After every office hour I have students I want to hug and tell it‘s fine if something doesn’t go according to plan sometimes (aka if you get sick or sth bad happens it‘s ok that this derails your studies) and shake others to just get better at organizing themselves. The spectrum of care.

Idk how often I have to say Joyce Carol Oates is a Twitter troll the fact she remained on the platform for this long should mean nobody on the left should even care what she has to say anymore at least not on social media

I’ve written a monograph on Disneyland which at the time was one of the only ones to exist, it’s been available OA from day one in 2021 so you can find it as a free pdf online, and some people do cite it, but then I regularly see work that could really benefit from it but just ignores its existence

I am lucky to have not been sexually assaulted or raped by a colleague but cis men in academia behave like cis men in power everywhere & the Cornell case makes me so angry we’re not doing shit about the rape culture at universities still. It’s not just frat parties. It’s the institutions, too.

I remember the handwringing in Switzerland after the pandemic started about potential privacy perils & security concerns regarding online/hybrid-teaching & video chat in general. Like not to talk about certain topics on Zoom because that'd be too risky. But GenAI? Wahey, anything goes apparently.

Die Realität von Rape Culture ist, dass jedes Jahr hier Männer wegen der Wiesn sehr besorgt sind, aber wenn in ihrem eigenen Umfeld Täter lange bekannt sind, sich ausgeschwiegen wird oder die Unschuldsvermutung auf einmal ganz wichtig ist. Als Frau hab ich im Bierzelt nicht mehr Angst als anderswo.

"How could I, an adult, read fan fiction?" — A sentence I read in a major publication just now. These articles could stop whenever we want them to. It would be quite simple. Everyone would just need to agree to it.

There’s rumors Jürgen Klopp and the German national team have a running bet to sneak certain words into their press conferences and how was this never a Ted Lasso plotline, we even had Ted using “in to touch” in a sentence in the pilot but wasted potential to call back to that or make it bigger

I find the conversations about hiring insufferable, especially when the jobs are so paltry in terms of pay. They often devolve into full on speculation about the candidates, their psychology, their "fit." Like, this is a job that pays less than being a plumber and I doubt they go thtough this.

Thinking about ice coffee gate w re: academia, it's amazing how fast the grad student you commiserated with about all the stupid hoops you had to jump through becomes the junior faculty on the hiring committee going "they said dissertation and not book project in their cover letter👎👎👎"

Same thing happened in Germany, now some are trying to open sapphic spaces again but rent and other costs make it difficult in the now-gentrified gay quarters like Munich’s Glockenbachviertel.

I love nothing more than not getting a spot at an open mic for the umpteenth time - only for a guy to be invited who I have repeatedly seen making jokes about how he is now too old to fuck 17 year olds. I even once overheard the guy booking it saying they can’t have him back. Well.

Cause “she” looks like a conventionally feminine sex bot, they get to be women cause women aren’t people anyway, unless it’s about trans women then those men suddenly have an opinion on their human rights
