No sé cómo iniciar, no sé cómo comenzar de cero, me siento vacía, como quisiera explicarle al mundo que solo me quiero perder por unos días, quiero desaparecer de aquí, no quiero existir, como le explico a mi familia que me doy por vencida, ( que estaba saliendo pero ahora solo siento que me estoy hundiendo) como les explico a mis seres queridos que renuncio a esto, que realmente ya no tengo la fortaleza para seguir aquí con ellos, que cada vez que intento levantarme viene una cosa tras otra y ya no puedo aguantarlo, como les explico que hoy no tengo ganas de seguir viviendo

Recent headlines about UCLA School of Medicine suggest that the institution has lost its focus. Instead of brushing up on organic chemistry, its students were subjected to lessons on “Indigenous womxn” and “two-spirits.” Future doctors had to take a class on “structural racism” and were led in a “Free Palestine” chant by a Hamas-praising guest speaker. The school made plans to segregate students by race for courses on left-wing ideology, and two of its psychiatry residents championed “revolutionary suicide.” 

Why has the school charted this course? One reason is its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology. UCLA has a DEI program called “Cultural North Star,” and at the medical school, it is led by Natalie J. Perry, whose official title is Cultural North Star Lead. Her UCLA biography says that her job is to “embed our aspirational Cultural North Stars [sic] value [sic] in our organizational DNA.” UCLA honored Perry last month for teaching students to “do what’s right,” saying her “empathy and radical listening” are to thank for her “success as an educator and a leader.”

According to a Daily Wire and City Journal investigation, however, Perry’s academic career is based on fraud. Perry published her Ph.D. dissertation in 2014 at the University of Virginia about college diversity programs. An analysis of the paper found it ridden with the worst sort of plagiarism, reproducing large swaths of text directly from several other authors, without proper citations. The scale of the plagiarism suggests that Perry lacks both ethics and competence and raises questions about academic programs that push DEI.

Perry’s dissertation lifted passages from ten other papers. In key portions of her text, she copied almost every paragraph from other sources without attribution. She fails even to mention at least four of the ten plagiarized papers anywhere in her dissertation.

Let’s review some examples.

The first three pages of Perry’s paper, “Faculty Perceptions of Diversity at a Highly Selective Research-Intensive University,” suggest that she did not even bother to read beyond the first page of papers from which she stole. Her dissertation’s second sentence reproduces verbatim part of a sentence on the first page of a paper by Adrianna Kezar, Peter Eckel, Melissa Contreras-McGavin, and Stephen John Quaye. Her third paragraph, without citation, lifts more than 100 words from the first page of a paper by Angela Locks, Sylvia Hurtado, Nicholas Bowman, and Leticia Oseguera.

Each colored portion of the below text was taken from a different author:

In some cases when Perry did include parenthetical citations, she wasn’t citing the papers whose text she had lifted. Instead, she simply reproduced the citations included in those stolen excerpts.

Take the above paragraph, which ends with “(Bernard, 2005; Bollag, 2005; Munoz, Jasis, Young, and McLaren, 2004; Williams, Nakashima, Kich, and Reginald, 1996).” Perry was not synthesizing those authors. Instead, the citation was part of Adalberto Aguirre and Ruben Martinez’s paper, from which she apparently copied and pasted, without attribution.

A core part of Perry’s dissertation involved summarizing work done by professors Robert Quinn and John Rohrbaugh. Instead of citing them directly, however, Perry cribbed summaries from other academics. Perry copied and pasted almost all of a nearly thousand-word passage from a paper by Chad Hartnell, Amy Yi Ou, and Angelo Kinicki, without quoting the authors.

Consider, for example, the following excerpt from Perry’s dissertation. The italicized portions were taken verbatim from Hartnell, Yi Ou, and Kinicki’s paper:

The CVF is widely used in organizational literature (Ostroff et al., 2003). Measures of organizational culture that directly or indirectly assess the CVF have been administered in over 10,000 organizations globally (Cameron et al., 2006) within the following academic disciplines: management, marketing, supply-chain management, accounting, social services, hospitality, and health care. Further, the reliability and content validity of Cameron and Ettington's (1988) measure of the CVF has been empirically supported in studies utilizing multitrait-multimethod analysis (Quinn & Spreitzer, 1991), multidimensional scaling (Howard, 1998), and structural equation modeling (Kalliath, Bluedorn, & Gillespie, 1999). Surprisingly, prior to 2011, there had been limited assessment of the theoretical foundation of the CVF despite its reported content validity and widespread use in research and practice.

The rest of Perry’s analysis of Quinn and Rohrbaugh’s work is largely copied, unquoted and unattributed, from a 2003 paper by John Smart. Below are pages 13 and 14 of Perry’s paper, outlining its “Theoretical Framework,” with the italicized text coming directly from Smart:

To develop this theory Quinn and Rohrbaugh (1983) asked a panel of distinguished organizational theorists to evaluate the similarity between every possible pair of 39 indexes of organizational effectiveness derived from Campbell’s (1977) exhaustive synthesis of criteria used to assess the performance of organizations. The results of this analysis revealed three basic dimensions underlying the judgments of respondents. The first dimension is organizational focus, which distinguishes organizations that have an internal emphasis on the development of people from those that have an external focus on the development of the organization. The second dimension is organizational structure, which distinguishes between organizations that have an emphasis on stability and control from those that have an emphasis on flexibility and innovation. The third dimension is organizational means and ends, which distinguish between organizations that emphasize processes such as planning and establishing goals from those that emphasize resulting outcomes such as productivity and efficiency.

