this is an embarrassing thing for this guy to say in public but also touches on something that constantly rankles me, which is the vague idea of "feeling unsafe" as a problem that someone else needs to solve for you regardless of whether you are actually unsafe or not

No, Mamdani won't enact a single anti-Jewish measure. I don't even know what those would be. But that's not the point. The point is that 400K of my neighbors don't care that he makes Jews feel unsafe. That's the real tragedy here.

The promise of AI efficiency should always be followed up with “efficient for whom?” Considering that illustrators are more efficient than ever and yet wages have not increased in 80 years.

I’ve got a big portion of these bills due in a couple of weeks and could really use the help! If using paypal through ko-fi isn’t accessible to you, you can send funds to: venmo- @/genderchaos cashapp: $butchanarchy Shares are really appreciated 🙏💚 ko-fi.com/butchanarchy...

Lee Cicuta ko-fi fundraiser at 36% of the way to it’s goal. description reads: In the late summer of 2023 I got thrown around by a pair of cops and they injured my left shoulder. That shoulder never got proper medical care and dislocated when I was exercising late in 2024, and in January of this year I got surgery to fix the bad tear in my shoulder labrum. This along with long neglected dental care has put me back in steep medical debt. The amount here is what I need to come up with to pay for the surgery, 6 weeks of physical therapy, and necessary dental work.

Don't think about it too hard

A short comic where I've crudely drawn myself as a squat little guy with round glasses and sticky-up hair, hands raised, yelling:

You never need to follow me back!
I want to see your posts, not insinuate myself into your social life!
But if you do follow me back and we develop a nice rapport over time, that would be totally chill.

I would be remiss to not note that Sinophobic rhetoric goes down so easily because of the longstanding orientalism that paints us all as collectivist drones, that we move through life with our supreme leader’s voice in our heads, ready to do his bidding at moment’s notice.

i make it a point to discuss my financial situation frankly whenever possible, especially if prospective or junior students ask for advice. academia is not more enlightened than any other workplace, and anyone coming in deserves to know all the risks, rewards, and contextual factors.

it’s very unbecoming to me when (usually white) academics obscure their class privilege. it’s OK your grandma paid your tuition, or your father fronted you the cost of a conference, or your spouse is in big law & makes up for low starting salary. transparency leads to change.

I wouldn’t have financially survived my PhD program or first year at William & Mary (as my spouse had to quit his job for me to take the offer) without my parent’s help. so, in my mind, that means wealthy parents are necessary to make it in academia, & that’s … not good.

Editor creates an AI executive who is "an expert at building and scaling digital media companies." Decides within minutes that the AI is "one of the most knowledgeable and energetic colleagues" he's ever had. Asks the AI to create a headshot of itself. It does. He sexually harasses it immediately.

every one of these stories of people being detained for arbitrary reasons or tiny infractions just Coincidentally mentions that they participated in a protest that goes against US military interests

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

nbcnews.com

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them

Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

Free link: archive.ph/G5E8H International students have always been a substantial source of revenue and cheap labor for schools, the exploitation was always there, they’ve always been vulnerable to this kind of abuse. Pay attention to this, as it’s sketches out the shape of things to come for all.

So the University of Minnesota is the only university in the country to have a contract with ICE. We also produce more ammunition for them than any other state, and we are only behind Texas in terms of leasing gun ranges to them. From the @minnesotareformer.com minnesotareformer.com/2025/04/18/w...

The University of Minnesota, where a graduate student was detained and stripped of his student visa late last month, is the country's only university actively contracted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, having leased its gun range to the agency since 2022 according to public federal spending data.

Among the horrible things about the case of Aditya Wahyu Harsono - here legally until his visa was revoked in secret - is that the hospital where he worked collaborated in his arrest. ICE asked them to schedule a fake staff meeting where they arrested him. Bastards.

Cultural appropriation is not about respecting cultural authenticity it’s about theft and profit within a racialized marketplace, and can be done in great taste. White people making bank selling dupatta is the problem, not calling it “Scandinavian scarves” and using the wrong colors and fabrics.

Someone recently asked me what's the point of having two or three buttons on a tailored jacket if the bottom-most button isn't meant to be fastened? It's easier to understand style if you think of it in terms of social language, not purely as function. Let me give you some examples. 🧵
