When I was about 7 or 8, I couldn't sleep so I walked out into the living room where my dad was watching The Mummy. Scared the shit out of me.

I'm getting increasingly annoyed when English speaking people/pages post about something German and don't use the Umlaute. I'm sorry, O and Ö are not the same thing. It makes a difference. Please just use the proper spelling of German things. Yes, this is about someone specific.

In a world where Drexel University can close down the nation's oldest natural history museum just because they want to raid its endowment and develop the land, we have to ask if our corporatized universities can be trusted with museums or if museums should separate themselves as quickly as possible.

How accurately do our devices depict an ancient amphora? Our curator Ben Paites has inspected every version, and the results range from “solid Greek amphora” to “What in the Minecraft?!” Swipe for expert analysis, questionable handles and one surprisingly respectable 9/10. 🏺🧵

Anyone trying to co-opt bisexuality as the terfy alternative to pansexuality is an asshole and wrong. Remember that some of our foundational queer, bisexual lionesses were Black trans women.

Whenever I see dudes discuss their role in a hypothetical apocalypse many insist that they would be super useful because they know how to fight or they have guns. Meanwhile I know how to weave, sew, mend and metalwork. My mother forages. My SIL is a doctor. We'd all likely be more useful.

Robin Morgan’s 1973 Speech at the West Coast Lesbian Conference invented the “trans women are rapists” trope out of thin air. Her legacy is that of being the original TERF. May she be respected in death to the same degree she “respected” Beth Elliott in life.

From everything I've read about Steinem, the comparison to Alice Schwarzer is striking (Germans will know what I'm talking about). We owe a lot to second-wave feminists but we need to move past it in many ways as well.

It was learning that history was more than names and dates - that it was stories, narratives, ways of making sense of the world - that made me choose history. That it wasn't just questions you could memorize the 'right answer' to. Everything about AI flies in the face of that.

It’s important to be clear that the truth value of a subject does not become debatable just because somebody wants to debate. Ether. Wandering wombs. Devils in red heads, the cursed left handed. Flat earth. Phrenology. Humors. Race science. “Debate me bro!” It’s fine for the answer to be: no.
