THIS IS FOR MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER, LILLY MCGHEE, WHO SHARECROPPED DAYS ON END ON A NORTH CAROLINA FARM, and never acknowledged the term poverty. For my grandmother, Virginia Singletary, who lived through world wars and riots, whose voice never echoed in rallies, whose feet never walked the corridors of college, who never adhered to the term FEMINIST, but SURVIVED and raised four children in Baltimore, Maryland, for me to be here. This is for my mother, Ms. Carla Singletary, who showered me with unconditional love and optimism, and took me out of as many schools just to get me to the ONE that would lead me on the path to know that I AM CAPABLE, regardless of standardized test statistics, for me to be here.
Thank you to my God, and the God that is within me, for allowing me to shine daily, and granting me a life with no limits.
Thank you to my father, Michael Robinson, the Robinson family, the Singletarys, my sisters, my phenomenal homebase crew, my Hampshire crew, all my beautiful fearless queer and POC and international folks and allies that have traveled with me since first year, and those who I've shared time with and have been blessed with their beauty along the way.
Thank you for being patient with my path, and for allowing me to grow confidently into this black queer woman.
But enough with the shout outs. Let's get real.
We exit Hampshire College in times of immense fear and doubt. The pressure's on for what's next. How can we live through a recession? How can we iron out everything Bush wrinkled up? And YAY for Obama, but he's not all we can depend on. We've spent four years working up to these moments, and some of us are still puzzled at what these concentrations can even translate to, as far as employment. But I'm here to tell y'all, these are not times to fear. These are times to ACT.
The LAST thing we can do in a downturn is be downtrodden. We CANNOT get comfortable. Let that phrase marinate. We've been on a comfy college couch, but the world is waiting for us. The world needs our voices to shout, our hands to fight, our minds to enlighten.
We've spent four years trying to convince every soul on this campus of our individual privileges-white, male, middle/upper class, hetero, able-bodied, U.S. citizen, and the like, and the fact that we each must own this privilege and seek to be allies to those who do not have it. We've had countless conversations and confrontations regarding those who simply just "DON'T GET IT," and how much we want to choke them until they do. But lemme tell y'all, these folks aren't the folks we're after. These aren't the ones we have to convince. Some white person who touches my hair without my permission, tells me "I'm playing for a white audience" when trying to dj at a party, makes a YouTube post about being scammed by "Nigerian scumbags," or starts a campaign for Darfur so they can have a grave story to tell to their friends, surprisingly, aren't the ones we're after. We need to relay the message of who we've grown to be, and the work that we seek to do, to the folks that think since Obama is our president, that racism is officially abolished in this country. Even beyond individual racism, that because he's in office, every systematic and institutional racist and classist issue-under-education in every U.S. city, soaring incarceration rates amongst people of color, the bodies of women of color being seen as disposable, and even worth $1,000 to get their tubes tied, and the continuous silencing of queer voices and bodies-especially queer voices of color-will suddenly disappear.
This nation demands that we complicate how it sees itself. And we cannot sit comfortably, with all of our Hampshire exuberance and angst, while these voices from the mainstream right permeate through the nation's airwaves. We need to burst through the mainstream school of thought that thinks it's perfectly acceptable that low-income black homeowners are shamed and blamed for a foreclosure crisis, and NOT the banks that give the loans. The nation where the voices of the victors dominate how we even see ourselves, our beauty, our worth, and our existence, but never wants to adjust its lens to include us in the grander scheme. And y'all know the victors, cuz we all either benefit, directly or indirectly, from their ideas and values, or suffocate underneath the weight of normalcy. But we are not a normal people. We do not have normal conversations. This nation is far too comfortable without our voices, and would rather dispose of our bodies than ever listen to what we have to say. Truth is, we're scary.
