university professors love to create the most fucked up pdf ever known to mankind. it's enrichment for them.

what HAPPENED here

I sent this to a bunch of professor friends and these were my favorite responses:

Cory Booker has been talking in the senate for over 20 hours now

He’s not filibustering. He’s protesting the current administration.

For those of you from outside the US or those of you who didn’t pay attention in government class, in the US senate there’s really no limit to the amount of time a senator can speak. So sometimes if they don’t want a bill to pass they just. Don’t stop talking. To hopefully get past the deadline to vote on a bill. This is called filibustering.

Senator Cory Booker isn’t doing that. He’s disrupting “the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able”. Just in protest. This doesn’t usually happen.

He’s less than 20 minutes away from breaking the record of the longest speech given on the senate floor

Cory Booker has officially broken Strom Thurmond’s record for longest speech on the senate floor and he’s still going

For those of you wondering what he’s been talking about this whole time, his staff wrote down a bunch of stuff for him to read like stories from people across the political spectrum opposed to what the administration is doing. He’s also been telling personal anecdotes about meeting important civil rights leaders and other democratic senators have been pausing him for “questions” but the questions have been as long as a small speech and have both served the purpose of giving him a second to sit down and updating him on the news that he’s been missing while he’s been talking.

He has yielded the floor at 25 hrs and 4 mins. His eyes are so wide they look like they’re going to bug out of his skull so I don’t blame him for stopping. He said to go out and get in some good trouble.

Addition for those unaware: Cory Booker is black. Strom Thurmond set the previous record about 70 years ago in protest of civil rights. Booker spent much of the time I was watching talking about the importance of working together for the people and the idea that it's not "left versus right but right versus wrong."

The new record speech is on the right side of history.

Minor correction: the questions from other Democrats did not allow him to sit down as he must remain standing and at his desk in order to retain the floor. Additionally, I believe the final time was 25 hours and 7 minutes.

Self correction: final time 25 hours 5 minutes.

Apparently at like 3 am he was reading out emails coming in from people who were watching the livestreams.

This is the most satisfying story I've read in a long time

what HAPPENED here

"It's mere routine for imperial powers to strike terrorists oceans away" could it be not though? I think it would be nice if they would not bomb people.

Good news everyone

wake up babe new meme template dropped

perisex people who know next to nothing about us making "intersex educational" content:

"intersex is a medical condition ......... it's a medical condition ....... they have a medical condition .... medical condition ....... not all intersex people are LGBTQIA because it's a medical condition .......... it's a medical condition"

Just to break this down for any confused people:

Yes, a lot of intersex people have unique medical issues and challenges that perisex people do not have.

No, "intersex" is not a medical condition. Intersex is a sociopolitical identity based on the collective experiences of many, many types of people with differing medical needs and challenges.

Yes, being intersex makes you queer. You can opt out of calling yourself queer, but queer is a sociopolitical identity heavy with specific meaning that will always apply to intersex people, whether an individual identifies themselves as queer or not.
