Why is my feed always the place where normies find out that most professors don’t have health insurance and that disorganised prof you hated freshman year had no teaching experience and no one told them where the copy machine was?
What I’m saying is I’m available to do comms for your faculty union
So apparently the painter George Catlin had his mind blown that First Nations people of the Great Plains breathed through their noses???
There's no way that white people were going around literally mouth breathing until the 1800s, right? RIGHT?
Historians, send help! My interest is so piqued!
Why do we even bother with endnotes--this is my personal pet peeve as a historian, I need to read the spicy, sassy, whiny footnotes immediately
This:
this is not surprising to me and the question is will this accumulating body of evidence change anything

It bears repeating the line I emphasize to my students on day one:
“The past was not boring. People have always been extremely weird and horny.”
Early 20th c political cartoon depicting suffragettes as dowdy middle-aged women
In all seriousness though, elder millennial jokes aside, I think it’s important to resist the media framing of any mainstream resistance to the status quo as just the shrill nonsense of middle-aged women with nothing better to do. This isn’t the first time they’ve run out this playbook.
Driving over the boarder to Buffalo and being immediately bewildered by the onslaught of personal injury attorney billboards is a Toronto right of passage.
Yyes?
ChatGPT can never drink a bottle of wine, stare at a painting, and spark a thesis chapter. That’s how I know my job is safe. 😂
Slurs Filled a Chat Created by a Republican Party Official in Florida After the secretary of the Miami-Dade County Republican Party created the chat for college students, it devolved into slurs against Black and Jewish people.
damn it’s crazy how the slurs filled the chat all by themselves. couldn’t be helped i’m sure. chats are always devolving of their own accord
Right? My early internet was mostly marked by receiving chain emails and sexually explicit ICQ messages before getting yelled at to get offline so my parents could use the phone 😂
But… you folks seem super bothered by this. Based on yours and others’ numerous replies, it seems like a pretty visible critique to me.
👏
Yeah, I don’t think any of us would care. We openly call ourselves settlers here and we’re pretty forthcoming (obviously not enough) about colonial harm, unlike our southern neighbours. Truly don’t understand this silly discourse but it reeks of American insecurity over their own “exceptionalism”.
I can’t fucking handle the dystopian capitalist hellscape that is LinkedIn
He’s mayor. Photo opportunities are like 1/4 of the job.
Activists from the anti-billionaire campaign group "Everyone Hates Elon" went to the Louvre museum in Paris where they hung a framed photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, taken by Reuters photographer Phil Noble on February 19.
these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion
kid biking in painted bike lane Smoking tables next to non smoking tables used to be considered normal too
More details coming soon but looks like I might be doing a talk on the other side of the globe this year.
still can't believe where a little bike ride to school went 🙃
This is pretty much my take. I also think there’s a hefty dose of misogyny at play. I thought her film was much more artistically interesting than del Toro’s Frankenstein.
There’s personal preference, and then there’s dogpiling on one of the very few female filmmakers for internet clout.
The misogyny of it all.

People sometimes say things like “If I were the richest person in the world, I would cure cancer / solve world hunger / give everyone a home / etc.”
Beloved, the fact that you would do such things means you will never be one of the richest people in the world.
Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?
I read this as a defence of Chomsky. I think I need to go back to bed 🤣
AI simply cannot stand in front of a classroom, gesticulating wildly and writing semi-illegibly on chalkboards, both of which are key to building rapport and convincing your students you are worth learning from
Wasn’t replying to you. You’re an asshole. And clearly not a woman or a feminist. And clearly lacking reading comprehension.
I was defending you 😂
