He killed her, because guys like this become absolutely uncontrollably enraged when anyone, but especially a woman, resists their power. Check his background, guarantee you he's an abuser.

Our government is at war against us. For wanting a rape investigation. For calling for gun control. For being gay or lesbian. For being female. For being trans. For questioning white history. For saying “white.” For rebuking violence and murder. For valuing diversity. For protecting children.

Fuck them up, Gov. Walz. Fuck. Them. Up.

“To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis” Mayor Jacob Frey

ABOLISH, INVESTIGATE, PROSECUTE ICE.

I've always been a fan of Wiki (not that I want students quoting it as a source) as the religious studies topics usually have good biblios. Don't know about the science side of Wiki but it's true--with how many journals are AI articles now, human powered curating and editing has real value now.

Just finished Stranger Things s5. As a D&D nerd I'm feeling all sorts of feels right now.😭❤️🤘

Me, every day.

this = the problem w/ X. by turning it into 4chan w/ virality distribution the platform turns everything into a meme. so it must strip away almost all context & imbue it w/ intense amounts of nihilism or so many layers of irony that there's no humanity anymore. it's a great dehumanization machine

Everyone over 12 years old needs to know how to reverse Google image search. Assume every image you see is a lie or AI and you'll be taking the first steps to Information Literacy.

Personally, I think it's unfair for a Dr to schedule a cholesterol test in early January. Like I've eaten anything but carbs, dairy, meat, and sweets in the last two weeks 😂 I don't think today's Kale salad is going to make a dent

If 2025 didn't stop you nothing will

Saying goodbye to 2025, a compilation

1/ This advertisement is dangerous. ICE agents are shown in full paramilitary gear (helmets, rifles, tactical vests) despite ICE being a civil immigration enforcement agency, not a military force.

If we're talking true, peak MTV, every Duran Duran video is a tie 😁

Just my annual reminder that if you are indeed going out tonight, tip your servers absurdly well. Believe me when I tell you that working New Years Eve (as a server, bartender, hostess, dancer, etc) is the ninth circle of hell.

The poet Gregory Corso came up to me in Vineria in Rome and asked if I could "spare some Lira for a fellow expat?" (This resulted in my poem "Gregory Corso Owes Me Eight Dollars")

So, where are the Epstein Files?

Let's not do the "2025 in Review" articles and segments. It was 300+ days of gaslighting, horror, cruelty, violence, hatred, and heartbreak. We watched the final death rattle of democracy, decency, and sanity. I can't say "It'll be better" bc it won't be. How about let's hope it won't get worse.

Writing doesn't just help you process your thoughts. Neuroscientists have found it physically changes your brain in ways that build resilience and help you handle everyday stress and challenges.

Honest to God what the fuck are these people smoking?? He is THE LEAST RELIGIOUS president we've ever had, had never gone to church in his time in the WH (not even for optics), and hasn't enacted one law that Jesus would approve of. I can't believe how truly delusional his followers are.

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

I'm teaching a course called "The Bible and Misinformation" next semester. The course will focus on information literacy skills, using the Bible as a focus. What topics would you consider the most interesting/relevant to include?

COVID really opened my eyes. We had two paths ahead of us, and as soon as we took a single step towards THINKING about an equitable world, the rich put their full force into stopping it. They loath humanity.

So far, the only outlet that has an accurate Brigitte Bardot obit headline is @aljazeera.com:

We’re just going to produce entire generations unable to write or read aren’t we

perfect metaphors don’t exis—

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

Here’s to 2026

I like this image.

this holiday trump took time away from his wife, 5 kids, and 11 grandkids to post a tsunami of text about a dead pedophile that he is definitely not at all concerned about

I may have high standards but I feel as though the President of the United States should be able to locate a country on a map before he bombs people inside it

it me

Every person should watch and know how their tax dollars are being spent to torture and sexually abuse people. The Full CECOT Episode CBS Tried to Ban www.qasimrashid.com/p/watch-the-...

When your 15 year old neice is too old to put out silly milk and cookies for Santa, he gets miffed 😂

"ICE officials are also investigating the couple for other crimes. They were found with a substantial amount of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 'What are those luxury goods doing in their possession?' asked the ICE spokesman, taking a moment to adjust his mask."

This is the energy we need for 2026

Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather

Read these, I promise they will make you smile and laugh ❤️

Happy Festivus! We will now begin the airing of grievances.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

Here’s a gift link to this stunner Washpost story, quoting the 60 Minutes correspondent on the CECOT story, who accuses Bari Weiss of spiking the piece all because the Trump Administration wouldn’t comment. “Government silence is a statement, not a VETO.” wapo.st/3YL4T3D

not to mention they can't access stuff behind paywalls.

Wait until you hear that LLMs can only train on digitized/datafied info. Most of the FACTS scholars use are in archives/libraries. Less than 1% of archival colletions worldwide have been digitized. Also: lots of facts are not even in archives, but in the attics.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

I tell my students explicitly to NOT do this and then I explain why - full of hallucinations, stolen material, mischaracterizations.
