Spellcheck is insisting I mean circumsised whenever I write circumscribed and I'm very close to just leaving it in at this point

Why is writing an abstract so fucking hard

#research #highered #academicsky

Any academics here that could lend me some wisdom about trying to publish a paper that relies heavily on sources only available through Wayback/the Internet Archive, given frequent efforts to obliterate the Internet Archive? Is this a futile project?

Law's a Drag are hosting a new cabaret: 💥 Hate Crimes Live! 💥 Crimes motivated by hostility towards queer people, trans people, and disabled people are now "aggravated offences." What does this mean? How does this help these communities? Does it go far enough? www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hate-crime...

Ok this is a truly great tweet

A seated low row is fucking delicious. I'm feeling parts of my back I've never felt before

Consider yourself SCHOOLED! Overjoyed to be invited to perform with @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social for Packin Heat's "Get Schooled" Gun Show - celebrating educators who also perform in drag! Our @lawsadrag.bsky.social "law school redux" piece absolutely ate 📸 by the talented @dannehgleave.bsky.social

Chest tape and muscle tees ordered. Huddersfield Leisure Centre is about to get a whole lot frutier

That AI isn't yet "good enough" to mark students' essays ought to be beside the point. Outsourcing such tasks to AI is fundamentally incompatible with the intellectual engagement between student and professor that should be central to higher education. /1 www.cam.ac.uk/stories/ai-u...

Cyberpunk Edgerunners is so fucking good???? Why did I put off watching this

Eating this is the only thing I can be expected to do in 30⁰ heat

32⁰ fuck me

liking comments trying to beef with you instead of replying >>>>

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

Please can everyone manifest my girlfriend getting one of the two teaching positions she applied for this week

What the fuck

> struggling to focus studying at home > too late to go to campus > walk 20 mins to local coffee shop > wifi is down > walk to other coffee shop > no tables > go home > sweaty, tired, still haven't made any progress > home wifi cuts out > cry

This is almost certainly going to end in violence being used against trans people, and anyone considered gender nonconforming

Philosophers writing about sexual ethics, I am BEGGING you: Actually read what feminist philosophers have been writing for the past 40 years before you sound off. People keep repeating the same positions like they think they invented them, it's making me crazy

the video of the robot dancing to Billie Jean for a whole 10 seconds before eating shit and being dragged off stage is cracking me UP

Supervision done, didn't cry, back to bed ❤️

they're replacing libraries with a guy who just says shit

Every day I do my research and think, "there can't possibly be another case of obstetric violence as harrowing as this" and every day I am proven wrong.

You may have read about the woman who gave birth in a Brooklyn courtroom Friday night while waiting to be arraigned. I spoke to an attorney who saw the whole thing, and says it was much worse than has previously been reported, a scene of "complete violence." hellgatenyc.com/birth-in-bro...

I can still fix it.

This is peak AI mania: identify a task that has long been well- and cheaply-handled by human beings, pay to use an LLM (which is ill-suited for the task), and be completely shocked when it goes disastrously.

baby academic's first article: "this article aims to make an original contribution to knowledge within this field :) " veteran academic article: "we must accept nothing less than the total liberatory reordering of social life: in short, we must fight, dethrone, and kill, god"

every time “birth rates” come up in the discourse eventually someone remembers its because teenagers arent really getting pregnant anymore and then we all go “oh yea” until we forget again a few weeks later and start all over again

And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you *know*. That the bourgeois are not human.

I will never know such comfort

I check all my citations when writing. I check them again during the copy edit, and same when copy editing anyone else's work. I track down quoted citations to check their accuracy in the secondary source. I check translations. It's respect for my readers & for the broad field of knowledge.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.

Friend, colleague and menace @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social and I were invited by Packin Heat to perform at The Gun Show, Wharf Chambers, Leeds. Theme was "GET SCHOOLED" so Fox did messy fun chemistry, I did the Dean from Community, and jointly we did our Illegally Blonde number! 🫦

I love the Queer Judgments book (eds Nuno Ferreira, Maria Federica Moscati, Senthorun Raj): great insights, informative, creative, great intro to queering judgments. Also cheap for downloads: counterpress.org.uk/publications... @senthorun.bsky.social

Obviously it's very easy to critique the actions of activists who are doing *something* from the comfort of your bed, but are the protestors throwing dildos outside of ICE facilities, and seemingly having a really good time doing so, aware of how insanely tactless they are being towards detainees

What are some cool platforms that people are using for blogs/writting *other* than Substack? The last time I had a blog it was on Blogger but that seems pretty obsolete now

thankfully I've never read a book

New dentist has one of the Ice Age films at 100 volume in the waiting room and another room has been blasting Hey Ya! by OutKast over insanely loud drilling noises. This is like, every child's worst idea of the dentist.

Trying not to be jealous of my friend with -89% body fat looking more shredded than me after one day in the gym

Finally watching Project Hail Mary. Didn't seem like my kinda film but seeing clips of that adorable little rock alien has changed my mind
