When I assign a research paper, it's not because I want an essay I can use to evaluate the student ex post.
It's because I want the student to have the experience of going through the process of all of the above steps, perhaps iteratively, that is necessary to write a good research paper.

"I just think the character makes a better metaphor as a cis man. that way he can be anything! a man, a feminine man, a nonbinary man, a genderfluid man, anything! but if they're a trans woman they're locked into being SOMETHING I can't relate to anymore." who are you, all my pre-transition friends?

"These trans women are privileged because they're able to have cishet male privilege until they're 40"
And then you meet the trans woman and her psyche is what you'd expect from someone who put off necessary medicine for 25-30 years.

Liberal politics exists along the simplest of dimensions. "If the bad guys are mad at a thing it's my new favorite thing"
Man idk how to express how demoralizing it is to see people doing joke support for the Pope as the Catholic Church implements the most draconian trans healthcare ban anywhere in the US. It's a FULL ADULT TRANS HEALTHCARE BAN!!!THEY KEEP BUYING MORE HOSPITALS!!!!!!!
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

everyone, please, they say they "don't want politics in media" the same way they say they "don't want to use pronouns." they are not using the word to mean the word. you can try to point out that there's politics in the media they like/make, but they don't mean "politics" they mean "freaks"

This read on NYPD torturing arrestees has me thinking, inevitably, about those whose stories don't make it into the news.
NYPD abuses people in handcuffs. How do they get away with it?
New York Police Department officers use force on people already restrained, which some experts characterize as “torture”

myth: if you have covid, you’ll know it.
fact: with an infection, it may take testing over several days for your viral load to increase enough to finally give you a positive result from home RATs.
also, about half of infections are asymptomatic (though that doesn’t mean they don’t still damage us)

As COVID-19 cases continue to increase, it's important to know accurate information about COVID-19 in order to protect yourself and others! Get the facts about common myths, and take steps to protect yourself and others.

You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.

Im seeing discussions about consultations with congress, authorizations of force etc. I have to say this transcends any of what I would call sub constitutional technicalities. The president has gone to war with a foreign power and, it seems, kidnapped a foreign head of state on the basis of nothing.

every time I see a headline framing this as being primarily an issue of the student having controversial opinions, and not the student being an asshole with a right wing podcaster mom who wanted to ruin a trans person’s career for the clicks, I age another ten years

Every year I watch Raymond Briggs' The Snowman. Every year it makes me cry. But never more so than this year.
No matter how much you love it, every snowman melts.
Watching this when I was 5 was my first understanding of mortality. 40 years later, I'm still sitting by the melted snow wondering why.

BLUF: Press is talking about "Super Flu" bc this year's dominant strain isn't a great match to the vaccine. Get vax'd anyway (consider the high-dose vax), wear a mask (protects against airborne pathogens), and have a testing + treatment strategy ahead of time because viral replication is exponential
