Yeah that jumped out at me too ... Yale doesn't even have athletic scholarships, I'm pretty sure their formal aid structure is entirely need-based.

Everything is gender except gender which is class

Seriously. At that age we're supposed to be shedding estrogen and ceasing to give a single fuck!! That's literally what our hormones are telling us to do after we come out of the 20+ year oxytocin fog!!

"Femininity" is such utter bullshit. Just throw the whole concept out.

Oh, I can 100% see how it works equivalently for cis men. I have not yet given up hope of finding a partner who's as grossed out by Andrew Tate as I am by Kristi Noem.

This.

My gender is Dorothy L. Sayers ("not very feminine, but intensely female") and/or Jo Walton ("this is a perfectly valid way to be a woman"). I absolutely refuse either to perform MAGA womanhood, or to cede womanhood to them.

Guess what, buttercup, life's not fair, and sports aren't either. My genes are so shitty my body's trying to kill me, so I can't play sporys, but I'm not out here whining. Life's not fair, bodies differ, "women" is a social construct, and if she's cis, she ALWAYS gets to ball, DSD or not, fuck you.

That poem was posted on the wall of my seventh-grade English classroom and I read it over and over

I know all the reasons to be disappointed with him in hindsight, but bloody hell, this man was so much more than we deserved

I own a tiny electric car and get all my energy, including my heat, from hydroelectricity. Bring it on.

(Ironically, the element of my life that uses the most fossil fuel is ... public transit.)

Highly amused to see this skeet getting a bunch of new engagement from Alison linking to the thread in today's column

More like 30 years, I remember the beginning of it when I was in high school!

Great, now I'm gonna have to figure out how to get fair market value for this batch of drugs without getting caught.

I love that last night at my Walk In Love course several people, talking ordination and let vocation, were like “ok but we really should be thinking more about whether there are some jobs Christians *can’t* have” (and most were mil/leo adjacent that came up).

They derived this from 1st principles.

I know. My point is that AI is hyped as being able to somehow tell us what's correct, and it's utter nonsense on even the most basic level.

Just saw an ad for AI that promised "less tasks, more work" so just a reminder that even really really basic grammar is completely beyond the capacity of these "tools"

I would demand satisfaction for this insult to the shades of my ancestors, but my ancestors left, so
