i understand that AI is big but i will always object to this argument that everyone needs to get on board with it. let the AI people AI but leave me alone to think and write manually in my brain and with real people

I love the way you see the world. I love the way your soul sings. I wish that I could sing like you; I wish that I could feel things.

this ex killing ever round tour of san francisco is such a trip and a lot of fun

Gender Critical people have always just been pushing misogyny and gender policing from the start. Along with traditional Christian values, while we’re talking about it. And it’s weird so many of you didn’t notice just because you hate trans people.

Penny Wong, 2003: "I say suspicion is not enough. To justify going to war we need more than suspicion. What sort of world would we live in if suspicion alone was justification for participation in unilateral military action outside the auspices of the UN? "

hadestown is about the relationship between the material and the ideational something something

she’s sooooo

there are so many thoroughly antisocial behaviors that would shock and disturb you coming from any other human being but are completely standard for cops

Police continue to shoot directly at protesters. Multiple protesters are bleeding with wounds

i don’t THINK im an alcoholic but it’s crazy how a drink or two can numb the distracted parts of my brain and allow me to just sit down and write and write

i hope this doesnt come off the wrong way but almost all women phd students i meet are doing some form of explicitly feminist or gender (eg masculinities) research and zero of the men are doing this

AM I WRITING OR JUST TAPPING

also i read this, p good for fantasy fans who read a lot of those magic-school books as a kid as it’s from the perspective of a teacher at such school. but what i enjoyed most about this were the reflections on teaching, the daily grind and the satisfaction of it, as well as the politics

close enough

“the viral —“ no. please stop

actually maybe it’s just me who is desperate for meaning, and i erroneously project that onto other people?

has face to face community died or am i just drawing sweeping conclusions on the basis of anecdotal evidence

This feels like an absurdly bad-faith attack to me. It's true that there were no studies on *6 feet specifically*, but there is a mountain of evidence showing that social distance reduces COVID transmission. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/...

every week i think my thesis is about a different thing, this is how a thesis works right. right

would you believe i feel the writing bug (just lightly, but there)

I dunno, I think it's pretty obvious why the NIH didn't design a years-long study to determine the efficacy of masks in March of 2020. www.compactmag.com/article/rest...

working on a paper rn (ew) and it’s making me miss free writing fiction. that time when i could sit down, start with a few fragments, and come out 4 hours later with 7k words, go with the flow, publish without proofing

and the liberals will still cry that they need to gain votes by moving further right

i just come on here once a week and ramble

i truly do have all these themes and ideas i want to write about but i don’t have a way to connect with them. i could write original fic but that’s hard 😣

also thinking about meaning and structure and the material and whether any of these distinctions mean much of anything and whether it’s turtles all the way down and how long can one keep asking why and should i have a breakdown y/n?

thinking a lot about meaning lately because i always am. but especially shared meaning. is meaning only meaning when it’s shared? especially today. all this focus on relatability and validation by others. is any steadfast, independent sense of purpose/identity being eroded

Poster time ✨ I think this lyrics quote is so Eve coded in many ways 👹

Eve is going to kiss a killer. The only thing stopping her is several inches of knife in her chest. “Shit,” she gasps, mortified. “I actually thought you liked me!” Villanelle looks pretty and puzzled. “Eve,” she says, as Eve bleeds out all over her bed. “Of course I did.” #killingevemicrofiction

boredom, meaning (search for), power

interesting

he died you guys!!!!!! the catholic jumped out or whatever
