Ratio me? I think sometimes people think they are being edgy but they aren’t. It is not edgy to support the head of one of the largest news organizations in the world. Like. It’s okay to just say you like adjacency to power! Own it!

Ratio me. Please. It's a badge of honor. If you don't like a link, go follow some chicken-heart who needs the approval of the thought-police. Caitlin Flanagan of @theatlantic.com is a tremendous writer and this piece is an excellent read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

It’s just amazing how adorable this dog is. He is an absolute delight every single day.

Jacket season is FINALLY here.

International militaries train in the US regularly. This is noteworthy because Qatar have trump an ugly plane a few months back.

Roxane Gay @roxanegay.bsky.social · 2d

Huh. A Qatari Air Force facility in Idaho….such a grab bag bullshit day after day.

Roxane Gay @roxanegay.bsky.social · 2d

What does that even mean?

Libra season is upon us. My power is now infinite and fall has finally fallen. Crisp and clear today. Praise Beyoncé.

We are seeing Liberation for our cultural critical class.

Taking my students to a Broadway show tonight. Adventure time!

I was just curious because I recently heard about it. Thank you for sharing!

Has anyone read Alchemised?

Roxane Gay @roxanegay.bsky.social · 3d

It’s really frustrating. I don’t love doing events with (most not all) men because they never stop talking. And I am not good at forcing myself into conversation so the I just wait my turn and afterward people say, “you should have spoken more.”

Girl. What!?!? Is that real? It cannot be.

This week, our colleague Dr. Mark Bray came under attack by Turning Point USA’s Rutgers chapter for his public scholarship. Rutgers AAUP-AFT and the Rutgers Adjunct Faculty Union condemn this campaign and stand in solidarity with our colleagues. Read our full statement here: https://loom.ly/BDXasRY

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

This is why men should take a vow of silence about reproductive freedom. Idiotic ideas, abound.

William B. Fuckley @opinionhaver.bsky.social · 4d

My most controversial take on this is probably that while I think reproductive freedom should be sacrosanct, I don’t really have any problem with additional taxes on (high income) childless people. Someone gotta pay into the pensions!

Look, you can feel however you want about her and express that dislike however you want, but what we're not going to do is traffic in antisemitism. Come on! Maybe you don't know of the connection between the term LP and antisemitism but if htat's the case, now you do.

Our bill in LA was $900 and we are only there half time. It’s really outrageous. Normally it’s around $500.

Roxane Gay @roxanegay.bsky.social · 5d

Too bad it’s not creative writing!

Good news! The university has found a way to make DUO even more annoying, fussy, and complicated. It's almost like they don't want us to access anything.

Roxane Gay @roxanegay.bsky.social · 6d

I have been flummoxed by Bari Weiss heading up CBS news all day. It’s not jealousy. I don’t want that job. I am not qualified to do it. I just don’t understand how this is possible.

Roxane Gay @roxanegay.bsky.social · 6d

Never forget
