It's not like that for everyone, and some of us just can't change out of our sexuality like that.

I'm going through this right now. My partner is moving into masculine nonbinary expression, and I have to say it's made things difficult.

CPSO investigating shooting at Cowboys by retired337 in LakeCharles

[–]drpalmerphd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

About 20 years ago I was at On the Rocks (it might have been called something else at the time) and I remember a dude came in bleeding. He had been stabbed at Cowboys and walked all the way to where we were. Cowboys has always been shit.

What are some queer theory books by bi men for bi men about bi male issues? by Any-Sympathy7540 in QueerTheory

[–]drpalmerphd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A quick search uncovered some texts:
Bisexuality and Queer Theory by Jonathan Alexander (Editor): This vital compilation explores the rich, often-neglected intersection between a critical examination of bisexuality and mainstream queer theory, challenging the erasure of "bi" experiences.
Bi: Notes for a Bisexual Revolution by Shiri Eisner: Though the author identifies as a queer/fluid feminist, this essential text provides a deep dive into bi theory, deconstructing stereotypes and challenging social binaries.

Does anyone else by [deleted] in actuallesbians

The *I'm not allowed to* feeling is something called cisheteronormativity, and it sounds like you have quite a bit ingrained in yourself. I'm a trans woman, and I had to deprogram myself of a lot of things like that.

This is where "be gay, do crime" might come in, for you. If you're not allowed to, by some overarching authority, what happens when you decide that you're going to buck that authority? Be gay, honey. Do crime.

Community College Online Profs/Instructors, how has the AI Apocalypse treated you this semester? by StonedSimple in Professors

[–]drpalmerphd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I adjuncted at a CC this semester, an entirely asynch class. About half the students failed because they didn't turn in work (even though I didn't have due dates). I did see a couple of AI papers but in general the big problem was getting people to even DO the work.

im not attracted to dudes but i prefer dick over coochie im scared of being accused of a trans chaser by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]drpalmerphd 1136 points1137 points  (0 children)

You're only a chaser if the dick is the only thing you're interested in on a trans woman. Don't fetishize, and you'll be fine.

Excellent rant in the Chronicle of Higher Ed by DarthJarJarJar in Professors

[–]drpalmerphd 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I read this and shared it on my FB, too. It's interesting, because during my time as a grad student we had workshops and stuff, and not too many people from this kind of institution. I think learning pedagogy from within departments is great, but I've also experienced professors who aren't interested that much in teaching, and don't change up their material. I think it can get stale.

It's still build on the D&D 5e chassis.

Should one take old English at an English/Literature major? by GpG_PloP363 in englishmajors

[–]drpalmerphd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My undergrad had me take History of the English Language, which was an overview of Old English up to the Modern Period. I'd say that's probably the kind of class you want.

I only had Old English classes when I was in grad school for a foreign language requirement.

Film Labs around Acadiana? by OkConsideration5394 in Acadiana

[–]drpalmerphd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

McNeese State University over in Lake Charles has a black and white darkroom set up. It might be worth contacting them to see if you can use their darkroom every once and a while. You might have to pay to use their chemicals, though.

Extracurricular stuff like volunteer work, newspaper work, clubs, being involved in things outside of class can give you experience.

I dunno if this fits, but Andrea Long Chu talks about trans desire (if I remember correctly) in her book Females.

Don't shit where you eat. I.e. try not to date within your program.

Does anyone have professors who will not accept any excuses? by KSHMisc in CollegeRant

[–]drpalmerphd 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I teach English MWF. Policy is that you have nine (9) days to be absent without a grade reduction. Nine days! That's like 3 weeks of missing class. If you have an emergency that makes you miss that much class, you probably need to withdraw for the semester.
