Rüten tooten, fresh und früten.

-German breakfast witchcraft, probably.

Look, the printer needs a goat sacrifice quarterly to function, and that's just a non-negotiable. Don't try to substitute multiple chickens and call it a day, the retribution is costly and most firms don't have enough interns for that sort of thing. Once you're in the groove, it should be okay.

This important travelling exhibition tells the stories of British-born victims of Nazi persecution in the wider context of the Nazis’ T4 euthanasia programme, featuring previously unseen materials from Schloss Hartheim memorial and The Wiener Holocaust Library

I'd rather be pope than president, personally.

It's me, hi, sorry. I lost the yearly lottery to elect the Jew Pope and I'm stuck with it again, it's like the 4th time. No, no, it's my sacrifice to make, I wouldn't dream of inconveniencing anyone else with this miserable job. If only the coin came faster. It takes 5-7 business years to arrive.

I used to put myself in different themed backgrounds for lectures when I was teaching during lockdown. The first kid to figure out the relevance got a few extra credit points. It was such fun.

I’m sorry WHAT??

Not long ago -- in my lifetime -- all trans people faced unspeakable violence, including state-sponsored violence, for simply existing

And self-appointed gatekeepers made it as tough as possible for a person to transition.

Anyone who wants to bring back the gatekeeping also wants the violence back

Historian here, I know the tech bros are poster children for fascism but what about Stephen Miller who was a philosophy major like Goebbels Kevin Roberts of Project 2025 fame who is a historian and Russ Vought who majored in history and political science. These “thinking men” are just as dangerous!

I'm so overwhelmingly exhausted. I've been stuck pain-dozing on the chaise for the better part of the day. At least it's been a rainy day, so the weather reflected the mood.

I've been waiting all year to repost this 🎃

it's frickin bats

It being Syracuse, I don't have a ton of hope.

Plus ça change...

Periodically, I fantasize about starting a school based on progressive pedagogy of Goddard College and the great books method of St John's University. Give it a dash of Dead Poet's Society aesthetic and it would be amazing.

Then I remember how expensive it would be and I shelve it.

Pyaari is so decent 🥺

I knew about the passport from working on early 20th century ballet, but I somehow missed the polar exploration stuff!

Honestly, it gives me the vibes of universities trying to get in on the "courses" that every influencer offers.

"Just pay us $100,000 per year and we'll teach you all the tips, tricks, and secret strategies to grow your brand, shift your mindset, and change your lifestyle!"

I fell down this rabbit hole last night, reading about Nansen until 4:30 in the morning.

Thank you for this weird new fixation and the delightful weirdness of the noods drama. I never knew about any of this!

fun fact, there are no naval cannons, if what would be called a cannon is placed on a us naval ship it is magically transformed into a "gun" in their official terminology

anyway 11 had a gun for an arm there
