me earlier today about to depart for a concert at lincoln center. apparently many of the older people in this audience don’t appreciate the “i am a transgender lesbian” vibe that i am giving off, based on the stares i am getting

@cassie-opeia.northsky.social and i saw you from across the bar… like what the hell is your problem?!

a beautiful woman with black curly hair and bangin’ tits holding a martini glass sticking her tongue out and a gorgeous stunning impeccable woman in an orange v neck shirt and a hot as fuck shaved side haircut with her shoulder-length brown hair swooped to the other side giving a sultry sexy look at the camera

hey why don’t you try putting both hands on the keyboard and explaining with some more details how “women in ‘free love’ counter culture movements” are at fault here

post: i am sure there are people where it works that they are poly but frankly the failures of the poly movement makes you all look like fools

quoted:
women in "free love" counterculture movements of the 1960s showed, many times over, how this always turns out

me when I touch grass n go outside of my online feminist theory echo chamber and realize that 90% of people still just straight up hate women

another fun bullet tactic. dude took my knight, apparently not seeing Qh4#

chess board from black perspective. white king on h1, most recent move is f3 threatening knight on g4

knight captures h2 pawn which isn’t a real sacrifice because the bishop covers g1 so kxh2 allows qh4#

growing up means seeing your heroes become boomers

That's higher education today in a nutshell, I think as I tromp up the stairs: a glorified exercise in risk mitigation. Between a sometimes suffocating neoliberal culture within academic institutions that wants everything here to be safe, and disruptive political attacks from the outside that paint everything that happens here as dangerous, the space for truly free learning, thinking, and teaching feels squeezed to the vanishing point. I'd become disenchanted enough with all the headaches associated with being a full-time professor that I'd taken early retirement as soon as I could afford to, so that I could concentrate on the things I truly enjoy-there are many ways to teach and learn beyond the academy.

v proud of this checkmate i found in a bullet game (1 minute time control) with 26 seconds left vs. my opponents' 15

checkmate with a knight that can't be taken because the queen is pinning a pawn and the escape square is covered by a bishop

a european watching europeans be european: what are we a bunch of asians???

Our ignorance of the brilliant social life Swann led was obviously due in part to his natural reserve and discretion, but also to the fact that bourgeois people in those days had a somewhat Hindu conception of society, and saw it as being made up of a number of closed castes, in which everyone, from birth, found himself placed in the station occupied by his parents and from which nothing, except a particularly illustrious career or an unusually brilliant marriage, could remove you and elevate you to a superior caste.

Technically a rewatch but I watched this for the first time like a decade ago when I was young and stupid. Beautiful movie.

letterboxd review of In the Mood for Love. 5 stars. “In another life, I would have loved writing a martial arts serial with you.”

saw a bunch of reviews about how this wasn’t like an accurate portrayal of hansen but i don’t understand how that’s a relevant critique to a film about george w bush?

letterboxd review of Primetime. 4.5 stars. You’ve got to kill the Chris Hansen in your head.

And indeed progressive, idealistic Wind dreamed of a happy world consisting of Siamese centuplets, anatomically conjoined communities, whole nations built around a communicating liver. "It is nothing but a kind of microcosmos of communism-all that psychiatry," rumbled Pnin, in his answer to Chateau. "Why not leave their private sorrows to people? Is sorrow not, one asks, the only thing in the world people really possess?"

Actually her eyes were of a light transparent blue with contrasting black lashes and bright pink canthus, and they slightly stretched up templeward, where a set of feline little lines fanned out from each. She had a sweep of dark brown hair above a lustrous forehead, and a snow-and-rose complexion, and she used a very light red lipstick, and save for a certain thickness of ankle and wrist, there was hardly a flaw to her full-blown, animated, elemental, not particularly well-groomed beauty.

you know it’s funny, i’ve been thinking about this meme recently and how actually when i look at it i really sympathize with the ogre. maybe that’s just me though.

an ogre crying reading ulysses saying ‘Everyone Call Ogre STupID and it TRuE! Ogre barely
even Literate!
Ogre finally finished reading ULYSSES, but Ogre only Can identify surface level themes like
Religion and Natiohalism and
Can't Comprehend deeper
ideas like the "Remorse of Conscience" that make
James Joyce's novel a Modernist Classic!
I Ogre so dumb, it make Ogre sad!
At this rate, Oare will never understand Finnegans Wake!’
