I’m in New Orleans and I have some decent womens blazers and a couple business casual dresses etc that don’t fit me anymore. Is there a good place to donate them? Like for local job fair success or debate clubs or internships or something better than problematic national thrifts?

New blog on the problem of the continued proliferation of eugenic ideology in academia, including "national IQ" data. (Part of) the solution is to prioritise research integrity, rather than the acquiring of grants, papers & profit (which current academic structures incentivise)

I’m glad Anthro AAA and CASCA deplatformed the TERFs.
False calls for dehumanizing forms of “debate” should not be entertained because it lends legitimacy to bad actors.

Editor BI call upon our state legislature to ban the sale and manufacture of plastic confetti in the state of #Louisiana
People like to throw confetti in the air. It’s part of how we celebrate important milestones in life. But a few seconds later, the confetti falls to the ground. It becomes litter, and plastic confetti is the worst kind of litter.

It’s good to see the #NewOrleans City Council do the right thing, even for the “wrong” reason.
Should Mardi Gras krewes be allowed to blast Mylar confetti from cannons? No! That’s a terrible idea.

[This is a letter I wrote to the local newspaper, which they did not see fit to publish. So, I'm publishing it myself.]
PossumEveryHourI’m excited for the Duke grad union. It’s nice to see that kind of organizing at an elite Southern private school. I hope it’s making some administrations nervous. Maybe they should start thinking about how to meet their employees’ needs.
