Even in his own made up flattery fantasies, the woman has to be completely intoxicated to find him appealing.

The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

When I think of "health" I think of Russel Brand, because as Hegel famously taught us, every term must contain its own negation.

I also want to make clear that only interpreting horniness as profanity and nudity is one bad outcome of the dark/gritty era. There can be canonical horny texts available at every cinematic rating.

When I was a teenager I re-read Stephen King's It every 6-12 months. (I also re-read it once as an adult, maybe 10 years ago.) Anyway, it has all paid off in the ease in which I wrote a framing section for the first chapter of my book. All those hours for 4 easy paragraphs. So worth it.

I have feels about movies featuring white guys. I've been actively avoiding them but then just watched two (2!) and am reminded why IDGAF about white guy movies (hint: they are always built on women's pain). It's just exhausting,y'all.

This is particularly important (and challenging) when teaching GenEd classes. It's a huge disservice to students and faculty that we offload GenEd to contingent faculty. I've been trying to figure out how to bridge the research-faculty-to-teaching-faculty gap for like a decade and just gave up.

HOLY SHIT DUDES fucking with the environment is now not just a sin (which Francis also said), it is classed as a direct fuck-you to God and a central tenet of the reasoning is the need to care for "our common home," i.e. you are morally obligated to think about the other people who also live here

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.
