Weber State professor resigns after "abhorrent" tweets

Weber State University says they are investigating criminal justice professor for tweets he is alleged to have made during protests and civi

He was ordered to resign. 💅🏻

[starrynight0612]

OMG I live around there. I am beyond grateful I chose not to attend Weber's Criminal Justice program.

[starrynight0612]

Guys,he rescinded his resignation and I am physically sick by the amount of support I've seen in my community (I live in Utah) that he is receiving because a man "shouldn't be fired over having an opinion."

"He was just emotional......Haven't you said things in anger....Freedom of speech.....what he said was wrong but you shouldn't be fired over an opinion......Hes a great teacher."

He's a damn criminal justice professor! How is any minority supposed to feel safe going into his class?

I just...Ahhhh! My screams aren't loud enough to convey how angry I get being a BLM supporter in a state that has an extremely small black population outside of Salt Lake City (still really small). I have had to bear so many "All Lives Matter" speeches and pro-police from my husbands family and ugh. My mental health is being taxed.

[massacre-girlypop]

Cannot stress how bad this is. I live in Utah as well and if people are protecting a man like this, we are in an extensively bad position.

[chaos-and-cookies]

[bitronic]

In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America attempts to choke Ultron. This is because he is from the 1930s and doesn’t understand what a robot is.

I want to reiterate that polls have consistently shown 80-85% of Americans are on board with masks and social distancing

Those people are staying the fuck home, to whatever extent possible, which is why our public spaces seem to be full of anti-science jagoffs

There's not actually that many of them, they're just the ones spending the most time outside their houses

[cumaeansibyl]

update: 89% of Americans say they wore a mask when leaving the home in the past week

now that doesn't mean they did it consistently or correctly (you still see the occasional nose sticking out) but it's only 11% of people who are actually saying no to masks

You can still fill up any given public space with only a fraction of that population, and I'm gonna be real curious to see how this weekend plays out, but I want to emphasize that the vast majority of Americans are listening to science and trying to do right by others

personally it helps me a lot because otherwise if I see too many Dipshits Hate Facts headlines I start feeling like the whole country's a death cult and that's no good for the old equilibrium

Oh

[bransrath]

How much does a box of paper weigh?

Oh …

[belle-tane]

I love how all these reblogs from ableds are like “boxes of paper are 20 pounds GOTCHA” as if every single person in a 60-person workplace needs to be able to lift a box of paper.

“What’s that, James? You tore your rotator cuff? Sorry, we have to let you go. What if the printer needed to be refilled and the other 200 people in this building were home sick? It just wouldn’t be fair.”

I deserve more intellectually challenging low-effort justifications for bigotry. Please try harder next time. 1/10.

[deafmic]

hi! i’m a secretary with a lifelong congenital back issue that i had fixed via surgery.

the first thing i want to point out is that the box of paper that @bransrath​ posted is not the weight of the box. the 20 lb in that description is the paper weight, which is the amount of force a piece of paper can take before tearing. i know this because it’s described as copy paper, and copy paper is by default 20 lb weight. so posting that picture as a ‘gotcha’ in response to this post is ignorant at best and intentionally ableist at worst. in reality, that box probably weighs no more than 15 lbs. 

secondly, i have never had to actually pick up one of these boxes ever. and i have to deal with them a lot, given that i’m a secretary who, prior to the pandemic, was printing off 1000+ pages of booklets per week. i’ve never had to pick these up because you can literally just open them, grab a ream of paper, and take it to the printer to load it in. there’s no fucking reason why you would need the whole box. most places, like my office, also store them on or near the ground because they’re heavy, so what i do is a just drag the boxes to their designated corner until they need to be used. 

so “must be able to lift 20 lbs” is a tactic of discrimination, and there’s no excuse for it in office jobs like mine. i can’t actually lift more than 15 lbs and chances are, i’ll never be able to lift more than 20 lbs. i can still do all the duties of my secretary job, though, and it’s really easy to find work arounds for things like heavy boxes of paper. even i can, and my office literally employs 3 people including me. a weight limit is not a reason to deny someone a job. 

[brunhiddensmusings]

a separate issue is when the weight is followed by ‘continuously’ if you get a job where the job description says ‘must be able to lift 50 pounds continuously’ chances are you will BECOME injured on this job and theyre going to try and hide behind ‘it was in the job description’ and pin it on you for failing to lift properly when they saw it okay to use their employees as machinery as forklifts are too slow and they dont want to pay a second employee to team lift

This is why I have this. Even if they can get the lock opened they can’t push the door open. Got it at Lowes for $20.

reblog for that last bit to save a life

[smiling-grouch-deactivated20241]

If you’re like me and have a large gap under your front door (someone could take a stick and just poke the leaning stick style door jam out), I recommend the Addalock. It’s small, perfect for traveling, and this lock is CRAZY. It’s so simple but the door does not move.

You can’t see it from the other side, either. It also cost about $20, and I can’t recommend it enough. Easy to travel with, too! Great for Air BnBs!

[deminat-20]

That’s why I have these on my doors. They get drilled into the side and once its flipped over the door nothing is getting it open. Not the door being unlocked nothing, I’ve unlocked the door and pulled and pushed as hard as I could and it didn’t budge. When I go on a trip this is what I use and when I’m home I leave it on too. No one is getting in here.

[letsgetoutofspace]

Okay I know that it is necessary for many but what do you do if you need medical attention and you’re not able to open the door from the inside? Can the fire department get through these at least?  

[morgrimmoon]

Yes. The fire department can and will break down your door if necessary, it’s one of the reasons they have axes; it’s entirely possible for door frames to melt/expand/seize or otherwise become unopenable during a house fire but the door itself can be hacked down. Or the window. In rare cases, the wall. Firefighters don’t fuck around with collateral damage when lives are at stake.

OWCA deadass said “yo Heinz we’re sending a platypus to kick your ass. his name is Perry xoxo”

[joemerl]

I always assumed that it happened like this:

Perry: (crashes through window)

Doofenshmirz: A platypus?!

Perry: (puts on hat)

Doofenshmirz: A—platypus wearing a fedora?!

(Perry hands Doofenshmirtz a business card. Doofenshmirtz puts on his reading glasses.)

Doofenshmirz: (gasps) PERRY the Platypus!
