, emigration and the rest of the fucking thing. It's all fucking crap. We're all human beings, we're all mammals, we're all rocks, plants, rivers. Fucking borders are just such a pain in the fucking arse. Shane MacGowan.

I realise in the great scheme of #disability and #chronicillness annoyances this is minor, but one of the symptoms of #Fibromyalgia for me was that I was always hot so I have invested in bamboo sheets etc. Now post surgery I am constantly freezing. Minor stuff but it's all energy sapping

Am increasingly getting requests to send references I’m writing to the candidate so they can include it with their application. I know it cuts down admin but it’s awful. References are already degraded. How can anyone possibly take seriously a reference that is so open?

the problem with these demands for cold, political rationality from Arabs and Muslims in this moment is that it misses how alienating it feels to them to have political discourse perpetually be *about* you but never meaningfully include you.

CNN just said some of the Palestinians being released in the hostage deal are "young men under 18." Feels like there might be another word for that.

Properly amusing that this welcome surge in immigration has taken place in the aftermath of Brexit and on Priti Patel and Suella Braverman's watch.

University admins claim to be "data-driven" and "run universities like a business," but when study after study finds liberal arts majors get good outcomes, are cheap to run, and are in fact profit centers, admins cut them anyway for ideological reasons. ncnewsline.com/2023/11/16/n...
