Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Miranda Richardson in Damage isn't as brief as I'd remembered it but still 020
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I like imagining Yul casually lounging in that costume between takes 000
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 06/08/2026aka gas station fried chicken I temped at a place where people lost their minds at how good this is 020
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 22/07/2026so many grim reapers and grand weepers that it's hard to choose, but I drink a thousand shipwrecks tonight I steal your paychecks has always made me giggle 010
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 16/07/2026solid middle relief pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, 1975-8 010
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 16/07/2026there's an important work of theory that I will not name that has enough missing words and typos in the published article that it creates ambiguities and obscures meaning the fact that it's been cited 4000+ times in the 20 years and no one seems to have brought this up is, well, deeply troubling 010
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 06/07/2026oh, weird house-sit AMA, the most dangerous of all games 110
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 06/07/2026What does she think of Dolores Hayden's The Grand Domestic Revolution 000
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 01/07/2026this place has everything: bacteria...brain-freezes...screaming babies in Mozart wigs...sprinkle people... 010
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 20/06/2026despite other opinions on this thread, their crackers are in fact delicious 010
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 20/06/2026whose library do you think will have the Thoughts and Prayers Lobby? 000
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Hayek was inevitable but I didn't see teeth coming in first 010
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 06/06/2026for example, rank these from 1 to 5: ceiling fans, the feeling of teeth rubbing across a drinking glass, nerf footballs, throwing up at the corner of Bowery and Houston, The Road to Serfdom by Friedrich Hayek 110
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 06/06/2026another one that's fun for completely different reasons: "rank these from 1 to 5" - where you list five things and people have to rank them in order from best to worst, and even better, have a conversation about why 110
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 28/05/2026my mom did something like this the other day to a person who was bragging about their grandchild's facility with AI unrelated: when I was 8 I asked her what she'd do if Pat Robertson came to our door, and she said she'd kick him in the nuts 070
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 19/05/2026why do people say "precariat" but never "reserve army of labor" 010
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Like, everyone please stop fronting like you know. This stuff is hard. This is why people think they need to use AI or whatever. 020
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 19/05/2026I have a diagram I use all the time that's "what we're told research is like" v. "what it actually is like" (with specifics). I'm also starting to think that we should assign ethnographies of people writing research papers as part of any class involving a lot of research and writing. 120
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 19/05/2026no joke, this would be of immense pedagogical value--students need to see how janky the whole process is like, I show students a page I annotated as an undergrad to show them how not to take notes 130
Nicoloff @nicoloff.bsky.social · 18/05/2026this moment has revealed how many people seem to think it's acceptable to cite something they haven't read, which as an academic librarian, I find fascinating (i.e., "fascinating") 130
