what power art thou who from below hast made me rise unwillingly and slow from beds of everlasting snow

I keep my online and offline lives separate. Academic, musician, writer, among other art forms. #nobridge

Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

I guess when asked what I look for, the most succinct answer is 'not to feel I'm wasting my time and attention'

The passages where Genji raises Murasaki are quite chilling

That woman is me

Somewhere in the world there's a left-handed transwoman who struggled very slightly with buttoning shirts her whole life then transitioned and was suddenly like wait wtf this rules

Was amused that Suetsumuhana was considered physically ugly because the description given sounds very beautiful to me

Anyway, moral points aside if you let me take out either file sharing or consolidation of media corporations, I have very little doubt which one would help authors more. Clearchannel was fifty times worse for musicians than Napster was.

Watching useless liberal dummies like this jackass just fully abandon any pretense of sympathy for trans people is really nauseating

The most endearing thing about US culture is the mass synesthesia. All of you can taste colors and events! Nobody in Europe knows what “purple” or “birthday” tastes like.

Relatedly I really do wish I could organize a production of the Theban Tragedies

Sometimes I regret tuning out of A Song of Ice and Fire when it became a mass pop-cultural phenomenon.

I guess now I suspect (of course, I could be wrong, but this is what I think is most likely) that Vance will be president by 2027

I also want to point out that Vance's whole "professors are the enemy" schtick came after he profited enormously from universities. Nowhere was "Hillbilly Elegy" pushed more than on college campuses. He cashed in with six figure speaking fees to talk about Appalachian poverty.

JD Vance has talked about emulating authoritarian Orban's gutting of academic freedom in Hungary open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

The Cheapo Stuff Winswww.nplusonemag.com In the late ’90s there was this trend toward blob cars that was probably seen as very ugly at the time, but now represents an infinitely more beautiful path lost to the auto industry by the late ’00s....

To limit ourselves to recent American examples, Leonard Leo, the architect of the Federalist Society is a cradle Catholic and a Knight of Malta; I hate this meme.

Michael Haneke predicted all this in Funny Games, but you didn't listen.

apart from the clearly disturbing, obvious horror of it, this is quite clearly 'jobs for the boys'

A fun fact about JD Vance is that he's openly backed purging anyone who disagrees with him from the government, comparing it to "de-Nazification," and illegally defying court orders to do so.

I keep seeing "Clarence Thomas took a luxury trip to Putin's hometown!!!!!" outrage and, sure, OK, yes, we know Thomas is corrupt as hell, but "Putin's hometown" is Saint Petersburg, hardly an unusual Russian tourist destination.

Trump is the experiment. America is a world-historical machine to produce guys like Trump. If there's someone who more perfectly captures the spirit of America, I haven't seen him on television being tacky and racist (so he can't more perfectly capture the spirit of America)

Guy literally had secrets in his bathroom, selling them to foreign nationals. Calls people to steal votes. Sends a mob to keep himself in office. This country pissing all over its history to bend over backwards for this guy? This is the guy we bring down the whole experiment for?

Every moment of every day, you should ask yourself: "Am I doing something of lasting value?" If you are, you should quit and engage in pointless status-seeking bullshit.

I really, really wish I'd planned my surgery before instead of squeamishly dropping it

its cool how after every bit of gun violence in America, every gender, ethnic, whatever minority prays that it's not from one of "us" because no one wants to talk about the political sources

I do wish Burke's comments on India were as well remembered as his on France

wild living in a country where "this person had access to military grade weaponry" doesn't narrow anything down in terms of which sort of person could be responsible. Military veteran? PTA president? Disaffected tween? who knows
