I credit the free ressources from Purdue’s Online Writing Lab with allowing me to internalize APA and MLA style to the point that I could ace my first copyediting gigs. It’s good to hear their student journalists are also a class act.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

I was going through a rough time at work recently, so I reread all of “Hob” and “Dark Science” on my breaks.

Work is still meh but my breaks were fun as heck for a while there.

“But you are making plans / without a future and my now / is twisted into your crying.” Read “Entanglements,” a poem by Ursula K. Le Guin about cats.

“Finnegans Wake” is an elaborate hoax.

The problem with “Maus” is that it takes the attention away from Spiegelman’s true masterpiece, “Garbage Pail Kids.”

That run of “Hercules” is one of my favourite runs of any Marvel comic. So fun!

When “Birdman” did it I nearly lost my mind. I think I must have audibly gasped. I live for this nonsense.

No worries! I replied in a non-standard way. Besides, I think your assessment is spot on: I don’t think any of my geriatric millennial friends are on here. I just happen to have been a FB hater since day one.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Ranking songwriters is a nearly impossible task because lyrics can serve vastly different purposes, but for me the greatest are Frances Quinlan, Ben Gibbard, and John Darnielle. Of course, Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan are also greats.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

“Dead End: Paranormal Park” is a zany, heartwarming show. It has a trans protagonist. It also has a talking pug. Cis kids who watch it are no more at risk of becoming trans than they are of turning into pugs. They might become more compassionate though. #IStandWithHamishSteele

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.

"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

Bizarre how “out to lunch” is the idiom used to convey distractedness or even insanity when my experience is that is when I am at my most focused and calm.
