Ludebam hodie cum discipulis ludo Versipellis, cum ut solet quidam a versipellibus erat occisus. Rogante igitur me quomodo interficeri deberet, alius respondit, “kirkificatus est” 😮💨😮💨😭😭😭🥀🥀🥀💀💀💀

Refusing to hear that I don’t make a habit of celebrating my birthday, my students ambushed me in my room to give me a cake and sing happy birthday to me in Latin.
I later learned that they found my birth date by through my voter registration information

Got a book deal, made friends, learned to speak a dead language, played DnD in said dead language, developed my political consciousness and found my local political home (now very much an IRL thing for me!)
A lot of things in my life paid off this year that all started on social media

On one hand the subtext of Ishmael and Queequeg’s first nights together is about as subtle as a freight train. On the other hand Ishmael being entirely oblivious and simply going on like they’re just very good friends is so, so much funnier

to state the obvious: everyone in the regime believes it is someone else's kids who are going to be stitching the shoes together in the factories. but i think the majority of their supporters also think the factories are for others' kids. there's only so many jobs where you go to yale law like JD
I think no matter the number of speeches they make saying rhe opposite; the amount of "it's other people who are the sucker's who believe this shit" is radiating off the govt way too much for "becoming a soldier" to tick up as a career path outside of necessity.

Thinking abt this but from Phaedrus’ speech in relation to the endings of NGE and End of Evangelion, as phantoms and punishments. It’s interesting to me also that this version of the story is only found here in the Symposium

Real. I’ve had multiple students come up to me and say this. I’m so glad I’ve been following this closely enough that I was able to debunk it. I’d say utterly irresponsible, but I’m almost certain WSJ was just chomping at the bit to start a trans panic
Transgender people are owed a retraction and apology from @wsj.com. The lie has already become canon to millions and it seems the least they could do.