We're made up of folks that would never get media airtime, unless it was for shock value and ratings. We're folks who will try our dearest to tell you our full identity in four paragraphs or less, folks who exist outside of the gender binary, folks who wanna know your pronouns on the first date, folks who speak each of our native languages without avail, folks with self-made tattoos, folks with natural hair...(cuts), folks who wear booty shorts and could care less what you think...folks who understand that we are beautiful just existing in our bodies, and not feeding into the fears that crumble this nation on a daily. But we are also folks that need to take care of ourselves before we, too, crumble underneath the weight of our own identities, and that of our communities.
And on that note, this nation could give a damn about "community." That's evident from the nationwide epidemic of gentrification. I urge y'all to watch where you move, cuz in your hopes to bring Hampshire sunshine or shaking up the soil to a community, you could be participating in the very system that you're striving to speak out against. It's comfortable to live in a neighborhood because it's cheaper, but that's just it: don't get comfortable. This is not even to say that I'm exempt, none of us are-it's about making decisions that, in the long run, will benefit each of us, and not swallow us or keep us isolated from the world that we all exist in. And trust, you don't want deja vu of the Hampshire bubble.
And to my peoples still trying to breathe and maintain sanity within this bubble: Action Awareness week happened for a reason, to preserve the community that we speak so passionately about, and live so passionately in. You showed the school, the Valley, that they cannot deny our force, or our demands. Folks can pretend it didn't happen, wipe it behind their ears, but this movement will forever be woven into Hampshire's fabric, for every student that enters this campus. But please, I urge you, DO NOT GET COMFORTABLE either. Moreover, pleeeease don't get burned out by this place. There is a larger community that awaits, and thirsts to hear your cries, your qualities, and your strengths, and plenty more organizations that could use your work.
Each time we silence ourselves, we downplay our beauty and our intelligence to make other folks feel more comfortable about their racism, homophobia, transphobia, and reinforce the power that they psyche themselves to believe they have over us. This work is exhausting, but challenge yourself. Each time someone sees us, trust they're already thrown for a loop by virtue of walking past them. We've already sent a shock through their systems. Carry that shock a little further.
But also, don't get self-righteous. Hampshire trains us to use "I" statements, and some folks take that advice and run with it. A conversation is only the beginning of the work that we must do. Jargon will not translate to every community, nor will it give undereducated school districts more funding. And to my folks that think the revolution will not be sanitized, conserving water and dumpster diving...thank you for your efforts, but that's not gonna get the stench of garbage out of communities. Local and organic farming won't bring that Whole Foods any closer to the 'hood. Freedom is an endless meeting. Put your hands, your bodies, your minds to work until they hurt. But on the real, have fun while doing it. Laugh a little, y'all! I don't know how many times I've walked past people and the Debby Downer cloud is over their heads heavy. I know Hampshire gets us down at times, but I'm like, "dag, is it even a pleasure to be who we are anymore? Can we have fun in these movements?" The answer is, of course. We are born survivors. We are warriors. We would not come to such a place if we did not think we could be molded, if we did not think we could withstand, if we didn't already have the strength and passion blossoming in our chests. If we did not think we could be uplifted, and align with folks like us, to go forth with our missions.
Let the world see your beauty. Be beautiful in your own skin. Don't stunt your growth and faith in yourself, because you think someone else won't respect you. The world is waiting. You feel that anxiousness in your chest now? Yeah. That's you already feeling uncomfortable. Good. You're ready to roll outta here. And trust me, you won't fall. Whether you comin' from where I'm from, the first places shot down and the last picked up, or paying full tuition, we all made it this far. And life definitely does not end here; no matter what it looks like, this is the beginning. Thank y'all for letting me huff, puff, and blow this house down with you for four years. Shout out to the Class of 2009, I love y'all!

text: JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- A professional wrestler claimed Friday that the state is intruding on her privacy by requiring her to provide proof from her doctor that she is not pregnant within a week of every match. Julie Utley also said pregnancy testing is too expensive for many women to continue participating in the sport. She estimated it would cost her at least $60 a month for tests. The rule took effect in November and is part of state requirements for licensing contact sports such as professional boxing, wrestling and martial arts. Utley, 19, said she has not wrestled since March, when she first became aware of the rule, because she refuses to submit to a pregnancy test. The Missouri Office of Athletics held a hearing Friday but made no decision on whether to change the rule. The office licenses about 900 boxers and wrestlers, about 100 of them women. Misti Preston, a spokeswoman for the Department of Economic Development, which oversees the office, said the change did not result from a particular incident.

