sorry emily wilson also every classicist

I'd probably be more likely to watch this version in theaters, tbh

give Odysseus a lightsaber and an uzi, what do I care

This was SO fun--can't wait

THURSDAY on @thisguysucked.com: Dylan Gottlieb @dygottlieb.bsky.social and I really give sun-dried tomatoes a talking-to. If that doesn’t make sense yet, don’t worry. It will.

My “not a golden calf” shirt has a lot of people asking questions already answered by my shirt

Sometimes I will ask myself why I am the way I am and then I remember my favorite book as a child was Edward Gorey’s Gashlycrumb Tinies

hello everyone, today I am Experiencing Western Massachusetts

If you’re doing anything but praising your students genuinely, there’s no reason to speak about them publicly (and, in most cases, privately too).

the real recession indicator is how badly the youth yearn for the return of frutiger aero
