When I encounter someone else who has READ MIDDLEMARCH, I don’t just identify w them bc key-to-all-mythologies jokes are hilarious (though they are), but also bc I know they spent hours getting increasingly irritated w Fred Vincy or saddened by Lydgate or exasperated with Dorothea but kept reading.

I left my anthro grad program bc I'm not suited to fieldwork,
but I loved being a TA for. It was so exciting to introduce students to the wondrous diversity of human cultures. It makes me sad that today's grad students must find that excitement temperes by justifiable fear of retribution.

And this is so obnoxious because actual-politics is kind of a fucking layup right now.

Your opponents are running a historically corrupt government.

Be anti-corruption. Run on fixing the shit they broke, holding assholes accountable, and improving people’s lives.

Duh.

And sometimes, that is exactly what the book needs - to *not* be required to add gratuitous sex scenes. Let authors and readers enjoy casserole!

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

Fair! I guess I mean the electric components are durable. Before we had standard lights from home depot and it seems every year, a string would randomly come out of storage non-functional
