Post 156950 by shotgunbooty deleted for the following reason: She doesn't seem to have anything new to say on the events from last fall and her book doesn't seem to be about that; we had several lengthy threads about her/this and I don't know what's going to be helped by revisiting Christakis still not understanding why the students were protesting. -- LobsterMitten

Taste Sensation that's Not Sweeping the Nation
Post 156885 by valkane deleted for the following reason: Sorry for the delayed delete - having looked more closely at the links, this is actually pretty thin with basically one news article to go on. If this is a real thing, it'd probably go better with more in-depth resources for folks to talk about beyond the kind of news-of-the-weird angle. -- LobsterMitten

Trans woman murdered in Austin Texas
Post 156718 by Annika Cicada deleted for the following reason: Hey, this is a shitty thing that happened, but we've gotten a lot of feedback that posting a ton of shitty things that happen to trans people is really wearing to a lot of trans folks and they'd prefer we didn't, and I don't see this thread being productive of anything but a lot of deletions. -- restless_nomad
