Help me make #hotgirlacademics a thing. It's what Nietzsche's slutty mustache deserves.
Also, cat pics.

I thought about what it means that we have terrorized people — old Black people, Hispanic and Latino people, women, trans people — about how critical this real id bullshit is. But I can pay to opt out of that hassle — and i can turn even more power over to a private company in the age of Palantir.

I think I finished (aside from some potential updates to the last chapter) writing a book. It's midnight and nobody gives a shit but me, but that's what social media is for. 😎

Lots of academics willfully misunderstanding and misrepresenting the Columbia situation bc otherwise they’d have to be honest about the nature of their profession and the institutions that dominate it.

You live inside a monster. It's too big to even notice you, as long as you behave.
Your whole house is just one of its organs. You go out walking and it curls around you.
You live inside a monster and all that ambient sound is its breath and digestion.
Be still and it won't harm you.

I DO know how to look on the bright side: I am simply too poor to afford many of the luxuries I used to indulge in, so by default I am protesting with my dollars every day. 😀👍🎉

Sometimes a student sends an email to all their faculty at once, and some instructors choose to hit Reply All.
And then I get to see how some of them talk to students like they are subhuman deviants, rather than young adults learning to navigate a professional culture/system for the first time.

Me, 2019: I bet if I could write a book clarifying the vitality of #eroticism, it would help combat fascism. 🤔
Me, 2020-2022: Nah, that was dumb. I'm dumb. 😔
Me, 2023-now: I will write TWO books about how eroticism can combat fascism! 😀🤪🙃🖕✌

I saw #TheReturn and I have many thoughts, just a few of which I will inflict upon the internet. Overall solid adaptation of the end of #TheOdyssey with gorgeous, meticulous visuals and subtle performances. I have just a couple small gripes.
