Grew tomatoes from seed this year and they’re so big now that the very tall plants are blocking the the medium tall plants from the grow lights and as the tallest person in my family I respect this shithead behavior

“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate…Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”

my asecs talk

polygenism, monogenism, brownness

I want to begin by saying the talk I’m giving is not the talk I meant to give. As you’ll see I start in one place and end up somewhere else. I apologize if my doing so takes us off topic.

The Brutalist is very smart about decoupling an immigrant narrative from nationalism. When Erzsébet says “they do not want us here” and László says “I know” the recognition feels like a chant, in the devotional sense. The way they wander in the desert of America’s early colonies is really well done
