I’m sad

RIP Thrasymachus. You would have loved the last century or so

Shiver with flavor!

I'm begging for Calvinists to add an ounce of witchcraft to their politics.

Seinfeld episode The Pen, with the exact same script and actors, but directed by David Lynch and scored by Angelo Badalamenti

“I am in way over my head”

The more I think about this the more annoying it is. One of the earliest realizations I had reading ancient literature was “wow these people with whom I share basically no experiences, assumptions, or values are just like me”

On the off chance that Uncle Billy remembers what he did with the $8000, do you think Potter would even bother coming up with an explanation when confronted about it?

This was a good joke

There are a lot of trans people who are broke and jobless right now

Tiny Tim, who did not die, swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.

It’s annoying that all my turn ons are just “men (and sometimes women) treating me badly”

I wanna do really cliche sex role plays

I think there’s a pretty significant portion of Americans who think that getting raped is just part of going to prison. And that people who do get raped in prison deserve it. And I bet there’s a pretty big overlap between those people and people who hate trans people

It’s not enough that I am allowed to have my opinion and it’s not enough to face no criticism for that opinion. I must be praised and rewarded for my opinion. That’s free speech

So that’s like 7 or 8 Mars Volta songs?

Everyone who pretended to be Defector’s last intern is gone

I wrote an essay about how Socrates is demonic and my TA suggested I read the sources more carefully and corrected the spelling to “daimon.” Will the religious discrimination in this country never end???

Sidebar: has he asked for forgiveness?

I just feel like we’re sleeping on the “Christo-“ part of Christo-fascism sometimes idk

I typed out like three posts about how even though the whole OU essay is an obvious grift we should still pay attention to the stuff about Satan and the demonic but then I deleted it

Oprah also fucked me (and I’m assuming many others) up by putting on that sensationalist “Pregnant Man!” episode and treating him like a freak show instead of just explaining what a trans person is

How do people not see that the entire OU essay thing is just an attempt by this girl and the Turning Point chapter to turn her into another Riley Gaines grifting on trying to push trans people out of society?

For my newsletter, I wrote about that college essay scandal that's gone viral and what everyone is seeming to miss: It's about ATTACKING TRANS PEOPLE!!! www.burnsnotice.com/that-viral-e...

It does not make one iota of a difference to me whether Die Hard is or is not a Christmas movie

Scorpio: You will have a wonderful realization and then a few really bad ones and then another pretty good one, but not so good it gets you outta the red. Still, one of your best weeks yet.

This is the best of bad options imo. I learned this the hard way as TA. I’m just glad there wasn’t the same kind of right-wing anti-higher ed media apparatus then

Record some albums. Maybe finally work on turning my dissertation into a book

Unless Drew Thorpe picked up an equally charming hobby while rehabbing from TJ, I think it’s safe to say the White Sox lost that trade

Lol

I was going to quote post Moira Donegan to say that I put up and take down trees in my house whenever I feel like it, but quote posts are disabled

I can’t sleep. Can’t stop coughing

Abolish the CIA

I should have said Sleater-Kinney! But idk what I’d take out

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve seen: The Mars Volta The Walkmen Herbie Hancock B.B. King Elvis Costello

Low keys on your goat is lowkey goated when hanging your personal items on farm animals is the vibe

kids are never too young to learn how evil jerry reinsdorf is

It’s really a shame that the fantastic phrase “Belle of the ball at the no loads refused party” is now going to be forever associated with that man

Milky Wad or Milky Wax

My propositions serve as elucidations in the following way: anyone who understands me eventually recognizes them as nonsensical, when he has used them—as steps—to climb beyond them. (He must, so to speak, throw the sandwich after he has eaten some of it.) - Wittgenstein

Thin sliced seitan with the appropriate seasoning is very close to gyro meat and delicious

I love gluten

One thing I love about Morrowind is that you can maxed out on a skill like long blade, but still on 5 for short blade. You can be the worlds greatest fighter, but shorten the blade a little and you’re suddenly so comically inept you can’t even reliably hit your target

repost if you want to build international communism or want a mean dyke to cover you in bruises and milk your prostate

Downloaded faceapp again. That’s how it’s going

I get why it’s important to point out that ICE is doing violence to US citizens, but we should always keep in mind that even if they were scrupulously careful about only targeting non-citizens, it would still be reprehensible