Every Sunday we profess our faith in the Nicene creed. And in the creed we say and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; What Scripture is are we referring to in the Creed?
This is a quote from:
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures.
Here is the mysterious thing. Nowhere in the Old Testament does it explicitly say that the Christ would rise on the third day. Christ does though make hints to it during his ministry on earth.
Matthew 12:40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Now there is more going on in the Jonah story than you may have seen before. When Jonah gets swallowed by the fish he says.
Jonah 2:1-2 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish, saying, "I called to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you did hear my voice.
Sheol in the Old Testament is the abode of the dead. So Maybe Jonah died maybe he hadn't. But he certainly compares his situation with death. And the of course three days later he is spit out to continue his mission.
I think also that people saw in Hosea 6: 1, 2 an illusion to the resurrection of Jesus. The context is of course important, Hosea is calling Israel to repentance after it has gone astray and is preparing it for exile to Assyria (Just like Jonah was doing). Here is what Hosea says:
Hosea 6:1-2 "Come, let us return to the LORD; for he has torn, that he may heal us; he has stricken, and he will bind us up. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him.
Now listen to Hosea 11:1 When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. Matthew says that this is a reference to when Jesus went to Egypt and then came back again(Hosea 11:1), but Hosea is saying that this is in reference to Israel. So we see in Jesus the embodiment of Israel, Jesus is the New Israel and Hosea says of Israel (Jesus)" After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him."
Certainly this is a reference to the resurrection of Jesus.
One more reference
Psalm 16:9-10 Therefore my heart is glad, my soul rejoices; my body also dwells secure, 10 For you will not abandon me to Sheol, nor let your faithful servant see the pit.
quoted by Peter in
Acts 2:24 But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it. For David says of him: 'I saw the Lord ever before me, with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed. Therefore my heart has been glad and my tongue has exulted; my flesh, too, will dwell in hope, because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld, nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption. You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.'

In a prospective cohort analysis, women who stopped smoking when they found they were pregnant had babies that were similar in size to those of women who had never smoked, according to Nick Macklon, MD, and colleagues at the University of Southampton in Southampton, England.
A similar effect was observed for head size and gestational age at birth, Macklon reported at the annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Stockholm.
"We can now give couples hard evidence that making the effort to stop smoking in the periconceptional period will be beneficial for their baby," Macklon said in a statement.
The finding comes from an analysis of more than 50,000 pregnancies and births at the University of Southampton medical center between 2002 and 2010, Macklon reported.
Low birthweight is the most common negative outcome of smoking during pregnancy, Macklon and colleagues noted, although other adverse effects are also possible, including prematurity.
For this analysis, the researchers analyzed clinical, lifestyle and socioeconomic data and, in particular, information on smoking habits, he reported, and looked for associations with birthweight, head circumference, and gestational age at birth.
Women in the study were divided into seven groups, according to their smoking status, and analysis showed that:
- 52% of the women said they had never smoked.
- 14.2% had stopped more than a year before the pregnancy.
- 6.8% had stopped during the year before conceiving.
- 8.3% stopped when they had the pregnancy confirmed.
The remaining women smoked during the pregnancy, including 10.9% of the total who reported smoking up to 10 cigarettes a day, 7.2% who smoked from 10 through 20 a day, and 0.8% who smoked more than 20 a day.
In a univariate analysis, the average birthweight of babies born to never-smokers was 3.43 kilograms, or about 7.56 pounds, Macklon reported.
In comparison, women who stopped smoking after they learned they were pregnant had babies that weighed 3.45 kilograms on average.
