Genuinely the worst thing about having a PhD in a music-related field is all of the men who think they know more than you do about the thing you spent the better part of a decade becoming an expert on because they own a lot of CDs

if you're trying to do something that synthesizes from a lot of different angles, there's much less space for that. it's all about fitting into existing fandom or subcommunity expectation. a kind of extension of what internet communities have always been about, in my book. i don't think it's good!

Bsky is better than Twitter because I opened the app to this and my first thought was less "I am being swarmed by terfs/right-wingers" and more "oh my silly autistic friends must be extra active today"

whenever I see stuff like this I'm like, hey, I'm not sure you're making a great case against Hegel by choosing to aggressively embody a chapter of the Phenomenology, lol

update i forgot to leave here: i latter started shit because he was advancing levinas's critique of the speculative and defense of the other as absolute alter, and got this amazing gem

average conversation between me and @bloomfilters.plus

I want you to consider something: two women having sex with each other.

Hmmmm so you like Bocchi The Rock, Girls Band Cry, Rock is a Lady's Modesty, Bandori and Revue Starlight as a guy?

psychoanalysis is a useful theoretical lens for understanding the world

yes, i am legally required to have these two characters have the most awkward exchanges ever. it's not even cringe comedy anymore, it's just as an end in itself

not only are federal police agencies saying they have a monopoly on the legitimate use of force but they are also saying they have a right to use illegitimate force. this is the framework of fascism.

returning to this and thinking about how this is something that is very central to the story i want to write

cannot begin to describe how much i hate the recent move on opposing ICE and DHS because theyve overstepped their mandate of focusing on immigration, rather than the principle of it all

sometimes you gotta drop a bit of psychoanalysis to scare the non-hoes

Saying “decenter X” is the same as saying “don’t think of a white elephant” sorry sorry sorry

i sent you my 34 pages pdf with the setup of my story, please respond

didn't like the clumsy placeholder name i was giving to a nameless and unimportant throwaway character, so i decided to give her a title, and from that also a name name and now she organically became an actual character who is kinda really fun to write

Beethoven diabelli variations—he really got them all. There were no more variations to vary when he was done
