Some days I think I look pretty cute and some days I swear I look just like Tom Petty.

When you send your kids to school there is zero chance they will come back to you "a different gender," but there is certainly a chance they won't come back at all. Yet some of y'all are worried about the former while shrugging about the latter.

My biggest problem with #4C24 the obnoxious security people hanging around the halls. I found myself over performing with my even how I walked so they wouldn't stop me: Make my badge visible and walk like I knew where I was going thus proving I belonged.

just got an email that began:
“it’s going to be a busy weekend getting ready for the first day of classes…”
what is the point of weekends anymore if the expectation is we’re going to be working through them? I know academia isn’t unique, but no wonder we are all so burnt out.

I know part of belonging in the academy is believing in its ideological project, but, here in 2024, I keep thinking to myself, “Yes, more and better knowledge will certainly win the day, no doubt.”

Goofus is a piece of shit and eats sloppy steaks.
Gallant used to be a piece of shit but is not anymore. He can hold the baby.

I like the Timberwolves retro logo, but it also looks like it just saw its crush agree to go to prom with a different guy.

Jim Jordan embodies the unhinged impulses of conservatives. His promotion of antisemitic conspiracy theories reveals the GOP's detachment from basic human decency.
Let’s be serious about a Speaker who cares for the American people instead of peddling Trumpism and bigotry.

NEW: At a moment when our Jewish communities are in so much pain, I am horrified that Republicans are now planning to elect Speaker who has used his official role as Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee to spread antisemtic tropes & replacement theory online on national TV

For real. Sometimes I wonder why I have so many body issues and then I see something from my formative years and remember oh yeah THAT’S why.

Also New College of Florida board “voted to approve a new business plan for the university, which included revamping the curriculum to focus on “logos,” or word, and “techne,” or skill, the Greek etymology for the word “technology.” 🤔🤷🏽♂️😂 opencampusmedia.org/2023/08/…
