Dems stood by and did nothing while a Black man was forcibly ejected from the chamber. What a fucking shock. Pathetic cowards.

As a scholar of language, transness, and empire with a background in Russian AND Puerto Rican Studies, I feel like the imperial chess of officiliazing English’s hegemony, anti-trans policy, and the geopolitical backlash of Trump’s temper tantrums would be hard to parse without the humanities.

A lady shaming ppl bc they like reading fantasy bc it’s not real when these books legit give the same gist as intimacies of four continents and silencing the past is crazy.

Sometimes when reading reviews I gotta leave it alone or come back bc ppl will be like this needs a citation and it’s deadass embodied knowledge and common amidst Ricans. I be typing “see more on *** in my left pinky toe” and then I know it’s time for a nap or walk

I’d feel more bad about the NSF delays but people are literally getting deported, parents are getting their babies out of schools, and other things that make my stomach hurt

I believe that Azriel from ACOTAR is actually a part of a lineage descended from the high fae queen and Aidas. That’s why his dagger responds to him and why he is the shadow singer. In this essay I will debunk fan theories and draw on the Maas multiverse—
