This is not the usual budget woes, MN folks. These cuts will fundamentally damage our flagship university, one of the biggest economic drivers of the state, possibly irrevocably.

At what point do they get to the point where there’s just nothing left to cut where we just stop having universities? The U of M is one of the biggest economic engines in the state and we keep on shrinking it down

My side-hustle is being a music librarian for a brilliant and eccentric church choir director. I get to giggle at titles (“what is this lovely fragrance” aka WHO FARTED) and composer names (Edward TITCOMB! Heinrich SCHEIDT!). Plus I totally get to yell at the tenors who don’t turn in their music.

Hey friends! I am seeing that a certain Awful Lady and her unbroken record of sociopathic harm is back in the discourse. And boy. She really sucks. But maybe we can take this opportunity to highlight and celebrate children's authors who AREN'T transphobic pieces of shit. Great. I'll start...

I would have been very happy to make extremely questionable decisions with Tim Curry. And every single one would have been the RIGHT decision. Dolly would likely not have made those same decisions, but she’d have my back for sure.

folks SAY they want kindness but this is not always the case. the most controversial thing that i ever post is 'the best way to make inroads in any creative profession is to be kind'. i get SO much pushback, because it is a scary idea for those who have trained themselves to be unkind as a defense

When we analyze literature, we aren’t particularly concerned with what the author “intended.” Even if we know? We don’t have to agree with them.

The claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
