Oh look, Kid Rock as the poster child of why DEI is important: Without DEI, were left with a washed up white guy getting handed a headliner because he's hateful and white, vs a wildly successful and talented Puerto Rican who earned his top spot.

Ovid’s Metamorphoses:

Iconic moment as he says "God Bless América" and then names every country in South, Central, and North america in order For the rest of the hemisphere, América doesn't mean the U.S. It means evveeerrybody

Exactly my thoughts too. Why do they need all the commercials if it's so great and everyone is using it? Oh right, because it sucks and dulls humanity.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Wow this ice skating had me at the edge of my seat! Congrats teams USA, Japan and Italy!!

My back hurts looking at these speed skaters in the Olympics! Wow

Here I am, enjoying the Olympic women's hockey game, and then the camera pans to JD Vance. Ugh

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Reposting this on social media...So I guess I'll consider that part of the reason it's not in the "kill" category. 🤷‍♀️

BAD BUNNY WINS ALBUM OF THE YEAR #GRAMMYs

“No one is illegal on stolen land.” yes Billie

Can't wait to see the “ Truth “ social post about how Bad Bubby has no talented and isn't handsome. Because both are lies.

Bad Bunny!!

Yay, Olivia Dean!! Best new artist!! #Grammys

The threat of AI is not some fantastical sci-fi spin of “Machine becomes sentient and takes over humanity” but rather “Humanity willingly gives up sentience to become a machine.” Artificial Intelligence encourages us to have artificial humanity.

Cleverness is not wisdom. Euripides Bakkhai Tr. by Anne Carson #booksky #books

With all the talk about the upcoming Wuthering Heights movie, I fear I may have to—finally, and at long last—read the actual book for the first time in my life. Thanks, Pop Culture! 😒

R.I.P. Dante Alighieri, you would have loved this protester’s sign. #DivineComedy

With a cross between Call of Duty LARPing and cherry-picked Bible passages, ICE and DHS recruitment ads appeal to the violence-craving low-ambition men who use a warped version of Christianity to feel validated and protected from accountability.

Fucking wild that I have errands to run and bills to pay today, and the ever-churning list of “to-dos” needs to be taken care of, while my government murders people in the street or kidnaps others to send them, gods knows where.

Scared men who crave power have done so much damage for so long. It's time to tear down institutions that protect men like this and build systems that actually protect people. ICE isn’t something that can be fixed. ICE is a rot that needs to be removed to have a healthy society.

Yeah!! Let’s go Minnesota Frost!! 💜🏒 #pwhl

As an Aquarius, this explains a lot of my behavior

Magic happens when we're allowed to look at myths—including stories from scripture—in a way other than what is canonically accepted. More in this essay:

Happy Aquarius season! ♒ For us in the Northern Hemisphere. We’re almost to the mid-point of winter. There’s a light at the end of this frozen tunnel.

Glory grows guilty of detested crimes

Go Sirens! 🏒 #pwhl

Weekend Reading: Oxford Soju Club by Jinwoo Park! North Korean spies, U.S. CIA agents, and a South Korean restaurateur. A spy novel about identity, diaspora, and exploring what loyalties “home" raises. I finished this slim (about 220 pages) in two days! I definitely recommend! #booksky

“I miss actual buttons,” I say as I have to repeatedly finger my humidifier to FINALLY turn it off.

Go Sirens! 🔊 🏒

I just finished "The Cleopatras" by Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones and really enjoyed it! Before reading this, I was only familiar with Cleopatra VII, the famous last queen of Egypt and infamous thanks to Roman propaganda. #booksky

I’ve restricted myself to only checking social media, breaking news and politics to the 3pm hour so that way I can stay informed, but attempt to stay sane. It’s un-fucking-believable what can happen in 24 hours.

Another great day for Women’s Hockey! 🏒 I’m rooting for Vancouver today!

CBS ain’t going to let silly things like facts and empirical data bring down the ✨vibes✨

Yeeeah Frost!! Today was a good day to watch hockey!

what the fuck is this helmet? Ugh

O, what damned minutes

Doth he still rage? [Exit Bigot.]

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Another mass shooting, this time at Brown. 2 dead, 8 injured. MAGA & Corporate media waiting to ID the shooter but we know the drill •Immigrant—> Expand ICE •Muslim—> Expand Muslim ban •Black—> Expand prisons & police •White—> Troubled lone wolf with rough childhood And still 0 action on gun safety

I think about this quote from the play Orestes by Euripides as we move further into this presidential administration. The gigantic cross on the neck doesn't hide the evil inside. Neither does the virtue signaling post about Christianity from a war-mongering bro. Something is truly broken.

📽️WATCH: Hades II is nominated for Best Music at The Game Awards, thanks to pieces like Mountain of the Gods.🎼 Composer @darrenkorb.bsky.social teamed with @awintory.bsky.social and a huge orchestra at world-famous Abbey Road Studios to create this majestic sound! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZYW...

For God’s sake, lords, give signal to the fight.

Black Friday! The day we buy things we don’t need to impress people we don’t like with money we don’t have—all the day after giving gratitude for what we already have. Makes Perfect Sense.😐 IF you shop today, shop local, shop small biz, shop minority owned, or shop women owned.

I'm not on here much, but I am so excited to share the cover of my forthcoming Catullus translation, featuring an amazing painting by Eduardo Mata Icasa (called "Nature of Emptiness"). As soon as I saw the painting, I knew no other work of art could more perfectly capture how I think about Catullus.

Sure would be nice if democrats learned a thing or two from Mamdani’s meeting with Trump.

New photos of the East Wing's demolition have emerged. It looks as though the White House, the seat of power in the US, has suffered a traumatic amputation. And instead of blood lost, the US is losing integrity, the respect of other nations, and the trust of its own citizens.
