- everyone dunked on that thinkpiece about the resurgence of the aging woman as a monstrous figure in contemporary horror a few years ago but it seems pretty vindicated to me idk, like swap out longlegs for barbarian and...I’m assembling a team … #WeaponsMovie
- the fact that it's shocking to stem guys that humanities people often care a lot about very specific wording and understand that how you say something is often just as important as what you say probably explains why most of the ai generated research papers are stem ones lolWhy do academics in the humanities read their papers aloud, word for word, when they give talks at universities or at meetings, while scientists generally speak extemporaneously? If you read, you might as well just hand out the paper. It's a mystery. whyevolutionistrue.com/2025/08/11/why…
- dua lipa is cool because she has the only celebrity book club that bothers to find good books instead of picking something that's already a bestseller or going through romance slop
- "as a therapist specializing in anxious eldest daughters" yeah we're cooked actually. frankly i think it's almost harmful to even claim you specialize in a made up category, you're just convincing eldest daughters that there's something uniquely traumatic about themwe need to put an end to the instagram therapy industrial complex
- sometimes a student complains that they've been on campus all day with nothing to do and then also reveals they haven't done the reading and it's like well i have an easy solution to both of your problems actually
- reading is like The most accessible hobby and for some reason people talk about it like books cost hundreds of pounds and you need a masters degree to even begin to understand themY'all aren't gonna like me, but reading is a privilege. You need free time, the education, the ability, access to books, etc. But we should be helping each other access books however we can and sharing info and stories in a number of mediums.
- so many people (not just students) have this idea that a university is somehow trying to exploit or trick or punish you when it assigns you work. they're trying to help you! they can't teach you anything if you refuse to do any work!The kids are cooked
- this isn't even fork found in kitchen this is like. fork found in the fork aisle of the shop that only sells forks in forksburg, forksylvaniaan american cardinal who covered up sexual abuse of minors is the fucking pope now, okay
- can't say im a bit fan of the increasing pathologization of totally standard behaviours where medical terms are wrenched out of context to now all refer to You, God's Most Precious Angel And Incredibly Smart Gifted Child Who Is SO BraveIf you were a big reader as a kid, you were disassociating.Readers added contextWhile, technically, being deeply engrossed in reading is an example of mild dissociation, this incorrectly applies the psychological context of coping with stress/trauma or struggling with psychosis. Pathologising normal behaviour is trivialising to those with real disorders. wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociat…
- so obsessed with how bad instagram poetry is. they make rupi kaur look like shakespeare. second one is maybe the worst poem i have ever seen
- i do feel like im going insane when i get the youtube grammarly ads that are like "these ai writing tools help me lessen the huge mental burden of replying to emails!" and then the example is just someone saying "hi thomas, would a meeting at 3pm on thursday work for you"if you need chatgpt to write an email maybe you shouldn’t have job
- i know it's meant to be like yaas girlboss but the idea that men and women occupy complete different spectatorial positions and can only relate to/identify with characters of the same gender is just boring men are from mars women are from venus style conservativism sorryMarielle Heller says her upcoming movie ‘NIGHTBITCH’ is “a comedy for women, and a horror movie for men.” bit.ly/46XFEhU
