uh www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

(clears throat) Put your phone down while driving! You’re not alone out there. You’re not good at it. You’re not special. You’re not more important than anyone else. Whatever you’re reading/typing can wait. PUT IT DOWN!

Boomer poets are some of the absolute worst people imaginable. Apologies to everyone above 30

Today we remember trans people who have died over the past year. Whether their deaths be by murder or suicide, I consider every person on this list to have been taken from us by trans hate. Remembering them is an act of respect and rebellion.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Zohran Mamdani wins with >50% of the vote. Clean sweeps in statewide races in New Jersey and Virginia. Pennsylvania retains all democratic Supreme Court justices. California passes prop 50. This is the best possible outcome that could've happened tonight.

hey Chaucer and Hoccleve scholars! I got a talk coming up with the International Hoccleve Society on November 3rd, 2025 @1pm CST!

Wow. Harvard nuking its PhD programs - Science PhD admissions reduced by more than 75% - Arts & Humanities reduced by about 60% - Social Sciences by 50–70% - History by 60% - Biology by 75% - The German department will lose all PhD seats - Sociology from six PhD students to zero

Nobody talks about Chaucer crashing out about a femboy in the Canterbury Tales

The teaser trailer for By Time You See Me There Will Be Nothing Left, my directorial debut about a messy t4t serial killer couple, being a mentally ill cripple, and living in California in 2025, it’s a very depressing fucked up little movie and I can’t wait to show to yall (kickstarter below)

listening/reading to knapp’s bureaucratic muse on hoccleve and, as the reader reads footnotes aloud after the text, read out loud “Hoc-“ then “2.” and it’s a real shame that the next syllable wasn’t “uh”

NEW PODCAST EPISODE!!! To my 1k followers please know I have a really funny podcast!!!

I’m going to write a letter this week. It would be cool if y’all did too.

new poetry out at @fifthwheelpress.bsky.social ! fifthwheelpress.com/blogarchive/...

UChicago Humanities is forcing those few departments allowed to admit a 2026-27 PhD class to admit fewer students. That’s a decrease from an already lower level. At some point the degree programs become completely unviable.

So yesterday I learned about Ava Cordero, a transgender woman who, in 2007, sued Jeffrey Epstein alleging he sexually abused her when she was 16. Her lawsuit was filed in 2007 while Epstein was negotiating a plea deal in Florida for abusing other girls, but her claims were mocked and dismissed

the saddest egg dynamic is when they're in a relationship with someone who actively discourages them from contemplating transness, but i think it might be even worse when it's a trans person who seemingly has a vested interest in their partner's cisness out of their own insecurity for cis validation

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

is this really the world you want your children to live in, and your children’s children,
