I was so fucking lucky to read Arcadia in my 10th grade English class (the theme that year was "the teacher picks whatever the fuck he feels like" and he picked a winner here) - and I think I need to revisit it because of how lovely it is.
Alt text for those who need it. This is amazing.

If you are a chair of a department or supervise grad students, it might be important to collaborate with your colleagues on ways to strategize when a "problem essay" comes down the pike. It's one small way of protecting each other.

a real tell in all of this is that the trans instructor wasn't alone in trashing this essay! a whole other person also said they agreed completely that it sucked. but as far as i can tell only the trans person is getting punished. www.oklahoman.com/story/news/e...

Arizona we need to talk about what the fuck is wrong with you assholes
1. Over Thanksgiving, texts from Dem. Sen Ruben Gallego leaked where he repeats far-right talking points on masculinity, lamenting that Democratic women "look like men."

Using far-right gender-panic rhetoric will not ingratiate the Democratic Party towards men.

decorations were so bad they tore down the building
Remember the ominous rows of red Christmas trees that Melania used to decorate the White House in 2018?

That was in the East Colonnade.

The entire East Wing is gone now.

It’s sort of infuriating to watch liberals all of the sudden be able to identify war crimes because Trump is doing them

Folks, people say it about Mussolini and Hitler and the point is to say "say what you will about authoritarians but they're efficient" and no they aren't, that isn't true. It's bizarre that's a large takeaway in America.

"When things get really inefficient, then maybe fascism has a role" no. Wrong.
Hitler didn’t make the trains run on time and it’s weird that people keep giving him credit for that

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

He is just generally an alt-right, unrepentantly racist and transphobic piece of shit. He is also a genuinely bad comedian, much in the way that thin-skinned assholes often are 🤷‍♀️

as someone whose jewish ancestors who came over in the exact same wave of mass migration that stephen miller's did, my contempt for this creep is boundless
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

It's my pinned post for a reason, folks. The r word is trash
I really think that even most people who think language policing was a huge problem over the past 5-10 years have no patience for the disgusting little freaks who have tried to bring back "retarded" as a slur. It's just so low-rent and such a tell that the person using it is not worth your time

Michael Bohacek, a Republican state senator from Indiana who has a daughter with down syndrome, says he will vote against redistricting in Indiana after Trump used the word "retarded."
