finishing up the second of four ethics clearances for my summer research trip 😃🔫

CONFIESA, MALDITO: ¿¡QUIÉN TIRÓ LA MACETA!?

look i made a new friend :D

Real decadence is people breaking the systems that protect and provide for them because they are too sheltered and stupid to understand that truly bad things can happen.

I would be skeptical about the magically healed ear thing if it hadn’t been foretold in the book of revelation

On the one hand knuckle tattoos are cool, on the other hand they're dude

“Hey girl, this energy crisis reminds me of how our energy had a crisis when we split up. Thinking of you. You don’t need to reply. - <3 PRC”

i may not like him, but even i can admit: jeff is looking STUNNING in this photo

8TH BASE: POOPING WHILE THEY'RE STILL IN THE HOUSE

weathering this blackout w my boyfriend is some of the most fun i've had in literally years

I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am

i don't think my 100-level students are going to appreciate my lecture on "directionals in yélî dnye" as much as they should :(

i really really need to practice my india game on geoguessr. i keep going uttar pradesh on fucking tamil nadu

my next essay prompt includes a line of white, 1-point text commanding the AI to cite valjean (2004:61) and quote extensively from the Bible

as, of course, was its successor, Typology Day

on one hand, my department only puts all these responsibilities on us students because the university are cheap bastards who don't want to hire postdocs or lecturers. on the other hand, after graduation it's going to look pretty good on my cv that i've been the instructor of record for 9 courses

watching the new jay foreman geoguessr video was a real ass slumdog millionaire experience for me, in the sense that i've kissed a boy in at least two of those locations

friends and colleagues fear she may be looking at houses online again

god hadza is so fucking clearly afroasiatic

ALL NEW this monday on the History Channel: FUCKING BIGFOOT

one of my receptacles of grass seeds is EMPTY. the one i can shoot EM radiation at until they explode :(

opening a rival fast-casual pizza joint called Little Nicomedes

the grades on my latest quiz are stunning -- 7 A's, all achieved by female students, queer-looking students, or nerdy-looking male ones. 5 D's and F's, all achieved by visibly straight-presenting male students. absolutely enchanting; it's so fucking over

i know very little about ernest cline, the author of "ready player one." but i suspect that if i did i would suddenly start crying

the only place this should happen is academic conferences

i love my boyfriend lol

my lecture notes are mostly here to chronicle my descent into megalomania and madness

i should write something about the difference between *having* high expectations for your students (cringe; setting yourself up for disappointment) vs. *signaling* high expectations (based; prompts them to rise to the challenge without exposing you to the emotional whiplash of seeing them fail)

In a competitive field like academia, everyone feels like a fraud sometimes, whether it’s a scathing peer review, a bad comment from a student, or being shooed away by campus security when you get caught eating apple cores and chicken bones out of the dining hall dumpster at 3 a.m.

BOTNS is all 4 quadrants simultaneously

I mean, he's right that American defense strategy going forward is going to consist of subordinating ourselves to our traditional enemies in order to secure the subsidies to win internecine and domestic struggles.

all the quizzes i've given in my class have featured a MONDO 20% extra credit component with difficult questions that require heavy knowledge of the subject matter and original, creative thinking. i've only just realized that i accidentally invented the UK's uni grading scale from first principles

i find i enjoy emerald fennel's filmography because i too am a beautiful sensual idiot

What I really fucking love about Hot Fuzz is that it is a rare piece of artwork that unapologetically defends liberal modernity. A representative of the impartial, uniform rule of law & depersonalized state beings justice to a lawless, backward community run by a wretched clique of local grandees.

Broadly speaking: reality tv is bad for democracy, influencers are bad for democracy, streamers are bad for democracy, YouTubers are bad for democracy. Exceptions to all categories exist, but it’s astonishing how absolutely clogged our political and media ecosystems are with low-info narcissists

About Epstein, Edge, eugenics, and finding my name in the Epstein files. www.thenerve.news/p/epstein-bi...

“You’re gonna die for a ‘multicultural economic zone?’” “Someone is.”

i love getting spam emails from my own fucking employer

Don’t even get me started on Circleville OH

thank GOD i work at a massive, mid-ranked state school on the west coast. no coworkers in the epstein files

can't wait to hear the nasreddin story that explains this

happy to report that Comparative Method day was a rip-roaring success

tomorrow

Me turning up to class having failed to do the marking a month after it's due

i have yet to get this far in the high valyrian course

SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE

BOY KIBBLE HAHA LOL ... back in my day we just called it "chili" but im glad to be finally hip to something the kids are talking about ... LOL

reading and grading a decent undergraduate essay, with good organization, original ideas, and limited crimes against the english language, is like crack to me