As well, those who stopped a more than or less than a year before pregnancy had babies whose average birthweight was 3.50 and 3.45 kilograms, respectively.
On the other hand, among the smokers, the average birthweight was 3.24 kilograms in those smoking up to 10 cigarettes day, 3.17 kilograms in those smoke 10 through a day, and 3.11 in women who smoked more than 20 a day, Macklon reported.
After adjusting for such things as gestational age, mother's age, body mass index, and socioeconomic class, the dose-dependent effect remained significant ( P <0.05), he reported.
A similar pattern was seen for head circumference and the risk of prematurity, he added.
"We hope that our research will provide additional encouragement to mothers-to-be to give up cigarettes," Macklon said.
The researchers did not report any external support for the study or any financial conflicts.

010.365 Tucson, Arizona
'Words are deeds' was one of Freud's famous edicts for the power of language. Words can change the substance of a moment, of a momentary affect.
In Tucson, Arizona on Saturday, a 22-year old, Jared Lee Loughner, stepped out and shot six people dead, and left others, including the US Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, critically ill.
There is plenty of talk about Loughner's mental state. He suffered from mental illness, and links are being made to his actions and his heavy drinking and marijuana use, social isolation and an inability to empathise with others.
Loughner also, it emerges, had a grievance with Giffords for not answering a question about grammar. Reported on the Guardian website:
Some, however, are seeking to connect Loughner with a fringe, far-right political thinker who shared the 22-year-old's obsession with grammar and how it supposedly plays a central role in government mind control programmes.
Former friends have recounted that Loughner had a fixation for grammar and words, saying that he challenged Giffords at a previous public meeting with the impenetrable question: "What is government if words have no meaning?"
In one of his video diatribes posted on the internet, he said: "The government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling grammar. You control your English grammar structure."
Some reports have connected this with the arguments of David Wynn Miller – or as he styles himself, Judge David-Wynn: Miller – whose near-impenetrable, capital letter-heavy website expounds the notion that grammar is used to control the populace, and that by inserting colons or hyphens into your name you can escape taxable status by becoming a "prepositional phrase".
Miller appears one of those people for whom the subject has become too excessive a condition of experience.
It is a stark question: What is government if words have no meaning? Another stark question posed on US news channels, one asked by the woman who managed to take the second magazine of bullets from Loughner's hand long enough for him to be overpowered: how can someone hate so much?
Or another question: what kind of grievance can a rejection spur? An unanswered question and a 22-year old man driven to kill.
I found myself caught up in an initial wave of indignant anger at Sarah Palin, the US governor of Alaska, who advocates "don't retreat, reload" as political cant, and published on her website a list of congressmen and women 'in her sights' for political targeting; the symbol she and her campaign team used on the website for the targeting were the crosshairs of a gun target. (Later, I hear on the radio that another political candidate in the recent US election put the initials of his opponent on a gun target, and shot at them.)
On Twitter, I began re-tweeting the links to (and righteous vitriol towards) Sarah Palin's website. A follower notified me that Palin had offered her condolences on Facebook. My response was facetious, short and crude. The next morning, embarrassed, I avoided looking at what response it may have garnered. There was none.
A grievance. We associate grievances with the world of work, of taxation, of unfair actions leading to long but often low-level resentment. For what was Jared Loughner grieving? Perhaps grievances are stronger emotions than capitalist corporate structures have allowed them to be. They are flattened into pancake emotions, stretched thinly over time, without the weight or substance to suffocate, but there, always, heavy and uncomfortable. But perhaps a grievance is a strong emotion, a consuming affect, something that undoes the standard chain of events. Perhaps too many grievances at work have extracted from situations the grief, and left only the resentment.
In David Wynn Miller's Quantum Dictionary is this entry:
Another typical entry is this:
There is no entry for grief, grievance, emotion, hurt, hate, resentment, or any other emotion. Only nouns of things, such as DROGUE (a sea anchor) and VASSALEE (servant).Sometimes words are deeds, and sometimes they are not.
