The women in this story who transform into horses are called Centaurites. The -ite suffix here is interesting because it could imply a religious or spiritual connection. I personally would have went with -oid. #BSUENG490

Janus Belacek, the doctor who discovered equinification is named after the Roman god Janus, the god of new beginnings. Her birthday is in June, a potential reference to Juno, the Roman god of beauty, marriage, and the Roman state. #BSUENG490

Macarena in 9/8 or 5/4 or whatever he's doing plus no personal protective equipment? This is the worst CPR ever. #BSUENG490

I don't know what pills he's taking, but it shouldn't be with wine. #BSUENG490

The killings by penetration from the chair leg in the mouth, hairpin, and fire poker all feel phallic in the context of this very dysphoric journey she's going through. #BSUENG490

The way she went from sadistic and almost reveling in the violence with the woman in the bedroom to seeing it as a chore as soon as the man showed up and then back to sadistic when it was time to kill a woman again. 1/2 #BSUENG490

She's wearing the "NEVER GIVE UP" shirt during this? #BSUENG490

Not to diss the foley artists, but that's not the sound a wet hand against a window should make. SMH. #BSUENG490

I knew that hair pin was a Chekhov's gun. They lingered on that shot for way too long for her to not stab somebody with it. #BSUENG490

What can I say? I'm a sucker for sci-fi/fantasy. I have to go with Binti for the one I'd recommend to other people. Give that man back his-- I mean "its"-- stinger! #BSUENG490

I personally think we should engage this Robert fellow in the free and fair marketplace of ideas through civil and rational discourse. #BSUENG490 #NotABigFanOfMen

In "Stretch Marks," when Donna remembers her mother saying "girls are the worst," she's already blaming her daughter for things she has no control over, something we see her do to herself throughout. #BSUENG490

"It is because we expose violence that we are heard as violent, as if the violence of which we speak originates with us." Erm actually YOU'RE the sexist because you want to take away my right to talk about how I don't like women! #BSUENG490

Not a big fan of using the word "snake" in that way. #bsueng490

"If I couldn’t make otjize here, then I’d have to . . . change." This line does such a good job of establishing how unsure and nervous she is at this point. #bsueng490

When Lorde talks about White women not teaching work by Black women because they can't relate to it despite teaching Shakespeare, I appreciated that as an education major. #BSUENG490

The problem with a lot of Sci-Fi is that many characters don't react to the world like they live in it. Binti feels like a real person because she doesn't fall into this trap #bsueng490

Instead of "Elon is a billionaire," it's "Elon is fat." Emasculation is a tool used by people with and without power, and it's generally not helpful. #BSUENG490

I've also been thinking about what @milesbotkin.bsky.social mentioned. If I found out that one of my roommates was actually an undercover cop, I would literally never be the same. #bsueng490

"This is the only thing in this room that’s intelligible," Daniel said, picking a bit of cobweb off the corner, "presumably because Simon didn’t write it himself."
Interesting way to characterize Simon #BSUENG490

I was really scared she was going to try to make a value judgment about the cyborg. It was refreshing to hear that our relationship with technology exists, and it isn't good, and it isn't bad. It just is. #BSUENG490

Judith's idea that those who don't properly perform gender are punished is relevant today as much as ever. I'm not her biggest fan, but look at the way everyone online is attacking Chappell Roan for daring to speak out against the way she is mistreated as a famous woman. #bsueng490
