I watched a documentary about Oscar Michaud today and all I could think about when they were putting his work in conversation with Birth of a Nation was "I'll bet @moviessilently.bsky.social would have some COMMENTS"

I don't think free speech on campus ought to mean that a young coddled bigot gets to use their ignorance to casually destroy the career of a knowledgeable trans person on a random Wednesday

I don’t understand why Hemingway got to drink himself to death while writing a manifesto in a house full of cats but when I do it it’s “a maladaptive coping mechanism” and I “need to talk to someone”

It’s always fun to see the clips of the Sunday political shows because you get to go “yep the news lets people lie to them for an hour and airs it”

Maybe it is the abuses that create division, not report of the abuse, not consequence for the abuse. Maybe it is bullying that causes division, not fighting the bully on behalf of the bullied. Maybe it is lies that cause division, not the telling of truths. Maybe we need to change the frame.

If you need multiple jobs while doing full time school, as I did, that counts you out of a TON of internships. I wasn't able to do one in undergrad and that severely affected my job prospects. In grad school I had to find my own paid internship to graduate. I have a mortgage in student loans.

I've lost 40-ish pounds and my joint pain is exactly the same. From everything every doctor and busy body has said I should be pain free. Weird. Maybe the weight gain was a symptom of the pain and not vice versa!

Dear fellow middle aged white women, We're well known as cunts. And we deserve that title, as a whole. Let's fuck up ICE. Let's be cunty for good. Instead of calling the cops on your neighbors for having a party, film ICE.

4 panel comic

First two panels are entitled “Journalist Visits Twitter”

Panel 1: Journalist is skipping happily through Twitter. Behind them, two people shout “Black people suck!” And “gay people suck”

Panel 2: Journalist continues to skip. Two more people shout “trans people suck” and “immigrants suck!”

The second two panels are titled “Journalist Visits Bluesky”

Panel 3: Journalist skips into bluesky and someone immediately shouts “YOU suck”

Panel 4: Journalist is crouched on the floor, absolutely devastated. In the foreground is a piece of paper that reads “Today, I went to hell”

I've recreated the Entenmann's Devil's Food Cake.I've been trying to do this for years with a bunch of different marshmallow frosting recipes.The frosting was always a little off.Too fluffy and light and the flavor just wasn't there. Swiss merengue buttercream.Not traditional marshmallow frosting.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

Part of my job is sending out emails every quarter to every project manager at work who has a federally funded project to remind them to do their MPRs and FFRs. This last quarter FEMA was inaccessible due to the shutdown. Their auto reminders sure do work, though!

I am reading an essay called Male-Male Desire in Pharaonic Egypt (by Alex Clayden) which is actually pretty good

but

I just need to draw attention to this little gem of a pick-up line

"How beautiful are thy buttocks!"

Attention, followers: you now know how to write "nice ass" in hieroglyphics.

Joyce Carol Oates quoting a tweet that says “wherever he [Elon Musk] goes, he wants to leave”:

"wherever he goes, he wants to leave"-- that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation.
