One of the lingering aspects of getting COVID at the end of August is that my stomach is still fucked up. Mask up people if you are traveling or going to be indoors in large groups. This strain is much worse than previous strains

I ALSO grew up in a teasing family and as I matured I realized it was mean spirited and uncomfortable to people with healthy family dynamics. Like, sweetie, people who love you will not call you “crazy bitch”; you just literally cannot regulate your nervous system without conflict

It's very important that none of us share her name. Not even in "awareness" of what has been done to her. Not in sharing images of her doxxing. She's Jane Doe unless *she* chooses not to be. Then, we pursue vengeance against all rapists & their enablers until none of them are fucking left.

And for any of you who do leave, I hope you call your brothers and ask them to do the same. If there’s one thing we know about fraternity men, it’s that they cave to peer pressure. We’ve seen them use it for evil. The least you can do is try to use it for good.

Fraternity men perpetrate sexual violence at a rate three times higher than other college men. The fraternity lobby is one of the most powerful in DC—and they consistently oppose any bill for survivors’ rights.

Men, it’s never too late to leave your fraternity. Membership is lifelong. And these segregationist institutions use your name to uphold the power they abuse. This is what your fellow alums are doing. Do you really want to be associated with that?

The student got excellent writing instruction--they went to an IB school, one of their parents is a professor, and they got through high school without ever using AI tools. But now, they feel they have to abandon all they learned about good writing, to avoid being accused of cheating with AI.

So-called AI detection tools might be an even bigger scurge than AI. I was talking today with a student (a senior), who shared that they now have to spend time "dumbing down" their papers--shortening sentences, removing advanced vocab and punctuation--because otherwise they get flagged as "AI."

One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, ‘Trust the experts,’” Mr. Kennedy said during the Tuesday session.

“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise,” he added. “If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ A.I. may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection, or you need to take it to protect your grandmother, A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

Accessibility awareness and training are good first steps, but they aren't the end. Teams need to create accessibility policies and strategies based on that training and newfound knowledge. Managers must empower people to enforce policies to make sure everyone does their part.

Just to clarify, the call is now for other UC folks and those at other universities to sign on in solidarity with our colleagues who were maligned and to reject the racist associations that were made. I believe the person who made the statement feels there won’t be consequences. Your support helps.

THIS. You can't "a very special episode" to teach about accountability - YOU have to MODEL it YOURSELF. Telling your kids to do better while you engage in bullshit teaches them that people in power get to decide who gets punished & how, while facing zero consequences themselves.
