Lesbian culture is when my coworker walked into the EMS room, clocked everyone as a queer woman, and announced without preamble:
"I just found out my ex-wife is a priest now which is so weird cause I used to drive her to coven meetings when we were married"
whoa how did you find out??
"LinkedIn"

This response from Stephen Schwartz about Queen of Versailles haters is so funny because, babes, there are several songs throughout the show about how evil Sweeney Todd is. Like, the most recent production had him and Mrs. Lovett jumping down into hell arm and arm together at the end.

Every human I have described my book to had been close to apoplectic with excitement (bisexual space pirates falling in love)

We had friends over for the solstice. We read from Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine and served dandelion wine. May the memories of summer sustain you through the long, dark winter.

We are over here having the more interesting debate about whether Die Hard is Japanophobic.
Turns out we both Mandala Effected some 80s-style race-related obnoxiousness that never happened in the film and a critical reading is actually necessary.

I dont think people are bad for liking it, but I'm genuinely baffled by the near universal acclaim for Wake Up Dead Man, a film which I found bizarrely thematically incoherent, uninspired, and cold, and as if many of the characters werent even in the same room as each other, let alone the same film.

New, baffling questions from teenage freshmen in a nursing pre-requisite: if the assignment is due by a certain date, but I want to submit the assignment today, what date do I put on the assignment?
This alongside many inquiries about when our final is. So many of these kids are going to miss it 😭

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about
