Maybe now that my Saturdays are practically free I can work on an article I’ve been wanting to write but just haven’t really had time for

We gotta fire Mike Norvell man. It’s gotta be by EOD.

Miami lost and it’s No Kings day. Only thing that could make this better is a Noles dub but I’ve learned I can’t count on that

Me popping into this app everyone once in a while

FSU being on here (top 3!) is kinda funny considering they just gutted basically every interesting class from gen ed.

I am pleased to announce that I will be taking my talents to Florida State University’s graduate school. Thank you to my friends, family, and mentors who have guided me through this exciting time. Please respect my decision. GO NOLES! 🍢🍢

Trump’s birthright citizenship EO does not “appear” to clash with the Fourteenth Amendment, it smashes into it going at 200 mph. It is patently unconstitutional and I seriously wish the media would start calling ducks ducks.

@smbrnsn.bsky.social congratulations! I’m sure you’ll be getting comments like these for the foreseeable future but I have never been more excited to learn about taxes!

Anyway these are really good reads and I highly recommend

This truly is one of the few memes that can really capture the current moment.

Idk I feel like “president moved swiftly to consolidate power in first week” would have been a more accurate headline but hey. We already lost the media so what can ya do

No one: Historians writing about antebellum America: “…a young and unknown congressman from Illinois by the name of Abraham Lincoln…” It’s like the Wilhelm scream of historical writing

Not enough for a snowman and I can’t really stay long but man it turned into a party in the most FSU way possible 😂 love love love that this is how my last semester is going ❤️

Bitcoin is one of those things where you don’t have to know anything about it to know that those who buy into it are dumb as rocks

Is it just me or does birthright citizenship seem to be one of the only unambiguously clear principles in the Constitution? It should tell you something that the Supreme Court has never looked at the matter in *checks watch* 126 years after striking down the Chinese Exclusion Act as unconstitutional

It is kind of nerve wracking being on the edge of yet another paradigm shift. The open consolidation of power over the last couple of months into the hands of a new kleptocratic oligarchy is a lot to process. Time will tell, but it feels like we just witnessed the end of our constitutional order.

Sooooo I got accepted to speak at the American Academy of Religion Southeast conference in Miami in their undergraduate panel

Yeah I just incorporated The Dark Knight Trilogy into a discussion post on abolitionism and slavery what’s it to ya

Third day into the semester and my professor still hasn’t published the Canvas page yet. The first class meeting is at 3 today. This is going to be my busiest class so I’m just like

Read Peggy Fletcher Stack’s piece in the Salt Lake Tribune about Orwellian BYU hiring and firing practices. All I’ll say is that I will be forever, forever grateful that I did not go to BYU

Btw if you want an easy and extremely useful New Year’s resolution I recommend keeping a planner. I did that last year and it was so useful it was easy to keep one and legit kind of transformed things for me.

So I have to read Dred Scott and Fair Admissions v. Harvard next semester—both 230+ pages. I decide to read DS over break to lighten my load for next semester. My professor assigned an abridged version of it and kept the entirety of Fair Admissions 🫠

The “controversy” over Six Triple Eight is really sad. People claiming it’s too much about race… Reminds me of a time when I watched Twelve Years A Slave with someone and they complained that it was just trying to make white people feel bad. That how do we know it was that bad…it was an 1850s memoir

It’s starting to hit me that this is my last semester at FSU as an undergrad.

20 minutes in and Red One is already unforgivably cringe

Starting Christmas Day with two teams from opposite ends of the country playing in Hawaii and going into 5OT is precisely what Kirk Herbstreit is trying to take from us 😤

One thing I really like about academia is how accessible scholars are. I remember a couple years ago reaching out to Dr. Harris just to ask a question and it turned into a very enjoyable 2 hour zoom call getting to know each other. Really outstanding book that makes me appreciate historical work

Spent the day in the ER yesterday and had to miss the family reunion and seeing my lovely nieces. I’m glad I got sick now and not during my last semester at FSU, but holy cow I really needed to see and be with my family yesterday 🫠🫠

Ugh I wish there was more college football on this app.

Reading Dred Scott for a class next semester. Figure I ought to read the whole thing if American history is what I want to do in grad school. All I’ll say about it so far is that Roger Taney is the definition of a yapper. I hope he got carpel tunnel writing that opinion.

On S3E1 of Handmaid’s Tale and honestly the Canada scenes always hit. I’ve never had a show make me appreciate freedom more than this one lol

What the hell is going on at Strozier 😭

Random question because I’m writing a paper on the Cold War and I’m genuinely interested in people’s life experiences with this: can people who follow me who were alive when the USSR existed tell me what it was like to see it fall? Did you celebrate or was it out of sight/mind?

Good run for Georgia, unfortunately they have to be left out of the playoffs now

What can be the most chaotic result for CFB this week?

Turns out the revenge tour was just postponed a year 😎

How it feels to write that one draft of a final paper that finally eats

Hmm

NOLESKY DO YOUR PART AND TROLL MIAMI. You may need to go to the other app to do it but this is the most justifiable reason to go back there!

MIAMI GOT LEFT OUT 😂😂😂😂

Trump is apparently going to attend the reopening of the Notre Dame in Paris. Go on, French people. Do your think. Protest that criminal son of a bitch like hell since we’re too cowardly to do it here.

First time watching an NFL game this season. Seems safe to say the Brown’s defense is what’s plaguing them? gd

OKAY MONEY MIKE.

The only time this season where I can blame a loss 90% on fluke fumbles. O-line and WR room aren’t off the hook, but damn I think Mike really can do his “concepts of a plan” quick fix if he really wants.

The way Florida fans are giving all the credit to Lagway and not their run game yesterday is kind of funny. It’s like they’ve fully adjusted to mediocrity.

We really shut Lagway down too. Defense was amazing. That’s why I like Luke. If we have more options at WR and even just a marginally more competent O-line, it’s a totally different game yesterday.

I want Miami to get snubbed for a 3-loss Georgia. That will make things right for me.

Thank God it’s over. Let’s never do this again. Goodbye, 2024 FSU football. May you never be remembered. Except for Toafili and Douglas.

Honestly idrc what people say. As ironic as it is being the last game, this felt like the first time all season we actually showed signs of improvement. For one, we consistently drove the ball. Yeah turnovers, but if not for two read zone fumbles, things would be different.
