Awesome, NJ!

I think I'm due for a visit. Hoping to see some friends there.

in safe spaces

Absolutely, Mikeyboy, I'm all for mutual respect, but part of the problem with these overly-protective political correctness approches is that they treat people like children, who have to be screened and protected from views that might trouble them or cause them to rethink their beliefs or 'identities'. Respect and free debate go hand in hand, I think. Respect isn't about sheltering people, but challenging them in a mature and rational way. That's the kind of stimulating debate that's at risk in the current climate. And the idea that yoga 'belongs' to Hindus, or reggae 'belongs' to Rastafarians, is just ridiculous.

Without trigger warnings

I see that the University of Chicago has informed its incoming students that it's resolutely opposing the dangerous and anti-intellectual trend to providing warnings about potentially offensive speech etc. This is a brave move in the current climate, but let's hope more institutions resist this latest tendency to infantilize students. PS This is unbelievable but true, and recent: According to some, yoga can only be taught (and practised, I guess: I didn't follow the debate closely as I quickly lost interest in it) by practising Hindus. Otherwise we're guilty of 'cultural appropriation'. {Trigger warning about the scare quotes} :)

Wishing you a very happy birthday, someguy!

Happy birthday to you, shymale! Have a great one!

Continuing NJ's theme: And back to my own fixations :)
