Same shit happened with Niel Gaiman. Nothing shocking about it.

"I know women experience sexual abuse all the time, but I never thought it could be MY favorite internet white guy" has gotta be the most tone-deaf reaction out there. We live in a patriarchy, we need to do better for the victims than respond with shock every time.

"trust me, it gets better" says the person who is very clearly not doing okay at all.

Fake feminists will tell you they believe in women's empowerment when they really only believe that empowerment can come from patriarchal positions of authority. Empowerment is an internal authority over ones body. Therefore, true feminism means women can be both authoritative and submissive.

"so I need you to create a mechanic where the player can control the sun with real time lighting." "Cool give me ten minutes." "I also need you to make a very basic door." "You fucking bastard."

If you're talking about the best food cities in the world and you're not talking about Detroit you gotta check yourself.

Reasons why I should be cast on #Survivor: 1. Historically, every Jenna on the show has been entertaining 2. I write with a 2 time Pixar director and EP 3. I became a professor at 22. 4. My neurodivergence and my extroversion go crazy together 5. I'm bisexual which automatically makes me cool.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Oh this #survivor cast is going to be good. The open era sounds so fun. Hope to play some day 🤞 (I'd win, of course, because I'm just that cool)

AI is obvious a concern, but fascism and climate change are both far greater existential threats to humanity.

The reason El Sayed's campaign is so good is because he's actually campaigning on the things he's excited about.

Just shut down the publication if this is the type of reporting you are going to do.

It's short-sighted to blame students for a systematic cultural problem brought about by the patriarchy that has, at every step, enabled fascism.

As a dual enrollment professor, it's become pretty clear that younger gen z isn't lazy, they've just realized that "hard work pays off" is a lie.

a lot of people act like there's a trade being offered where we give up trans athletes in sports and in exchange fascism is defeated forever

Obviously people shouldn't watch the Harry Potter show because of JK Rowling's transphobia, but we can't keep overlooking the blatant in-text antisemitism. This isn't about separating the art from the artist. The art is the problem.

There are other contributing factors to the literacy problem. Most of them come back to educational practices. Teaching counting by using 67 poses no threat to literacy. Get a grip.

Jenna Perkin @jennaperkin.com · 11/09/2026
Any criticism of the dire literacy problem that criticizes 67 is deeply misguided and narcissistic. The desire to learn can easily be boosted by an engagement with our social environments. 67 is completely harmless. The thread to your kids literacy is the lack of phonics education, not memes.

people will idealize walkable towns and third spaces then seemingly do everything in their power to prevent them from existing at an affordable cost

Everyone yearns for the college days, when we had like twelve different third spaces and our friends would just randomly show up there without even having to plan anything.

I ended up in a wheelchair overnight. While I recovered 9 months later, the entire experience was completely jarring. I knew it was bad. But to know it and to live it are so distant. What I never anticipated was for all my credibility and competence to be perceived as obsolete by strangers.

Nahhhh Life is Strange Double Exposure rocks. The breakup was a good creative decision. Safi is a good character. They nailed exactly what an older Max would be. Not perfect, but genuinely great. It's a shame it didn't resonate with people the way earlier entries did.

I imagine people will be willing to wreck cars and drive without worry. It'll probably be really fun. But in a country of mass shootings, yeah, the idea of opening fire just doesn't seem fun right now. Games don't cause violence, but violence defines how we play.

This is also how I've come to understand my former conservatism. When my whole worldview changed, I couldn't fathom how I even upheld my conservative beliefs. Recently, years after bettering myself, I realized how much effort I had put into keeping my ignorance, refusing to draw my own conclusions.

I used to enjoy debate, until debate replaced the obligation to research. Instead of finding the correct answers, people believe they are owed dissenting argument in order to learn. They turn fact into argument and declare themselves judge. If you can't sway willful ignorance, you must be wrong!

Every time someone says Obsession is a Monkey's Paw I have to wonder if they don't believe women should have autonomy. Obsession isn't a Monkey's Paw, Bear just made an evil wish.
