Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

It almost feels criminal how disregarded the TV show “Legion” was. You’re all criminals.

I feel very strongly that the new stupid ballroom should *not* be torn down. I believe the next Dem President should, a week after taking office, have a Drag Queen Story Hour there, and then use it for a rotating exhibit of Black/Latin/East Asian/African/Queer art. We're going full troll, people.

@ambersparks.bsky.social is one of the best writers working today, no joke.
I wrote a thing for @writersdigest.bsky.social about why I will never stop writing dark humor, sorry to everyone (except those who also claim BoJack Horseman as their favorite TV show of all time)
On Being an Unreformed Writer of Dark Humor
Author Amber Sparks shares her love of dark humor and how it featured in her youth and adulthood as a writer (and consumer of media).

The University of Chicago will not be admitting new PhD students in English, nor in almost any humanities field, this year. What a loss to our discipline! What a disservice to talented students everywhere!
More UChicago Ph.D. Programs Will Pause Admissions
The arts and humanities dean said “nearly all” faculty leaders preferred “a broader pause for the division.” Some social sciences programs also aren’t accepting new students.
