Yeah, I know and knew, hence not following that path. Went for teaching where I did 80 hour weeks for a little more than minimum wage instead. But we’re talking about “perfect” lives here - which for me, would be being a professor of Chinese history or math at a small liberal arts university in a small town where no one gave a shit I was trans.
I really would have liked to have become a history or math professor at a small university. Living close enough to campus to walk, getting to go to my colleagues lectures and learn new things, keeping a dozens of books checked out from the library at the same time…

News@lemmy.world•Trump admin ‘immediately’ stops enforcing LGBT+ prison rape protections: report
28·6 days agoRape in the system is a feature, not a bug.
From a report about trans inmates:
75% of respondents reported at least one instance of sexual violence by Corrections Officers (COs).
This includes: • 48% of respondents who reported violence from a single male CO. • 32% of respondents who reported sexual violence from multiple male COs.
Respondents reported numerous types of sexual assaults by COs : • 68% were touched in a way that felt inappropriately sexual while they were clothed, including 57% who had their chest/breasts touched, 43% who had their genitals grabbed, and 55% who had their bottom grabbed. • 36% were asked to strip search in front of other incarcerated people. • 36% were asked to remove their bra in front of male COs during a strip search. • 27% were forced by a CO to perform oral sex. • 18% had their naked genitalia touched by a CO. • 16% were forced to perform anal sex by a CO. • 20% were forced to perform another sexual act by a CO.
Or the crisis line.
What happens is that they “triage” you, where depending on how you answer their script you get cops at your door and a trip to hell on earth, or you are on hold for 20 minutes to speak with someone who also is reading a script and doesn’t give a rats ass about you.
Maybe states that aren’t Oklahoma have mental hospitals which are preferable to drinking yourself to sleep, but who knows.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK about Project 100,000, when the US conscripted people with mental disabilities to be used as cannon fodder in Vietnam, suffering triple the casualties of other soldiers
17·8 days agoThe Fog of War is a damn good documentary. I watched it in a college class about the Vietnam War, and that class absolutely radicalized me. There was zero reason for the US to be there.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What little things do you do each day that are your small ways of sticking it to the man?
101·9 days agoI used to travel a lot in eastern Oklahoma, and left a lot of stickers at gas stations in the middle of bumble fuck nowhere towns. Probably less smiles and more anger honestly, but fuck them. Also did some on a trip to Missouri, where I’m pretty sure it was illegal for me to piss.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your favorite fake video games?
28·10 days agoThe Giant’s Drink from Ender’s Game always seemed really compelling to me. The emergent gameplay reacted to your state of mind and serving as some sort of arcane test of your mind.
It’s not helping that I just got this ad

They both have a close amount of syllables. A friend gifted me some extraordinary grass and the multiple counts I have made have failed on their account, but both the English and the mandarin have around 18 syllables [CI: 17-19, p<0.05]
“Jive” is an older term for what you might call less offensively call Ebonics or AAVE. Popular in the 80’s, I remember my mom talking about having a computer program that would “translate” things into jive (while also talking about doing black face for Halloween….)
“Jigaboo” is a slur for a black person.

196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•i have actually met someone who worshipped shrek rule btw
13·13 days agoThe Facebook post I got this from had an AI description. I have met some who genuinely had a religious world view based on god being a Shrek made out of flubber (the Trinity manifest in the fact that flubber is solid, liquid, and gas at the same time.)

politics @lemmy.world•Debate sparks after OU student's essay citing Bible gets failing grade
262·13 days agoWhat concerns me is that there is already a massive problem with mental health care in Oklahoma being very religious, and this person being a psychology major. This is not a person who would be a safe practitioner for an LGBT person to turn too - they are showing that they are someone who cannot remain professional and separate their work from their personal religious beliefs.
As an OU alum myself, I also am disappointed with that quality of writing from a junior.

18·14 days agoYeah, the Oklahoman could be covering the multiple deaths that have occurred thanks to Oklahoma child protective services not functioning, or the non functioning mental health system. But nah, this is the fucking hot issue all over Okie Facebook.

don’t want to bother with the readings
write half baked essay I do no research for (which literally says that bullying is not bad “The article discussed peers using teasing as a way to enforce gender norms. I do not necessarily see this as a problem.”)
throw in religious crap so I can make money on the conservative grifter circuit
There’s a more horrifying story that no one talks about that parallels Sodom and Gomorrah - the story of Levite’s concubine.
The parallelism there suggests that the issue is more with hospitality than homosexuality in particular. In this story, it is heterosexual rape that leads to the destruction of a city. Also kinda suggests that the people would have fucked the angels to death, like the poor concubine.












Their far right, including the woman won a Nobel peace prize, are explicitly pro the U.S. attacking Venezuela to overthrow Maduro.
