I just think it’s so funny that after millennia of evolving society we’re still like, “nope, can’t show a wiener, that’s wrong for…reasons.”

Not sure how to explain any more clearly that when you sign up for an in-person class, you have to attend in-person

Would love to see a Buffy reboot actually set in the 90s that captures the emerging queer and trans cultural scene, as well as the rampant transphobia and homophobia of the time, to show how we survived and kicked vamp ass.

Post your queer awakenings (this is a safe space)

They should invent a career you feel good about

Suicide prevention is not telling suicidal people to call a number for cops to take them to the psych ward. It’s being community for people. People suffer alone. You abandon your sad & mentally ill & lonely friends because they bum you out. We’re the ones with the duty of caring for each other.

I would enjoy this more if I didn’t know that somewhere at least three university presidents are pressuring their learning tech teams to get PureGenius Ready by EOD Friday.

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

Some neat upcoming events and courses on campus:

The thing about streaming music is that no one really gets paid for it except the streamers themselves, and the data doesn’t belong to anyone but them—it can vanish at any time. Yeah, I know my tape and CD collection looks silly, but at least I’ve got a reliable apocalyptic soundtrack.

Did you miss this weekend's talk? We were joined by Stefan Ekman to talk MAGICAL MODERNITY: A Brief Anatomy and History of Urban Fantasy. You can catch this class here youtu.be/RHpBSqETRTQ

Fascinated by the whiplash of Buffy being green-lit, then cancelled in the weirdest way possible where even SMG is like “meh” in a way that suggests it’s not really cancelled, then Firefly getting rebooted as a crowd-sourced animated show a day later. Like, what is happening?

So the Buffy reboot is cancelled but we’re getting a Vampire Lestat vehicle that no one asked for?

Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game. No ICE No War No Kings No Fear.

Realizing the bubble I live in is not left/right but people who understand the scale and seriousness of the moment and are willing to think ambitiously and creatively about ways to address it and those that… just don’t.

Actor Karim Diané tells Xtra about carrying on Star Trek’s legacy of inclusion with his role as the franchise's first gay Klingon.

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever. It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

I guess new vinyl just costs $60-70 now? Like it’s made of solid gold?

My institution is hosting an event called "AI Futures," where the panelists discuss positive experiences with/possibilities for AI in the humanities and beyond. The event is connected to our library, which is currently facing a round of serious budget cuts. Fact: AI will not deliver "futures."

spring/summer hot fashion tip: i heard that zoomorphic fibulae are expected to make a BIG comeback!

Every day I try to ask the questions my counsellor taught me: Are you safe? If you follow this chain of worry to its (illogical), conclusion, how likely is it that the worst thing will happen? What’s the kid version of you still worried about? Do they always need to be in control?

We could just…stop filming every moment of our work and life?

Just casually reminding everyone that my book comes out in a few weeks, it REALLY helps if you preorder, and if you want a signed copy, you can get one shipped to you from Loyalty Books in DC 🖖🏽

Summarize your current/future works-in-progress in a few words: 1. Jane Austen meets Highlander 2. Dragons in a nineties mall 3. Silent films and necromancers 4. Final Fantasy + Star Trek

As someone who loves standup comedy and narrative, I find it so frustrating how comedy specials are dispersed across so many platforms. Even if you’re able to purchase a media file directly from the artist, it has to be watched on some weird online player. I just want a CD or DVD.

Something about listening to Sarah Harmer always feels perfect to me

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

All the more reason to develop a Luddite praxis in education:

People have always called me a “machine” when it comes to writing. Words like prolific sometimes have the connotation of “bad writing.” The truth is that I write a lot because it feels like I’ll die if I don’t, and I’m not ready for that yet.

It’s 1992. You are in a Radio Shack, browsing the computer corner. The Sierra games have vibrant covers. Soon, you’ll get a Yogen Früz. There is no soundtrack—just voices in the mall. Will you rent a video? Or talk about the future in someone’s parents’ rumpus room? Anything is possible.

Grab it now. You will be transformed.

Great news! 🗞️ Our provincial budget is packed with savings to allow the UCP spending spree to continue while you get nothing! 1⃣ Clawbacks for disabled Albertans 2⃣ Seniors Income supplement 3⃣ Higher municipal property taxes! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #abpoli #UCPCorruption

Apparently I have a lot of dicks in my feed tonight and I'm kind of enjoying it. If more men stayed home and jacked off, there would be no more wars.

Write the kind of sweet-ass book that will immediately get banned in Alberta. You owe it to yourself.

In the last decade, the Atlantic has not platformed a single trans person to speak about issues affecting them or the broader trans community. Not a single one. Yet, they have monthly screeds by Helen Lewis and endless money to pay random transphobic grifters to pump stuff like this out.

we're all just critters crossing the multi-lane highway of life
