We have had to deal with this. The kiddos are older, now, (late elementary school), but still, if we go to the IL’s, my husband asks to see where the guns are, and ensures that they are secure. If not, then they will be immediately secure, or we leave.

Don’t let them gaslight you! My friend was at a family gathering with her little kids, and her dad got up and his tiny gun fell onto the chair and he didn’t even notice...AT A FUCKING FAMILY BBQ! She will not let him be around her children while armed. It’s a totally legitimate request.

My dad has guns now because he’s a conservative and decided to do it on principle (he had a working replica musket and no bullets when I was growing up that took 20 minutes and skill to load- I know he has at least two more modern guns now).

So instead of sending them to prison like our born and bred rapists, we send them back to their home countries where they will likely be released and free to rape again? This is how MS13 became the biggest, most violelnt gand in the workd. LA gang members convicted of rape, murder, etc were deported back to Central…

Where I went to college, there was a very large undocumented immigrant population from Central America and Mexico. On December 12th, hundreds (not kidding) of children came home from school expecting the celebrations of the Virgen de Guadelupe Saint’s Day only to find their homes empty due to ICE Raids.

I think it is swell how the folks who support these deportations are also the ones who tell me all of our country’s problems are because of the degradation of the “family” unit. Neat.

Spade is a derogatory term for a black person. It’s a bit old-timey, so it falls under the radar when people use it sometimes. This person was being a racist dumbshit.

here I found the infographic of what it takes

As if the thermostats in campus offices actually control anything.

I'm assuming there's a similar one telling male faculty members that it's oh so sexy for them to come into work and remove layers until they get to short sleeves? Because if that university is like any office I've worked in, many women already wear sweaters 9 months a year because the dudes want to crank up the AC as…

The video was produced for SFU by an outside agency, and has lived in obscurity on the university’s youtube channel for two years, nestled in between tedious, one long shot, videos of lectures and other academic wowery. Last week, someone decided to send the link to all faculty and staff as a reminder that Feb 6 is,…

I’m surprised the visionaries who produced this video didn’t take advantage of how “nipply” cold temperatures are with inadequate clothing.

My department is hidden in an attic. We have no windows. You roast during the winter and freeze during the summer no matter your rank. I wear layers to work and hope for moderate temperatures. Last year, we had a student faint from the heat. I have also felt light headed and the hot temperatures have triggered…

As a young female faculty member, I’ll add my voice to the chorus here and say that this video is objectively horrible. You know what? Women in academia have a hard time being taken seriously. We (as well as faculty members of color, and doubly so for women of color) routinely receive worse student evaluations than…

Pity the poor Mr. Sexytits whose only shame was to be born into the wrong family.

“oooh, I could master your thesis”

Her name is Pinkham. Get it?

God, I fucking wish we had control of our own thermostats in our department. The university maintenance crew sets the temperature for the whole building: from October 15th to April 1st, they turn the heat on at the beginning of the week, then turn it off at the end. So Monday morning, it’s like the ice planet Hoth in…

When I teach, I require my students to call me Dr Sexytits. Why ever else would I have earned my Ph.D.?!

Look, we all know saving energy is sexy as fuck, but it’s not the kind of thing you talk about.