009.365 Truth, Politics and Embarrassment
I am sitting in Vins, a cold and light bar in St Pancras station, where a young French couple are sitting on a low sofa opposite, drinking white wine. He has a Louis Vitton scarf wrapped around his neck and has put one leg up on the other knee, and he is shaking it, but not necessarily impatiently. They kiss. An old couple enter, the man pulling a heavy suitcase on wheels. They cannot decide where to sit. Finally, they move off out of my line of sight, beyond the brick arch that I have found and forced myself into, as it is home to the only plug socket, it seems, in the whole of this multibillion pound hub of coming and going. We are all waiting. For trains, for electricity, for the Eurostar, for time to catch up to where we want it to be.
I haven't bought a drink. My stomach feels drilled out. My throat and eyes are on the edge of another heave. Last night an early this morning: beer followed by red wine followed by white followed by vodka. A leaving drinks in Green Lanes. Dinner in Finsbury Park. A Russian New Year party in Canary Wharf. Trying to fit too much in, literally and figuratively, and it burst out of me, violently, over the veined marble of a friend's penthouse bathroom. From the balcony you can see across the whole of London. There, the Shard. There, the old Naval College at Greenwich that Lauren and I would walk past on our way home from Café Rouge or the cinema, and give grace, be thankful for our night, our walk home. It was if it was all ours, then.
I remember one of the first times I saw Lauren. She was standing at the window in our offices in London Bridge, watching the sunset. She was giving thanks for her life. Two friends had recently died in a car accident. They were barely 20.
Earlier, a scrap of newspaper on the Euston road and a headline, half-caught: 'Happiness is a High Rise'. But I could not enjoy the sunrise this morning, as unadulterated as it was. Nor could I visit an old, old friend who I had promised to see. And I avoided, missed, circumvented the other friends who I was staying with while they were at lunch; before they arrived back home. I snuck out of their flat, and sent a text. Embarrassed it said.
We choose how we feel. Or, at least, we adapt our bodies and motions to accept certain affects. We invite their coming through the actions that best bring them to surface. And they burst through us, they are uncontrolled. Retching. After vigorous massages there can come a healing crisis where toxins are purged from the body, and rather than be relaxed you can fall into a tremendous sickness. For a short while.
Today I have invited embarrassment to burst out from where it has been hiding. Although it is without shame. Perhaps what I mean by we invite their coming through the actions that best bring them to surface is that today I was ready to feel embarrassment in front of people: particularly these people.
How does it feel? It feels as if I am flattened out like dough, and that there is a greater surface of me exposed to the world. That is my embarrassment. But there is no shame. I know that I can be rolled up again, into a ball, my insides hidden again. If there was not this knowledge, the exposure would be unbearable. Like dough rolled too thinly, I would begin to tear.
Perhaps it is something to do with wholeheartedness. That is the term that Brené Brown uses to describe those individuals living a full, compassionate, loved life. It is also the term that emanates from Jeremy Waldron review of lying in politics in the current London Review of Books. It resonates in front of me, inside my legs and arms and spit.
One cannot be wholehearted and lie, deceive. Can one? Perhaps. As Waldron says, drawing on Hannah Arendt's essay 'Truth and Politics':
Maybe too there is a difference in politics between the lies we tell to get things going and to mobilise our supporters, the lies we tell about our own hopes, passions and wholeheartedness, on the one hand, and systematic deception on the other.
In politics and in the political economy of living, of everyday feelings, one can lie and still be wholehearted, if the lie is used to mobilize our thoughts, hopes, passions, friends, is it a wholehearted lie, or, in the belief of Kant and Derrida, does speaking a lie always mean one stops speaking? Speaking from the heart?
The young couple have left. The older couple who could not decide where to sit have been waiting, and now they come and take the sofa. The woman in well dressed. Her black patent leather shoes are exquisite and expensive. She calls the man round. But then she picks up her coat from the sofa and they disappear again. Perhaps they have decided the sofa is too low. Or the seats are too cold, as we are facing the main entrance.
