Photograph of Bathroom with 3 fully enclosed stalls, plus a store at the end for PWD. At the UM school of education.
It is this fucking simple. Here are four fully enclosed toilet stalls in a bathroom for all genders. If this can be done at @ UM school if Ed, it can be done everywhere.

Also for Chanukah shopping ;-)) get this!
Welcome to being a trans person and having your reasonable coworkers speak this way about you. (Nope it's not an "issue"... it, me)
The things we do to keep our own spirits up, while piously pretending its "for the sake of the children"
Video: grownup and two little ones doing silly dancing on living room floor.
A grown up wearing a colorful cap and a toddler in profile, look at each other, both saying something. Grownup holds two stuffed animals. Behind them is a kid in a multicolor cardigan.
Mimesis with 2 y o and stuffed animals. 4 y o does their own thing.
Guys, if you haven’t had a chance to read Rafe’s “When a Human Gives Birth to a Raven” (open access with UCP) do it! It’s a game-changer! If you don’t have time for the entire book, my review came out this week with AJS Review.
In front of powerpoint project of drawing of image of demon from Incantation bowl, a white besuited person with short brown hair speaks into a mic.
Thanks @monikaamsler.bsky.social for this iconic pic of the wonderful panel in which #SarahIlesJohnston, #JeremyMcInerney, #KarenBritt, #RaananBoustan, #BlakeLeyerle, and #Denisa Hradilová, engaged my book in dialogue with their own work on art, hybrids, monsters, animals, and menageries! 1/x
I've had to go to half caff in the AMs so my vyvanse can do its thing
Wtf!
Lol and oy 😢
Lol 🤦🏻♂️
What I'm saying is: thank you 💜
And now you, of course, in all your queer glory (in all senses), light the sky up for those of us who maybe *have* been defeated by the academy, and who also know as you do, that the academy needs to be burned down, but not in the way that its current attackers think!
But more importantly, I remember that visit, it was one of my first invitation invitations, and I was pretty nervous... when we use the Time Machine to go back in the past, let me know that you a fellow queer are there?
And would find a way to unnecessarily but also very necessarily make queerness part of the story... even at the Shabbat table of my rather conservative parents. 😆.
Oh my gods! 😳😳😳 whaaa!!! I did not know this 🥲. (I did have a blue stripe, a manga-like blue lowlight 😂). But I'm super touched and grateful to you for sharing this. My youngest sibling used to call my ostentatious queerness, my "lesbian toothbrush." I could be talking about brushing my teeth 1/

Did a tiny hike with these lovely people before listening to a fantastic summary of law and policy in today's ever shifting world.
#USPATH feels so good to be in a trans majority space talking about the issues
Am I the only one who pronounces it as Bloo-skee?

Come for the insightful analysis and critique of contemporary investment in a so-called "Western" tradition currently ascendent in right-wing circles, including by specific Jewish groups.

Season 1, Ep 2 of ADERABA: What’s Bad about Being in the Image of God?
Hosts Gilah Kletenik & Rafe Neis unpack how this idea shaped Jewish & Christian thought—its dangers, its hierarchies, and its potential for rethinking human dignity & ecology today.

Season 1, Ep 3 of ADERABA: Why Halakhah is NOT Law
We unpack the history and politics of reducing halakhah to “Jewish law,” its Christian inflections, and its impact on Jewish legal thought today. Heated (and personal!) lawyer–rabbi debate inside.

"With regard to what Rav Yehuda said in praise of one who prolongs his time in the bathroom, the Gemara asks: Is that a virtue? Wasn’t it taught in a baraita: Ten things bring a person to suffer from hemorrhoids: One who eats the leaves of bulrushes, grape leaves, tendrils of grapevines, the palate and tongue of an animal, as well as any other part of the animal which is not smooth and which has protrusions, the spine of a fish, a salty fish that is not fully cooked, and one who drinks wine dregs, and one who wipes himself with lime and clay, the materials from which earthenware is made, and one who wipes himself with a stone with which another person wiped himself. And some say: One who suspends himself too much in the bathroom as well. This proves that prolonging one’s time in the bathroom is harmful."
Jews and stomach problems have apparently been a theme for a while. (from Berakhot 55a)
Lit had a paper called "'Their Backs toward the Temple, and Their Faces toward the East:' The Temple and Toilet Practices in Rabbinic Palestine and Babylonia" 🤣
More self-promotion: a lecture I gave earlier this year about radical forms of democracy in antiquity (and the lessons they might offer us) can now be seen on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iluz... #democracy #anarchism #canpol #antiquity
