The Musk Presidency wants YOU to report on anyone who teaches “divisive ideologies and indoctrination” and “illegal discriminatory practices at institutions of learning.”

They even made a Nazi-style propaganda URL for it:

https://enddei.ed.gov/

End DEI? Get it?

They’ve provided a form you can use to upload supporting documents. Yes. It allows uploads!!!!! Did you see all those exclamation points? The bold font? I can’t help it. I’m excited!!!!! There’s no known file size limit, so post away.

But don’t send dick pics (or other porn for that matter). Remember, there are probably many innocent bystanders at the Education Department who have worked there awhile and are simply hanging on to their jobs in the face of Musk’s slash and burn tactics. So seriously, just don’t do that. Just makes their day even worse.

The people being forced to deal with the deluge of responses aren’t guilty of anything, so be as gentle as possible whilst demonstrating some creative wickedness.

If you are concerned about Musk’s lunatic teenage hacker boys tracking your email, you can use this temporary email service:

https://temp-mail.org/

It allows you to send emails from a temporary email address that disappears when you leave the website. But I don’t think you can do file uploads with it.

You can also create a new email account at ProtonMail or OnMail to create a temporary account, but I haven’t tried using them. If you’re familiar with them or know of other email alternatives, please leave a comment. Thanks!

Finally, keep in mind that the form is “sticky.” This means that when you hit the Back button, the form retains the info you filled in. You can (and should) resubmit the form as often as you wish (to make sure they receive it, of course).

Here are some ideas of the kinds of reports you can make, courtesy of BlueSky users:‬

“During the winter I cannot tell the boys from the girls at the bus stop because of the heavy winter coats. I am concerned that this may lead to gender identity issues.”

Ruminato Comment: Also, all babies look the same to many of us. Report all babies.


There's definitely some DEI going down at West Beverly Hills High in 90210.

I wonder if they would like a 3GB file of dense, indecipherable primate neuroimaging data? I wonder if they would like many, many copies of it?

‪Jackdawman‬ ‪@jackdawman.bsky.social‬

Ruminato Comment: It has been tested by users on approximately 1GB with no issues.


‪Erin Nitz‬, ‪@erinnitz.bsky.social‬

Ruminato Comment: Evergreen


The top of the photo has text that reads "Please describe in as much detail as possible the discriminatory practice taking place:" Underneath is a box where the user can write. I have written:

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans? Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, Vaporeon are an average of 3”03’ tall and 63.9 pounds, this means they’re large enough to be able handle human dicks, and with their impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can be rough with one. Due to their mostly water based biology, there’s no doubt in my mind that an aroused Vaporeon would be incredibly wet, so wet that you could easily have sex with one for hours without getting sore. They can also learn the moves Attract, Baby-Doll Eyes, Captivate, Charm, and Tail Whip, along with not having fur to hide nipples, so it’d be incredibly easy for one to get you in the mood. With their abilities Water Absorb and Hydration, they can easily recover from fatigue with enough water. No other Pokémon comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you pull out enough, you can make your Vaporeon turn white. Vaporeon is literally built for human dick. Ungodly defense stat+high HP pool+Acid Armor means it can take cock all day, all shapes and sizes and still come for more

Ruminato comment: Okay, Tap, we get it. Thanks, and have a good day.


Professor Snape is attractive in a nontraditional way that confuses my nethers, and my nethers do not appreciate being confused.

‪Ryan Cordell‬ ‪@laststarfighter.bsky.social

Ruminato Comment: Vince McMahon is the husband of Linda McMahon. the mad king’s Education Secretary nominee.


the nice thing is once you submit the form you can go back and submit it again because it keeps all the fields filled out. I just submit a few thousand lines of “fuckyoufuckyou” 20 times. I should automate this

‪arcadus (they/them)‬ ‪@imdmingyour.mom‬

Ruminato Comment: Borderline. Remember, the people who are forced to review this stuff most likely aren’t happy about it, either.


In their tweet about this submission form, they include a screenshot of the form with alt text.

Someone clearly didn't get the memo that using alt text is an example of the E in DEI.

‪Clifton will be around during GDC‬, ‪@cliftonb.bsky.social‬

Ruminato Comment: In other words, report the form itself.


Did my duty and attached this

‪travelitely.bsky.social‬, ‪@travelitely.bsky.social‬

Ruminato Comment: Almost evergreen.


I sent them the complete text of Little Men.

Based on the teachings of Transcendentalist cults, Plumfield teaches environmentalism, feminism, and other progressive ideas. Though it advertises itself as a boys' school, it admits girls and treats them just like the boys, confusing students with radical gender ideology. The school's motto, "Help One Another," is the very opposite of the American values modeled by the Trump administration. No wonder at least one alumnus has grown up to commit murder.

It’s past midnight so I’m not at full capacity for memelording but somehow the first thing I thought of is really fucking fitting

In the text box of the DEI watchlist reads “war and hate on planet Venus
Suck my blood and kill my penis
Everybody wants to rule the world”

‪Woosh or Valley,‬ ‪@wooshorvalley.bsky.social‬

Ruminato comment: For you oldsters, yes, memelording is a thing. I am sorry. And, ya, borderline. The hell with it. At this point, those poor employees are now used to this kind of stuff.

Hopefully, you now have some ideas. Restack, add comments, and let’s see America’s creativity flourish.

Good grief. This is all so foolish and despicable. I have no words right now. I'm saving my anger for my next call to my congressman. 🤦‍♀️
