Obviously he’s satan and completely irredeemable, so don’t take this the wrong way, but he looks so much better without makeup. He just looks like a normal old man instead of the world’s worst clown

I almost wish I hadn't edited this book so I could read it again for the first time because, dear LORDT, there's been few weeks in my career more taxing than this one (yes, I know it's only Tuesday). I need it now

is anyone else going crazy with how the icons for doc and pdf files look exactly the same in up-to-date Tahoe Mac IOS?

Turns out I was thinking of luge doubles. Yall were not helpful for my to track down this very important info 😑

Dream blunt rotation

I say this regularly. People use performative as a substitute for 'inauthentic' and we could all just say the words we mean to say. Erving Goffman helps us to understand that we perform all of the time in real life. Life itself is often a performance of self.

Also, if we think of performative in the Austinian/Butlerian sense, performative acts bring reality into being. It makes even less sense how people use it to mean fake

I mean, for some people it may feel a lot safer to hear some 55 year old man poorly lip-sync to the one hit song he had 30 years ago than to potentially expose themselves to a single word of Spanish.

100% this. This is a brilliant metaphor.

Sometimes email responses take a minute, sometimes they take an hour and often you don't know which is which until you're writing it 😅 #WPALife

Happy Superb Owl Day to all who celebrate. Happy Benito is Deliriously Handsome Day to me

America the Beautiful is a much better song than The Star-Spangled Banner and one of the goals of Woke 2 ought to be using it as the national anthem instead of

I love all the AI commercials telling viewers about shortcuts for life during the Olympics, a sporting event famously known for athletes who have put the hard work in for decades to get where they are. Just perfect.

Periodic reminder that the first Europen language to be spoken in what is now the United States was Spanish.

Technically two injections and 4 pills, but that’s neither here nor there. This is tremendous

Ghost of Emily Brontë: am I remembered? Me: yes, a new Wuthering Heights is coming out now Brontë: and does it look good? Me: no, it looks like it will be an almost unbearable saga of confusingly sexy suffering for everyone involved Brontë: I love it.

What’s the name of the Olympic event where the guys cuddle while going down the mountain? Bc I want to make sure I watch that one

100% Foucault found dead in a ditch

Don’t know how many more examples it’s going to take for people to realize that billionaires are an existential threat to democracy and its institutions.

I consider myself to be up on pop culture and if you had asked me, I would've guessed The Kelly Clarkson Show had been on for maximum 3 years. 2019-now is simultaneously the longest and the fastest stretch of time ever

I don’t care about your little groundhog and his shadow. Not the day after Lauryn Hill crushed it at the Grammys. I’ll be riding this high all day

Five best vegetables: in-season beefsteak tomatoes, kuri squash, romanesco, arugula, and asparagus.

Larry Summers, seen here somehow managing to have the worst gender politics in the room while in a one on one conversation with JEFFREY FUCKING EPSTEIN.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: 1. The Image in 20th-Century American Poetry 2. Integrating Text and Design 3.) History of the English Language (WHICH I TEACH NOW <3) 4.) The Uses of Literacy 5.) Modern Art and Global Modernity

If I could go back, I would've far preferred a SLAC to the large institution I attended for undergrad. Teaching at a SLAC has converted me. One thing that took me by surprise is that with financial aid packages, SLACs are sometimes--often, even--more affordable than your large state schools.

My provost sends a weekly newsletter that’s usually quite long and detailed and a bit silly and this week it was basically “it’s too damn cold and I’ve got shit to do. Don’t email me.” I’m screaming 😂😂

We can't wait to welcome the Class of 2030 to the Muhlenberg community! 🎉 Congratulations to the new Mules who received their admissions decisions today.

What happens when you refuse to stop advocating for trans students in the face of administrative retaliation? Well, when threats & surveillance don't work, they try to shame you into dropping the case by exposing that you're a survivor of childhood sexual assault. #TeamRhetoric #CCCC #TransRhetorics

Have fun being divorced and miserable by the time you hit 30

Agreed

~sounds of ENG 250~ "Yes, this is a reference to a glory hole. If you don't know what that is, look it up. That's your homework for the weekend." and "Daniel Radcliffe played Ginsberg in a Kill Your Darlings so if you ever wanted to see Harry Potter bottoming, here's your chance."

Gayer**

This is a story about how my university attempted to shame me into dropping a court case, in which I'm advocating for my transgender students, by outing me as a childhood sexual assault survivor. Big Epstein energy. And all this cruelty was funded by your tax dollars.

Ilhan really was about to fight this MFer. Incredible

it is beautiful how we are having another moment of Bluesky unity. everybody basking in the glow of how Ilhan Omar was very visibly gonna punch that dude in the mouth

I'm so thankful I'm not an ABD who desperately needs a job for survival because this year's job market in CompRhet is rough. FAR fewer jobs than when I first went on the market in 2019, and some of the salaries being advertised are insulting

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

Gay people should not have to shovel snow. we’ve been through enough

🥹 thanks for the amplification Coalition! It means a lot. So much love went into this. The theories and stories and possibilities are all there for us to engage. I hope folks find it a useful collection🤓

This #FeministFridays, we congratulate editors @timothyoleksiak.bsky.social & @joshuabarsczewski.bsky.social and all the contributing authors on the publication of Adequate: Rewriting the Logics of Success in Rhetoric and Composition with @upcolorado.bsky.social 👏 📙 upcolorado.com/utah-state-u...

It’s far too early in the semester for my neckbeard to be this out of control. When is spring break???

As a storm approaches, I’ll once again say that I can’t believe we as a society have basically stolen snow days from children. 😭 have we not already robbed them of enough???

Saving this to read for later but my reaction to the headline is:

Author copy arrived yesterday! Adequate, edited by @timothyoleksiak.bsky.social and @joshuabarsczewski.bsky.social I'm very proud of this chapter, nearly three years in the making 😊

This is what he's good at. Give him a late night slot and let someone else be Pres.
