College journalists are absolutely unhinged and I love them. It was where I actually learned to be a reporter, to have total disregard for ego, and to have a healthy lack of interest in my own personal safety 💖
You know what media is NOT bending the knee in the Trump era? College journalists! The Harvard Crimson's brutal takedown of the lecherous ex-prez Larry Summers is just the latest example of students showing a failing 'grown-up' media how it's done

"The author is dead" is to protect YOU. If I started showing up everywhere people were talking about my fics you would NOT enjoy it I would be SO annoying. No I did not mean any of those beautiful things you read into the prose I was trying to make a dick jokes and it didn't land :(
Dying at the idea that Richard Siken may at any moment drop into your mentions to tell you your pet ship, specifically, is un-Siken-like. No one ask him about wangxian I don’t want to have to retitle old fics.

I'm watching a bunch of interviews with Bart Ehrman about the historical basis for whether early Christianity had a conception of hell (because Jesus would not have) and in 3 hours I have to go talk to a woman about how I am still bad at periods. That's how my day is going.

When I moved back to the U.S. in FEBRUARY 2020 (yeah you read that right) the first social activity in which I engaged was to go to a hard seltzer tasting fundraiser for the Warren primary campaign. ✊

As a NoVa resident: it’s true. I deeply, deeply and genuinely hate you and hope you reap nothing but the vile suffering you sow. 💙 I also hope your commute forces you onto the GW Parkway during driving rain and that the mixing bowl shits your life every single day.
There's so many of these btw, NoVa right wingers realizing that their neighbors genuinely hate them

I don’t know how Ryan is doing this if I was listening to this I would simply pass away from trying not to scream.
Defense says that the officer's testimony was "very questionable" because he said the sandwich both exploded in spray of mustard and onions and also landed in its wrapper on the ground.

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.