Or perhaps they do not like the idea of being subjected to my observation. Perhaps they too have felt some embarrassment, deep within their legs and gut. Although they do not know why, and will never know, perhaps once the feeling is felt it is held, it requires at some point an invite to emerge, to fling itself out of their old but still able bodies. Perhaps it will dissipate away, like bubbles in champagne. Like time, electricity, in this shelf of land constantly shifting, moving, passing before the glass doors of the bar.
008.365 Not business-as-usual (at #netrootsuk)
The crowd has been promised something else: definitely not business-as-usual. If anyone states the facts about social media ("blogging is good!"; "Twitter is the future!") they are to be shot; or at least thrown out. Perhaps one of these threats is a joke—Sunny Hundal, by default today the name and face of The Left, and chair of the conference says that only one of the panellists is actually funny.
Is it him? No, it's Clifford Singer, the man behind MyDavidCameron.com and FalseEconomy.org, who holds his piece together with wit and laughter. Because they, of course, are not business-as-usual for conference presentations. But it's sharp. Engaging. He wins friends.
The conference is about change. Political action. About the Left (Comrades or not) taking back online space from the Right in the face of cuts deeper, faster and bigger than has ever been faced. Now is not, says Hundal, time for business-as-usual.
Less than 30 minutes later, the #netrootsuk hash tag on Twitter is full of grumblings, frustrations, anger with the speakers. "I thought they said it would be different?" "Why is this woman (Polly Toynbee) going on and on and…"
If you look around the conference hall, you would not know that there was such seething frustration. As one attendee (Laurie Penny) writes "We're listening politely while arbiters of the centre-left mow the grassroots into a neat bourgeois lawn"; someone replies, "I find it ironic @PennyRed is tweeting about the bourgeoisie from an I-Pad, the product for people who have it all".
Left vs. Left. Left vs. Right. Clever banter. Antagonism. Another tweet: "If everyone's Tweeting, is anyone listening?" Not business-as-usual, right?
I sit, numbed a little by shyness. Polly carries on for another fifteen minutes. Fact, facts. More facts. I check my phone. My signal has gone. That at least it good.
You cannot numb the 'bad' emotions without also numbing the 'good'
Brené Brown, a social science researcher at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, has spent a decade researching shame, shame resilience and human connection. One of her key findings is that "You cannot numb the 'bad' emotions without also numbing the 'good'".
I go and sit in Congress Room 1 waiting for the Investigative Journalism and Blogging session. A tall, blonde woman comes and joins me in the back row and says hello. I mouth the word back but there is no sound. We're both early—it doesn't occur to me just yet that she might hate the interstices between organised purpose ('coffee breaks') as much as I do—and we sit, waiting, checking on the schedule, thumbing papers and fiddling with time.
I realise suddenly that if I talk to her I will have, in some unclear way, satisfied what I came for. I lean into her space, the open chair between us where I have built up a pile of books, folders and laptop, and ask her if she had come with an organisation. She points to her name badge. UCU, it says. We're in the same trades union; we are members of the same industry. Affinity.
'I thought if I wrote it there and someone saw it they might start talking to me,' she says.
I explain that I'm a lecturer. But I didn't put that on my badge. I say that I wrote my name as small as possible so no-one would talk to me, and in saying it, I realise it is true. But I say it with a smile, laughing, and I break eye contact, so she cannot fully see what I have exposed. We exchange information. Positions, UCU affiliations. Then she smiles and ties her hair back. I notice and trace the lines of her ear, how the internal curves of the cartilage, covered by skin, are listening, hearing, 'breathing in messages' as Polly Toynbee said earlier (when I had hope for her talk, at the very beginning…)
'If I come to these things and don't talk to anyone, I've the type of personality that gets upset,' says the tall blonde woman.
A truth for a truth. She heard mine, then, and shared hers.
