"UCSD professors wanted money to research telepathy. They turned to Jeffrey Epstein.

‘I don’t have a problem with my lab being funded by Epstein,’ one wrote to another."

"In 2017, Ramachandran and two other UCSD professors, Paul Mills and Deepak Chopra, the famous New Age author, were launching a study of autistic children thought to be savants. They had a particular interest in one provocative claim — that some might have telepathic abilities."

Nope, Academia doesn't have any systemic problems at all, nope.

"Title IX Compliant Botany: A Culturally Responsive Curriculum"

Given the hellscape in the US for at least the last year, it's a relief to see something like this get published. I don't have full access to it, but this and other chapters in the book are just a relief to see people TALKING about, whether I think they're great chapters after I've read them or not.

Nothing like seeing the org that stiffed me for the panel & workshop I organized on ableism and accessibility ask for people's DEI work bona fides when applying for a travel grant.

LAST #PrideMonth thought

the billionaire mafia want a #famine in places like #Texas, to sell #slavery as the only solution; when just issuing more farming visas is the rational one:

thank Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer for selling out #immigration reform for the gay billionaires’ marriage wishlist. guys like Tim Apple didn’t want #CIR even for migrant gay spouses, so they paid for the #SCOTUS decision.

that’s #kyriarchy
