 Pulling Trig is it worth it  (trigger warning this is about throwing up… so if you are a sympathy barfer just stop reading now) Tossing Waffles, Hurl, Drive the Truck, Spew, Blow Chucks, Yak, Puke, Throw up One of my greatest fears going into college was all of the above. I had not thrown up since probably 5th grade from the stomach bug which kept me curled up in the fetal position for a full day.

Lesbian couple in Cape Town, South Africa, where violence against lesbians is off-the-scale Another day, more violent threats by men against lesbians. I had word from a feminist contact in southeastern Brazil about a parliamentarian (I will call her Lorena, a pseudonym) receiving threats of punishment rape (sometimes described inappropriately, as ‘corrective rape’). A man, who claimed to have Lorena’s address sent her a message via social media with the subject, “Rape cures lesbians and I can prove it”.

Items of interest as you contemplate how many old-school sparklers to use on the 4th of July: Noblesville’s Meredith Tippner is expected to visit campus for the second time on Friday. It would be Tippner’s second unofficial visit. The 2025 recruiting target, who holds a scholarship offer from coach Katie Gearlds, came to West Lafayette earlier this month after the Indiana-Kentucky Junior All-Star game. Purdue women's basketball recruiting target: Q&A with Noblesville's Meredith TippnerTippner is expected to interact more with the players on this visit than the first one.

You've never lived in Italy, I take it? I once knew a British Barbie Doll. She was a dancer, singer and actress, however not quite talented enough to gain any traction in the British film or TV or music industry. She emigrated to Italy where, after a couple of years, became a sought after triple-threat and VERY FAMOUS. That was the 80's. Fast forward. My mother has a cable subscription to Rai Italia.

I have on a few occasions had a chicken on my head. When the ladies were a bit younger and liked to perch on my shoulder, they often made the trek up my hair and on top of my head. (Though I always worried over it they never had an accident while up there.) It’s hard not to feel festive with a chicken “hat” consisting of exactly one live chicken. But now that the girls are bigger and have better things to do than sit on me for more than a few seconds at a time, my head is sadly unadorned.

I was scrolling through the internet this week and saw a funny thing. Here it is: The thing I like the most about this request is its efficiency. Instead of something like “Professor X, may we see your cat?” this student has opted for a more direct approach. Syntactically, it calls to mind the ancient trend of Put Shoe On Head.

I posted a little thread on Twitter this past weekend. It got more traction than I expected. I genuinely did not expect this to be a particularly hot take with my mutuals. I certainly am not the first person to poke holes in the “enrollment cliff” myth. But this was new information for many, and my thread soon jumped the guardrails of my social media niche (with all the harassment that entails in the Elon era).

Also known as: Pierre, Petrushka Jump to:- Book One Book One, Part One Pierre has recently returned from abroad, where he has been educated. His rich father is dying in Moscow, but here he, “a child in a toy shop”, looking for a profound political conversation to join. He is stout, bespectacled and evidently unaware of the proper way to conduct oneself at such an engagement. He and the abbé Morio are “talking and listening too eagerly and too naturally”, the worst sort of behaviour at an event such as this.
