kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

I think it’s at least interesting how many of the same people who bristle at eminent domain enthusiastically support megaprojects like nationwide high-speed rail. Not to say private manufacture is equivalent to public works, but I wonder how much the distinction matters to the displaced.

Tonight let's shake our tails

doffing my gay apparel

Much love to my lefties but I’m getting genuinely depressed reading some of the dumbass takes in the quote tweets

Taco Tuesday. #SupportMexico.

starbucks cashier responded “excellent choice” to my coffee order

everyone get into lee edelman NOW

holding off on deleting my twitter until hall monitor levels get a bit lower here

Are better people here yet?

Reading Paul Schrader’s book on transcendental style and he talks about the pact made by moviegoers, that like a church service one does not leave half an hour in because they’re bored. Sort of gets at my frustration with audiences holding work at arms length, giggling as if they know better

One time I took [redacted] and spent the whole time thinking about how profound love laugh love is. harden your hearts to fb mom wisdom at your own peril

OK let’s post some bluesks 😼

I independently came up with Discipline and Punish as an 11 year old when I noted the structural similarities between the school tycoon and prison tycoon PC games

Truly was not prepared for how fucking dead this place is holy shit
