...And in the end, as he draws final breath, his last words shall be "Did I provide enough content?"

Get your pumpkin carving kit *now* before it's later tonight and you convince yourself a steak knife will work just fine, but it won't and you'll be posting on Bluesky saying, "I just lacerated myself carving a pumpkin. CPSC is going to be so disappointed in me :( "

I don't know which woman needs to hear this, but-- That depression you might think you're experiencing- what they tell you is neurodivergence-- is really just unprocessed, unchanneled rage and grief. Focus the anger. Your life will transform.

Sorry girlies. We like Connor Storrie's buzzcut. We also had some quibbles about the Saint Laurent the HEATED RIVALRY star wore to the Academy Museum Gala tomandlorenzo.com/2026/10/acad...

@marawilson.bsky.social I’ve thought about color privilege, pretty privilege, other types of privilege. But I’ve never thought about funny privilege as a form of social insulation. Really interesting to consider.

NO BAILOUTS FOR COMEMIERDAS! ALSO NO BOOK DEALS, NO PUNDIT GIGS, NO PSEUDO-ACADEMIC FELLOWSHIPS FOR COMEMIERDAS! NONE OF IT!

Every movie, song, and book that you love was made without the technology that people who don’t make art are now insisting is necessary for making art.

Imagine invalidating everything you're supposed to stand for over a fill in the blank guessing machine that destroys the planet. Very goofy behavior, Society. Unserious.

If you can't see a direct line from frat culture to ICE, DOGE and the gleeful violation of consent in various tech, sport & finance circles, I don't know what to tell you.

For decades frats have molded & promoted a culture of sexual assault, violence, hazing & impunity, some wielded against their own members but most deployed toward powerless outsiders, many of them women. They got a long time to prove they're really about anything else & they failed. Ban them.

I just finished reading The Ox-Bow Incident, a short, extremely bleak western that won the fiction Pulitzer in 1940. If you are looking for a piece of work that shows how deep the roots of American mob mentality and our taste for authoritarianism go, I don't think you could do much better. >

I'm recapping VisionQuest for Episodic Medium! Come read my thoughts on a premiere that gets off to an impressively jampacked start

SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS: "Any time you wear Harry Potter clothing, or loudly proclaim your love for it in public, or go to the theme parks or watch the new tv show or buy the books… it signals you are a danger to trans people." This. All this. I heartily endorse & urge you to read Tilly's post

if you don’t keep up with the youth i want you to know they’ve renamed “tramp stamps” to “cake toppers” which feels like the first advancement for feminism in a long time

Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.com? And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

“HBO removed about 200 episodes of Sesame Street in 2022, so we realised any media we wanted to continue to watch or listen to could be gone, and we’d have no way to get it back" www.theguardian.com/media/2026/o...

this is my favorite genre of social media post and I am soliciting links or screenshots to your favorites

“This is for my boy Paul mthrfkr!”

Recently pulled together an emergency preparedness pod with people who live near me because of the many (worsening) crises that we are in or are heading our way. Can't stress enough for others to do this asap. Even just having a couple of conversations about it is better than nothing and will help.

I am feeling exhausted and unmotivated today, but I had spam musubi, so that's something.

Sometimes I get so mad I don't live near a Jeni's anymore. (I did, in fact, visit every location in Nashville.) Not even PORTLAND, Jeni's? COME ON. jenis.com/pages/fallco...

The Klingons are great when you realize they're not really a warrior race as much as they are a bunch of theater people with knives

I hope that young woman bankrupts Cornell University.

Think I can manage getting crowns at the dentist then go to a concert three hours later? Hmmmmm

LOL, I handed my Arkansas ID to the venue dude, and he was like, "Don't be embarrassed! You got out! It's all good!"

Okay, I just subscribed to a year of AMC+ just for #Yaga, DO NOT JUDGE ME.

Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.

Writing "wisdom" I hate: WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW. This is the worst advice ever. It would be better if it was KNOW MORE SO YOU CAN WRITE ABOUT IT. Every good writer I know is constantly researching and getting new information and asking experts. It's a terrible bit of advice!

#Lanterns 1×06 "I hope I mattered." Oh, how frickin DARE you, Lindelof

Guys, the new #ResidentEvil slaaaaaaaps. Silly and also serious, quite gory, and just a dude trying to do his job. I dug it even though I have not watched any of the previous movies or play the games.

Ask yourselves why people want panic for you and power for themselves. Who does that serve?

I have been reading the Anne McCaffrey Pern novels for the first time yeah I don't know why I hadn't read them before and I don't know why I'm inhaling them so fast now BUT importantly I know they're not trying to actually do linguistic worldbuilding but BOY do I have linguistics thoughts anyway

I usually drink wine (at the wine bar) at a leisurely pace, but fruit flies have shown up, so I have to shift to grad school wine-drinking speed

I brought doughnuts to the office and there are only, like, two of us in the office, lol.

Sorry I was late for the meeting; Hudson Williams
