Horkheimer: I do not believe that things will turn out well, but the idea that they might is of decisive importance.

P.P.S. Did you know that my MA institution blocked these sites on the campus wifi? I don't know why. They've been angling for R1 status a long time and this is precisely why it'll never happen. Where we're at now has more sense, thank goodness.

P.S. Also feel free to hit me up if you can't find something on the main websites for this. I can't 100% guarantee that I'll be able to find something super obscure, but I'm about as good as it gets; if I can't find you something, nobody else will either.

Hi [So-and-so] this is Rosie from school. Reaching out to reiterate what I was saying earlier, which is that if you need a book or article, I am happy to find you a PDF. And if you see me around and want me to show you the websites, I'm happy to do that too.

Affectionately,
Roz

One Halloween a child dressed as a lizard harshly criticized the candy I was giving out. "Ugh!" this kid said, "kit kats AGAIN." An adult in the back saved me, booming, "It's because this neighborhood knows the best candy, little man!" I gave that guy a kit kat too, in gratitude.

takes a lot of gall to write aphorisms

the canadian government should approve my application on the basis that I have a pretty good poem about john diefenbaker that I cannot read in the u.s. because americans do not know who that is

Meas Samon is supposed to be very funny. I gotta know what's going on in the song "Going to Get Engaged."

considering taking some coursework in Khmer so I can translate the lyrics to Cambodian rock and roll songs from the 60s.

banking on people being too distracted by the title "Pussy Soup" to notice that I misspelled the word "wrestler"

Rosalind Scallop @maximumhorkheimer.bsky.social · 1d

unpublished bluesky post: "[in the criterion closet] okay do you have THE CALAMARI WRESTER, Minoru Kawasaki's 2004 movie about the giant squid who becomes a professional wrestler? No? Okay, what about Minoru Kawasaki's 2006 movie about the crab that joins a soccer team, GOALKEEPING CRAB? No? Okay, well, what about PUSSY SOUP (2008), directed by Minoru Kawasaki, the movie about cats that run a ramen stand? No?? Well, do you have Minoru Kawasaki's 2005 movie about the koala business executive, EXECUTIVE KOALA? No? Man. Why did you even invite me here?"

I have never knowingly listened to Japanese Breakfast but having read the book I do believe that this woman has thought seriously about the topic of breakfast in Japan

Rosalind Scallop @maximumhorkheimer.bsky.social · 1d

Okay I finally read CRYING IN H MART and decided that I think the name "Japanese Breakfast" is 0% affectation. At one point after the death of her mother, she decides to stop going to therapy to have more money for eating lunch at nice restaurants; this was apparently the right decision for her.

I guess Tilda Swinton doesn't actually find the [redacted] in that movie......

Rosalind Scallop @maximumhorkheimer.bsky.social · 1d

Tilda Swinton never would've found those [redacted] if she lived three blocks from an oil refinery. "Probably just some dumbass oil refinery shit," she would think. "Maybe something has exploded again."

The plot of MEMORIA keeps almost happening to me except then I remember that I live three blocks from an enormous oil refinery and one mile from LAX, either of which could plausibly explain the strange noises I sometimes hear late at night here

SHAKESPEARE IN CHARGE sounds like the worst book possible

Rosalind Scallop @maximumhorkheimer.bsky.social · 2d

shocked that I can hate him this much more than I already did

Adelman is also an expert on William Shakespeare and has taught extension school classes at Georgetown University and George Washington University on Shakespeare.[citation needed] He co-wrote with Norman R. Augustine a book on drawing leadership lessons from Shakespeare, called Shakespeare in Charge: The Bard's Guide to Leading and Succeeding on the Business Stage.[10] He is known for invocations of Shakespeare in favor of his political positions, including an NPR analysis of a scene from Othello in support of the invasion of Iraq, and lauding President Bush as King Henry V

Kenneth Adelman is a Shakespeare scholar???

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

me when I summon the vampires and I summon the werewolves

the girl from VIY saying "I summon the vampires! I summon the werewolves!"

Rosalind Scallop @maximumhorkheimer.bsky.social · 2d

VIY is a great horror movie because it's just one hour where nothing happens except these weird-ass peasants vibing and then 10 minutes of the coolest shit you have ever seen in your life and then movie is over