Talk to people you did not know
I'm very good at listening, although I am convinced it is she who has the pretty ears. She tells me about her workplace, the redundancies, the reasons for coming to the conference today. She talks with seriousness. I know I am always serious when I meet people. It's my comfort zone. But she smiles too. By the time the talks begin for the session the numbing shyness has lifted. The belief that I should be somewhere else has gone, too.
Why is this simple but almost impossible act, between people who do not know each other, not the focus of the conference? Why does the conference rely on themes, arguments, agreements, presentations, graphs and keynotes to facilitate (obstruct?) this? Or does everyone already know everyone else?
The session drags on. The speakers don't know how to respectfully keep to time. The chair does not intervene. The speakers read out from PowerPoints we could digest in five minutes online. Questions come, with barely any time left. I need the men's room. I'm frustrated that the 'workshop' has turned into a lecture. One man leaves in disgust. I'm frustrated now, as I wasn't in the earlier session. You cannot numb the 'bad' emotions without also numbing the 'good'. But if you feel the good, you will also feel the bad. It's worth it.
Time runs out, and the tall blonde woman leaves to get her lunch before the next session begins. I watch her go. I grab my things and go, too. No-one will go home upset. We talked to people we did not know.
What could I achieve if I always talked to people I didn't know?

|Nuclear receptor that binds DNA as a monomer to ROR response elements (RORE) containing a single core motif half-site 5'-AGGTCA-3' preceded by a short A-T-rich sequence. Key regulator of embryonic development, cellular differentiation, immunity, circadian rhythm as well as lipid, steroid, xenobiotics and glucose metabolism. Considered to have intrinsic transcriptional activity, have some natural ligands like oxysterols that act as agonists (25-hydroxycholesterol) or inverse agonists (7-oxygenated sterols), enhancing or repressing the transcriptional activity, respectively. Recruits distinct combinations of cofactors to target genes regulatory regions to modulate their transcriptional expression, depending on the tissue, time and promoter contexts. Regulates genes involved in photoreceptor development including OPN1SW, OPN1SM and ARR3 and skeletal muscle development with MYOD1. Required for proper cerebellum development, regulates SHH gene expression, among others, to induce granule cells proliferation as well as expression of genes involved in calcium- mediated signal transduction. Regulates the circadian expression of several clock genes, including CLOCK, ARNTL/BMAL1, NPAS2 and CRY1. Competes with NR1D1 for binding to their shared DNA response element on some clock genes such as ARNTL/BMAL1, CRY1 and NR1D1 itself, resulting in NR1D1-mediated repression or RORA-mediated activation of clock genes expression, leading to the circadian pattern of clock genes expression. Therefore influences the period length and stability of the clock. Regulates genes involved in lipid metabolism such as apolipoproteins APOA1, APOA5, APOC3 and PPARG. In liver, has specific and redundant functions with RORC as positive or negative modulator of expression of genes encoding phase I and phase II proteins involved in the metabolism of lipids, steroids and xenobiotics, such as CYP7B1 and SULT2A1. Induces a rhythmic expression of some of these genes. In addition, interplays functionally with NR1H2 and NR1H3 for the regulation of genes involved in cholesterol metabolism. Also involved in the regulation of hepatic glucose metabolism through the modulation of G6PC and PCK1. In adipose tissue, plays a role as negative regulator of adipocyte differentiation, probably acting through dual mechanisms. May suppress CEBPB-dependent adipogenesis through direct interaction and PPARG-dependent adipogenesis through competition for DNA-binding. Downstream of IL6 and TGFB and synergistically with RORC isoform 2, is implicated in the lineage specification of uncommitted CD4(+) T-helper (T(H)) cells into T(H)17 cells, antagonizing the T(H)1 program. Probably regulates IL17 and IL17F expression on T(H) by binding to the essential enhancer conserved non-coding sequence 2 (CNS2) in the IL17-IL17F locus. Involved in hypoxia signaling by interacting with and activating the transcriptional activity of HIF1A. May inhibit cell growth in response to cellular stress. May exert an anti- inflammatory role by inducing CHUK expression and inhibiting NF- kappa-B signaling.
