Met the worst kind of gay tonight—the kind that lacks empathy, reveals ignorance, seems to have an endless supply of thoughts on the thing he’s ignorant about, interrupts you while you’re speaking, and then can’t catch a clue when you try to distance yourself from talking to them.

Search yer chimera roll 4 hell

Want

This combination of words short circuited my brain.

Did everyone on Bluesky stop labeling their adult content, or what is going on? I feel like my "Discover" feed has recently become all hog, no forewarning.

Have you ever suddenly developed a sharp pain on the lower back side of your tongue and then in an attempt to understand better what was going on spent a disproportionate amount of time at the mirror trying to photograph it?

Sometimes I think about how supremely f*cked we all are now and how this asshat was able to win over religious zealots like my mom simply because she's a one-issue voter who thought he'd deliver her an outright ban on abortion. We really need a better education system in the United States.

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Bride” gives strong Damien Chazelle “Babylon” vibes but with 700% more “Bartleby, The Scrivener” and maybe the most cringe inducing line delivery of “me too” ever put to screen.

What brainrot has stricken so many to believe it's okay to take speakerphone calls or facetime or listen to music and/or videos without headphones in coffee shops and other public (yet enclosed) spaces?

Get out there and vote! Let’s get @nidaallam.bsky.social across the finish line, North Carolina 4th Congressional District!

Real?

From AAUP NC President Belle Boggs's blog, an explanation of the importance of academic freedom and a call to sign our petition to the UNC BOG not to pass the proposed Code revisions frogtroubletimes.substack.com/p/academic-f...

What to make of a night out with friends who joke early on that my nice coat will get stolen because I’m letting people who are cold wear it, and then later that night my nice coat gets stolen from out of a bar’s coat check.

They knew exactly what they were doing.

“Abolishing gender programs & the lessons they have taught, will, Trump & his acolytes hope, undermine our ability not just to condemn, but also to critically analyze the policies & practices they want to impose.” Must Read by Joan Scott, member of the AAUP’s Committee on Academic Freedom.

Gonna start saying “dead ass” in class when I really like a student’s comment.

American tear gas factories include: Combined Systems in Jamestown, PA. Non-Lethal Technologies in Duluth, Georgia. Defense Technology in Casper, Wyoming.

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control. “It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

Lot of Dude-Bro and Buddy-Pal overlap in this study. The South-East and PNW regions appear not to have language yet for male friendship. Notably missing terms of endearment and opportunities for future research include: "man," "my guy," "broseph," "comrade of the broletariat" and "big boy."

I’ve never been colder in my life. Keep adding layers on top of layers and hats on top of hats.

I’m really enjoying the new Mel Brooks documentary but was not emotionally prepared for Rob Reiner and David Lynch’s appearances.

This lady is a diva.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Co-signing this review. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple was remarkable!

Is he… you know? Having electrical issues?

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

I'm in panicked syllabus finalizing mode and wondering if any of my (creative writing) friends have suggestions for the best short essay (or writing of any sort) that will prepare a student for best practices and/or approaches to in-class workshopping of peer writing. Thoughts/suggestions welcome!

If you are an academic working in the United States, please join AAUP to fight back against the countless disastrous violations to academic freedom that risk the safety of scholars and students alike: www.aaup.org/join

Please consider signing the petition to UNC system president Peter Hans asking that he reconsider the recent decision to publish faculty syllabi, which violates our academic freedom and poses clear and unnecessary risk to our students, faculty, and community: actionnetwork.org/petitions/pr...

My bluesky account is just going to be Uncle Monte content for a while.

Uncle Monte was an asshole and a pervert. He loved to scream incessantly, eat plants we loved, vomit prolifically, stick his head in a shoe and breathe deeply, and have his butt slapped vigorously. He was the strangest cat I’ve ever known, and I will miss him immensely. Back to outer space, lil guy.

My cat, Uncle Monte, is really sick, and it’s hitting me hard. Give your fur babies all the love you can.

A fling of sand pipers hunt crustaceans at sunset on New Year’s Day.

Greetings to you from the beach!

Did a mini Bob Ross paint-by-numbers project, but for some reason I thought he was holding a spatula instead of a paintbrush. Happy 2026!

a holiday miracle

If you haven’t been terrorized by an elderly man breaking into your house late last night, please allow me.

Ginger Pear Galette.

Candy that ginger.

For the other present I wrapped, I used a thrifted art book for the paper and performed some chaos ribbon work. Tis the season to lean into whatever gives you joy.

I’ve officially gone down the crafting rabbit hole—made an accordion style scrapped Christmas wrapping paper.

It’s that time of year again! (the time of year when my damaged toe nail falls off, which happens once every six months)

Spent some time holiday crafting with friends. This is Herbie the radish man, who makes sure the fire does not burn Santa on his way down the chimney!

It’s the entire point. There’s no plan to make this meaningful for students. No plan to use it administratively. Its design and implementation signals its only real intent. It’s best and easiest use case is for systematic harassment and to scare faculty into complying in advance.

We're now accepting submissions for the 2026 @scmstudies.bsky.social AFM SIG Early Career Scholar Essay Award 🎉 This award recognizes exceptional work from emerging scholars in the broad areas of pornographic and adult media. 🧵Check below for more details!

This is the ideal Bucket Boy. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
