His little son has stopped talking in his absence.
I didn’t even know there were this many people in evantson
I feel bad for people who live in places with temperate climates year-round. They will never know the pure joy of a 50-degree February day after a long, cold winter. Soak it up this week, fellow midwesterners.
Can anyone recommend readings for undergrads that explicit link the survival and flourishing of indigenous and non-western gender systems to material struggles over land, sovereignty and against colonialism?
Why would you make your narrator unreliable. I trusted you and purchased this book and this is how you repay me
Its just me (out for a smoke) and the people walking their dogs in this snow storm

The overwhelming level of police and politicians here is not about making sure Luigi doesn’t escape, it’s about reassuring corporate America and scaring anyone who might consider copying what Luigi did. I think their strategy has backfired
They got the surname wrong but lowkey I get it
Great work in Punjabi language studies is on its way after Alyssa Ayres. "Paindoo: Punjabi as an Accent" by Prof. Iqra Cheema @cheema.bsky.social is a really promising start to what I hope will be a broader project on language, class, politics, and aesthetics.
Sednaya prison outside of Damascus is called the human slaughterhouse. The things that I read happened there will never leave me. Just the absolute most twisted things a human can come up with.
The fact that we’re counting down the minutes to it being obliterated is beyond. Just incredible.
The beginning of every revolution is an exit, an exit from the social order that power has enshrined in the name of law…& the greater good…From there we understand the hostility of…authority towards these figures, & its use of the law…to…criminalize them.

NEW: Human rights organization Amnesty International has released a 296-page report concluding that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
The group joins Holocaust historians, United Nations experts, and a growing number of nations worldwide in doing so.
Omg fuck the hand-wringing about people not finding the murder of the UHC CEO tragic. No, actually, we don't have to mourn the deaths of people who oversee the denial of our medical needs, who are also responsible for many, many deaths, all bc of their greed. STFU already.
whose idea were endnotes?
Two stages of writing:
1) This shouldn't take too long
2) Oh no
