I’m excited to be back in @dcexaminer print magazine with a feature on the global surrogacy industry and the many ethical issues surrounding that. ➡️ washingtonexaminer.com/premium/455668…

@Tthrill3 Congratulations ☺️

@SouthernKeeks Me too.

Got some good resolution today on something I was dreading. Thankful! 😌

@Joewzm44 @CheeseForEvery1 I’m not. Lol.

@SouthernKeeks @CheeseForEvery1 Same, I'm starting to feel old.

I’m turning 40 this summer

Rather apparent now that yesterday’s propaganda effort was specifically meant to pre-empt this almost 300 page multi-year report documenting the extensive evidence of the systemic use of rape and sexual assault on 10/7 (& after for hostages).

I’m an equal-opportunity hater of antisemites on both sides of the aisle. 🥰❤️🫶🏻

For those keeping track, Kristoff's piece: - Was published to pre-empt a detailed report about sexual violence by Hamas, full of actual evidence. - One of his main quoted Israeli sources says Kristoff misrepresented his take. - The article omits context about the background of its sources. - Several of his cited victims have a clear record of significantly changing their story. Kristoff omits any explanation for these changes. - The main source of the most significant abuse claim is a terrorist-tied org that has pushed constant insane conspiracies. A group that denies extensive evidence of widespread sexual violence by Hamas and had an interest in pre-empting the report mentioned in the first point. - The article promotes a central claim from that group about dogs being trained to rape people, which is biologically unlikely and has almost no supporting evidence. Kristoff has since misled followers about the medical evidence to support the possibility. Another primary linked source for the claim is an online grifter known for making stuff up, sexually harassing women, and sending inappropriate photos to minors, while having no firsthand knowledge to support the claim. The NYT fired several people for publishing a Tom Cotton op-ed with a very mainstream view about preventing mob violence, but Kistoff knows there will be zero consequences for any of the above because the NYT consistently adopts the view that journalistic standards don't apply when publishing anti-Israel content.

@SaintVanHalen @Jakers_the_cat Hahaha

@Jakers_the_cat @SouthernKeeks I never understood principals either. They always had a problem when I was smoking im the parking lot in HS.

Because he’s a performative coward who, among other things, holds antisemitic views and mingles with those who spew the same all while acting as if he’s principled.

@SicSemperDeez Haha ☺️ Well, I am an amazing mom and produce wonderful kids 😉

@SouthernKeeks Lock down! Lock down! Lock down! We need more from moms like you. 😎

No. We’re not doing the fearmongering thing. The last time the world shut down, I got pregnant.

*Principles

@BelAves Exactly.

@SouthernKeeks Also a phony. Mr. Debt reduction then turns around and proposes a bill to give Seniors MORE money (Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act). We spend 36% of all fed revenues on the 2nd richest cohort in America already but you know, they vote. So much for principles.

I don't buy Sarah Longwell's "Platner apologized and deserves grace" argument because if the person apologizing for a Nazi tattoo were running as a republican, she would have used his politics as evidence that he wasn't contrite enough to earn that same grace.

This is literally Pizzagate-level stuff from Nicholas and the Times.

There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes, but unfortunately, too many administrators are all about $ and bodies even when a percentage of those they’re pushing or trying to retain shouldn’t be there. A lot of them are far removed from or have no experience with the academic side of things. A higher caliber of students should be the goal over a larger number of students.

@SouthernKeeks Oh I’m agree with nearly all of it. And I didn’t know your husband was a prof, very cool! But the problem that most folks don’t want to understand, especially faculty, is there’s a lot more that goes on behind the curtain that they don’t see, understand, or know how to deal with.

THIS! “While no student should be denied an education or reasonable accommodations due to their identities or disabilities, it is a fallacy that everyone needs to attend a university.” washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-amer…

Yes, you are morally superior to Nick Kristof and his defenders. And the conflict cannot be solved unless we’re clear-eyed about what people really believe and what they are willing to do commentary.org/seth-mandel/th…

@ReaganiteChris The author is both a PhD and adjunct professor. And my husband is a professor and wholeheartedly agrees with the piece.

@SouthernKeeks There’s a lot of good stuff in this article but I’ll also say there’s some stuff that is misunderstood. But some of us have been saying for along time about not every student needs to go to a 4-yr. I say that as a conservative who’s spent my career & studied higher education.

@SouthernKeeks Can I hold your new baby?

@SouthernKeeks And that's a good thing, no?