In a section titled “Positioning Diversity Leadership in Higher Education,” Perry copies almost every sentence from one of several other papers. In no case does she credit the actual source:

Finally, in a section on organizational culture, Perry duplicates language from a variety of other authors:

Perry presented her paper as “qualitative” research because she chatted with what appear to be ten members of her colleagues at the University of Virginia who sat on the faculty-retention taskforce and counted their musings as “data.” But when the paper gets to this section, where plagiarism wasn’t possible, Perry includes the following jumbled passage that includes a glaring spelling error:

The positionality of the participants informed the perspective on the origins of the commission. /in response to the needs of the varios [sic] stakeholders within the university, the commission addressed issues of diversity on the faculty, undergraduate, graduate, and university level.

The section of original text suggests that her plagiarism could be used to mask glaring academic deficiencies. Moreover, Perry in her references section fails to list some of the papers that she cites parenthetically in the body of the dissertation—a telltale sign that she had simply copied those citations from somewhere else. Legitimate academic inquiry would not excuse such shoddy work.

Perry and UCLA did not return requests for comment.

Entrepreneur Mark Cuban recently argued that DEI policies don’t necessarily lower an organization’s expectations. But for Harvard, UVA, and UCLA Medical School—where Perry earned her master’s, Ph.D., and DEI position, respectively—this is evidently not the case. These institutions have dramatically lowered expectations for favored groups and pushed a cohort of “scholars” through the system without enforcing basic standards of academic integrity.

Ultimately, Natalie Perry is to blame for her misconduct. But these institutions of higher learning share some fault for permitting such shoddiness to stand unchallenged.

I started with The Cracker Factory from 1979. Cast: Natalie Wood - Cassie Barrett Perry King - Dr. Edwin Alexander Peter Haskell - Charlie Barrett Shelley Long - Cara Marian Mercer - Eleanor Juliet Mills - Tinkerbell and many more 

Story: Cassie Barrett has an alcohol problem which she herself never realizes and her husband is also no help. Her three kids notice that something is wrong but when their mother can't name it. After another nervous breakdown in the supermarket, her husband Charlie brings her into a psychiatric ward where Cassie is already a steady guest. She knows the patients and her shrink, Dr. Alexander. Especially the doctor lets her see what her inner demons are and that she has to face those if she wanna recover. With time, she befriends with Cara and others there but both, she and Cara, develop a crush on the doctor. Cassie talks to her brother and family but she's not treated well by them. It takes Eleanor's visit to her drunk dead husband grave, a meeting with the AA and her sick child to let Cassie that she also has needs which need to be answered. After returning late once, she is saved by the night nurse Tinkerbell and well, after a last visit to Dr. Alexander and giving him her watch, Cassie returns home to give her family another chance.

I think it’s completely available on Youtube. Just take a look if you’re interested in it. Have fun!

I normally have a hard time listening to podcasts but lo and behold I have finally found one that is both great for me as a writer AND thoroughly hilarious and entertaining throughout:

Yes it's by Jk! Studios, and it basically focuses on embracing failure and bad writing (which is a crucial step towards good writing!). I'm currently in the middle of ep 2 rn and I'm LOVING it.

So if you're a writer, who's maybe insecure about your work, or even just an artist in general, who likes to listen to funny people talk, then this podcast might be for you! (you don't even have to be a writer or artist! It's just definitely about writing LOL)

okay okay I watched murderville the other day, a show where celebrity guest stars are brought on to solve a murder without having a script and ken jeong and kumail nanjiani were on it. I previously headcanoned that this was another of changs attempts at changnesia, getting bored of a normal life at greendale. but, everyone else is still themselves making kumail nanjiani canon in the community universe (im realizing that mcu is already canon in the community universe and my headcanon also doesn't make sense cause it was like 2am when I thought of it but just go with it guys) BUT, both danny pudi and donald glover played in the mcu. danny as com guy #1 in the winter soldier, and donald as the guy peter webbed to his car, aka miles morales's uncle. so abed and troy definitely both watched their respective mcu movies and wondered why the hell they're in it, and why the hell they didn't have bigger parts.

BUT, this is where I get to reform my headcanon with the remembered knowledge that kumail is a character in community, and to make it look less stupid. it's canon that the mcu movies exist, and kumail played in the mcu. granted, that was in 2021 and he was in community 2015, so he wouldn't have been an mcu actor at the time. but kumail has been acting since 2008, at no time would he be a janitor at some community college in colorado. so, who is he then? no one other than kingo himself. yes, he's been keeping himself busy by playing generations of bollywood actors, but maybe he got bored of the grand and lavish he was living, so he took a break. maybe raj kingo deva took a hiatus in 2015 and kingo showed up in colorado, trying out a normal life. but with the secret paintball tournament, it wasn't normal and he quickly headed back to his actor life. and when eternals came out in 2022, the study group saw it (probably individually, but if the movie says they've met up again over the years or got together before when the movie starts, I'll say they watched it together) and it was jeff who noticed at first, texting the groupchat about the guy they accused of hosting a secret paintball game for city college was most definitely kumail nanjiani, but then abed points out everything I've just said about it being kingo himself, making this a really weird inception type thing (idk I've never seen the movie) where both the mcu exists irl and the actors and the movies exist irl.

so I thought i made this make sense but it's also 1am and I haven't really been sleeping so it doesn't make sense. I just love eternals and kumail nanjiani and community okay??
