Also bars tend not to allow people in if they're under a certain age due to liquor licensing laws. This is not a real issue, you are a Republican internally

Why does no one remember being a teenager, my GOD It's actually really important that teenagers are exposed to positive expressions of sexuality/taught about safe sex. It's basic safety! It's basic mental health! No 15 year old is going to die if they see a guy in leather at pride. Christ

I've been jumpscared by @realmundiriki.bsky.social

But if all you do is attack the Democratic Party while Black leaders are being targeted, Black voting rights are being dismantled, Black political power is under assault, and HBCUs are under attack, then don’t expect me to treat you any differently than I treat Trump and his MAGA acolytes.

I know a lot of people disabled by chronic pain but in the US they are offered actual heavy duty pain medication, gabapentin, ketamine infusions, etc and in Europe they get uh. Tylenol

My favorite bit of the conference this week was someone with a PhD in the field saying how in the hell did you get on that topic I'm fascinated

Homophobia doesn't appear to exist in the North America of the HR TV universe and this makes Scott better because he's just being a closet case for no visible benefit

Scott Hunter: A lot of people depend on me Also Scott Hunter: Fucks up his multi million dollar franchise by not coming out Scott they're depending on you to not do that

Skip are objectively more interesting than Hollanov because Scott literally did not have to do all of that

I memorized the entirety of Richard III back when I was 16 but that's because I had body dysmorphia and an affection for the hunchback, can't do more than now is the winter of our discontent these days

My father (lunatic) made his children memorize two poems 1. The Owl and the Pussycat 2. The Destruction of Sennacherib

I wrote nearly 40,000 words this week Unfortunately it was heated rivalry fanfic and not thesis

It’s not a plot hole that Elmo has been 3 years old for 50 years. He was bitten by The Count, willingly. Elmo asked for the Dark Gift

As a medievalist I am making a loud sound but I'm not sure if that's screaming, laughing, ebullient vomiting, or just pointing at this alleged PhD and making chattering noises like a cat spotting a moth

Well this is,..a misunderstanding,,....oral cultures love writing because freezing a specific narrative justifies dynasties, histories, lineage, etc. Very useful You are thinking of Albert Lord, who was Weird about the written word in a way his informants weren't

This is an excellent rule for storytelling but also implies that Philip Pullman witnessed the death of God as a boy.

It is important for everyone to know that there exists a combined approximately three hours of @jamellebouie.net talking about bad hedgehog movies with verve and passion

Joe Hill said in an interview that his dad played Mambo No 5 so much that he injured himself jumping out of a window to get away from the sound and that tracks with this image perfectly

Friend on discord showed me this and I thought a few people who enjoyed this person's comics might like to know how they post over on the Hitler site.

I have had to convince more than several individuals that they will be insta deported and banned for several years if they apply for asylum as Americans Please if you are scared move to an urban area in blue state first. Or look into student visa processes. Don't... that

My "being a Obama-Clinton-Biden-Harris voter makes me a better person than you" shirt answers all the questions raised by the shirt, motherfuckers.

Ya the reason I'm taking all this in stride is because unlike most of this site I didn't want Trump to win the 2024 election over that bitch Holocaust Harris so I'm not seething with guilt about my convictions like so many of you clearly are.

You might remember Buffalo hitting the national zeitgeist in 2020, when the BPD gave an old man a brain injury for the crime of thinking racism is bad www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020...

The new lie they're giving is that he asked to be dropped off there for coffee before he went home and they were just doing what he asked. The Timmy's was closed and had been for hours

I had a Chinese-American roommate in college and we were horrified at each other because 1. I didn't know what a rice cooker was 2. She didn't know how to make stovetop white rice We consumed similar amounts of rice. Still have existential bafflement over our mutual mirror inabilities

Ya'll know Vivek Ramaswamy's poll numbers are going to drop when voters learn he's lost access to the Heart of Lorkhan, right?

how to tell this guy that if he thinks he speaks "conversational old norse" he does not know enough about old norse to skip the introductory class

One of the old Norwegian law codes says calling someone a troll is a fineable offense (because women credibly accused of being trolls had to be dragged out to the beach and executed by a single axe blow to the spine)

I need to point out that a lot of Icelandic novels are absolutely garbage and are only on the market because they're in Icelandic. If you write a novel in icelandic, it will probably be published Source: Arnaldur Indriðason exists

Entire point of The Dragon or The Mound Dweller is that the hoarding removes the fancy sword from circulation. The Hero is reinserting capital (sword) into the economy in order to make more of it (at swordpoint)

sólveig anna going on TV and celebrating that her son is a fascist politician probably means she should stop working for the union that is mainly low wage immigrant workers, or at least apologize to said son for her terrible parenting

And in the severe category: lots of kids with genetic diseases that would have been fatal even 10 years ago are now surviving past infancy. the irregular neurodevelopmental constellation overlaps or is comorbid with autism. More autism diagnoses = evidence of the miracle of modern medicine

my wife has informed me she's divorcing me for the morphine-addled 6'8 infected alpha in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple which I feel is quite a fair decision

Given that Gaiman is trying to slink his way back into relevance I must remind everyone that his Norse Mythology is completely unnecessary

#medievalsky this is probably impossible but does anyone know where I can find a copy of James W. Marchand, "The Allegories in the Old Norse Veraldar Saga" Michigan Germanic Studies 1, 1, 1975?

doing a humanities doctorate really makes one sympathize with george rr martin

It's all kinds of disturbing how often I keep coming across people who have turned, "Jeffrey Epstein ran an elite pedophile ring," into, "Israel ran an elite pedophile ring." They're doing Protocols of the Elders of Zion antisemitism to deflect blame from whole lot of powerful people, but leftishly.

feeling like this lately

I genuinely do not know what to do. I have wasted the past fifteen years of my life for no benefit. I feel fucking insane

the government of Iceland has decided they're stripping funded places for all non-EEA students. current estimates are that I will have to pay upwards of $40,000 to finish my doctorate so I guess I'm not finishing my doctorate 🥲 thanks @haskoliislands.bsky.social for advocating for your students!!

this is missing the point to a huge degree but seriously the people murdered by ICE were named "good" and "pretty" at what point does one recognize what the universe is trying to say there

shout-out to my other enby norsists love your work but. man. I have to think about that in my real life. I want to spend my academic life thinking about, like, anything else

yes I am a nonbinary person in Norse studies no I don't do absolutely anything on gender no not even that I know you're about to bring up the fucking horse no no NO yes we exist

Gobber definitely had at least one threeway with Valka and Stoick
