Likes words + pictures. Still here (in academia, thinking about contemporary lit, visual culture, & politics of aesthetics).
Coined the phrase "It's Adam & Eve, not Adam & Jeeves" as a [bad] argument against labour exploitation.
Salting the vibes.

This is a pernicious and anti-democratic government steeped in grift and corruption. And a plurality of Ontarians continue to support them. Depressing as fuck.

An accident of scrolling took me back some 25 years to when I read Somerset Maugham’s OF HUMAN BONDAGE, which blew my mind. The below passage stuck with me to this very day.
![What is the Meaning of Life?
It's Philip Carey's Persian Rug (Of Human Bondage). Life has no meaning, but like the Persian rug, "as the weaver elaborated his pattern for no end but the pleasure of his aesthetic sense, so might a man live his life [so that] it made a pattern out of the manifold events of his life, his deeds, his feelings, his thoughts [so] he might make a design, regular, elaborate, complicated or beautiful".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uar4e64fdaayordtu4srsikw/bafkreifas25j2wjndxrlaorqev4mizrfg3novwelqpdv5gszzwjkxkik5q@jpeg)

This is just an incredible and an incredibly telling detail from this story.
![Family lawyer Scott Byers, who's based in Swift Current, Sask., said he and his colleagues have started seeing some of the factors Sproat described becoming a reason for divorce.
It started with the pandemic and couples having diverging views on things like vaccinations, but that's shifted more recently, Byers said.
"As the years have passed since the pandemic, I'm certainly seeing more clients come in telling me, 'My spouse isn't the person that I knew when [we] met. He puts his ear buds in and he's listening to these podcasts and a lot of thinkers associated with the so-called manosphere.'"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uar4e64fdaayordtu4srsikw/bafkreihojjcq3aekuk3y3nqu7suudxbobmvamv4rfbmtfnbp3t5asfjh3m@jpeg)
