Tell me if I’m wrong here. Many people can have the desire to be pregnant and bear a child without being physiologically able to do so—either for the time being or more permanently, in a way that can currently be addressed medically or in a way that can’t. 1/
Autumn Durald Arkapaw is the first woman to ever win an Academy Award for best cinematography. @charlespulliam.bsky.social talked to her about bringing Sinners to life by focusing on the big picture.

Thank you!
You should read our analysis on how research in facial and gender recognition thinks of gender in very calcified and outright twisted ways. Twisted notions of transness are enabled by what are central values in compsci--performance & accuracy--as we...

In the ongoing wear, exhaustion, detrition--in this era, on this platform, during the university midterm season--I'd like to say that my students continue to be thoughtful, attentive creatures with beautiful smiles.
Doing some cleanup. Refound this little travel sewing kit which I’ve had for most of my life. One of the very few genuinely East German items I have in my Canadian possession. Such a high quality kit!
Observe my suffering.
My colleagues and I are offering a newly approved minor—in writing and communication. So exciting to see advertising for it in the campus wild.
Important reporting from our local student newspaper.

A few more illustrations of the clownishness of Bill Ackman.
“This is not about academic freedom or censorship; this is an issue of academic integrity & information safety.”
“These ‘conferences’ serve the dual purpose of auditions & campaign-adjacent events; their dangerous anti-science narratives are not something academia should be validating by platforming.”
“The lineup at this Hopkins event also features speakers affiliated with right-wing dark money groups tied to Charles Koch, major donor to Hopkins ($1.3mill 2021-2022) & Stanford ($3.3mill 2020-2022). The Great Barrington Declaration…was itself on the edges of the Koch Network.”
“In June, Atlas & Bhattacharya spoke at an event at the New College of Florida titled ‘Reversing the Ideological Capture of Universities & Institutions.’ New College is a public liberal arts school overhauled by the far-right state government to be the ‘Hillsdale of the South.’”
“Atlas & Bhattacharya are founding fellows of the Academy for Science & Freedom at right-wing Hillsdale College—a sponsor of the Heritage Foundation’s infamous Project 2025, an extremist policy strategy for a second Trump presidency and markedly anti-public health.”
“This forum, notably NOT being conducted with the prestigious Johns Hopkins medical or public health schools, reveals a concerning trend: Right-wing business interests are working to infiltrate academia in order to legitimize anti-public health...
I don’t know, Damian. These terms continue to be quite meaningful even though you personally dislike them being used. And the story you say doesn’t interest anyone? It’s in all the news.
The rooster is as he was made.
In his world, the rooster is a predator. With a peer setting that must be activated within minutes of meeting him. As soon as rooster terminator lands—chick-naked, before he goes killing to dress himself in shimmering feathers—you must face him like a peer and find the switch.
The rooster is back at his desk. He’s opening incoming tickets, forwarding tasks, completing some of them himself, typing notes into files. As he clicks and wiggles his mouse, he quietly talks to himself.
Made me laugh. It is now sold as “breaking” news by some busybodies that Jeff Walz once typed this about Tim Walz:
"Haven't spoke to him in 8 years. I'm 100% opposed to all his ideology. My family wasn't given any notice that he was selected and denied security the days after."
He is as he was made.
