Yesterday, an org we ally with had an overflow of holiday donations, so me and a homie took on some of that work. It was fucking miserable. I'm so glad our collective only takes donations from friends and trusted folks, because:

@clairezagorski Would you like to get addicted to opiates with zero of the benefits of opiates? Try tramadol!

@DorinneKondo @Afromanticist @TAPPhD @FayeGinsburg @CHartblay We had someone from the ODEI insist we change the name of our staff affinity group from having the word "disability" to "accessibility" as part of the name -- not sure, but this seems to have similar emergy

I was notified by the curriculum committee at USC that my undergraduate syllabus for a new course in Disability Studies (entitled ‘Disability, Embodiment, and an Ethics of Care’) needed to delete ‘disability’ from the title, because it “was not about disability.”

This is the future the atheists want!

I’m so sad to see homosaurus targeted here because of the friends there who will receive violent threats because of this, but it’s not surprising that the project — an essential piece of library and public health infrastructure — would be the recipient of this shit.

@kim_gannon_ Oh my God.

Tell me you don’t consult people with lived experience in your addiction scholarship without telling me that you don’t consult people with lived experience in your addiction scholarship 😂😂

@Ranting_Trans omg this is the best thing I have read today

So 6 months after my vaginoplasty and I'm getting a little worried about my results - does anyone know when the teeth are supposed to grow in? Should I contact my surgeon about this or...?

@joshshepperd My serious answers are "Thanks, and let me know your thoughts" or "Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions" depending on who it is to and why, but my favorite answers so far are "Your mom" and "best, bath, and bodyworks"

While spoons are not explicitly mentioned in the book of Esther—nor indeed, in the entire Hebrew Bible—for the attentive reader, their hidden, providential presence can be discerned at work behind the scenes.

@CourtneyEJacobs What makes this even funnier is our university doesn't even have an MLIS program. So I have to imagine the faculty person was just like "(assignment version of) wander about until you find a library office where people are working and ask them what they do for nondescript reason"

@CourtneyEJacobs At first we thought they were just lost, but the fact a lot of them seem actually interested in what we are saying (at least at first) gave it away. 2/2.

@CourtneyEJacobs We think someone gave an assignment something along the lines of "ask what the technical services offices is" cos we keep having confused students wander in asking what we do. 1/2

Check out this fun list of Jewish horror movies that @trickstertao put together. Really different movies in terms of how Jews and Jewish lore is presented. I'll fess up, I haven't seen most of these and really need to. Anyone have some good ones to add to the list?
