The thing is, the Spanish aren’t used to food that has no taste and crumbles like dust on contact.

MIDTERMS GRADED!
(Well, the handwritten ones, at least)

They’ll have to spend it on sanitizing… everything.

I’m sorry what.

See, that actually interests me … in theory. I’m sure if I read it I would be like “oh, this is dumb.”

(Is a phrase I used when trying to get a pack of them to move out of the way on a trail in Peru. It worked, except, of course, there was a diva.)

Who’s a sexy llama?

I work like four blocks from there :)

It’s the “I can’t be racist, I have a black friend” of antisemitism.

I am going to assume that over on the Bad Place everyone thinks we’ve already won and that the rest of the world fears and respects the US.

I do hope for their sake they’re not going anywhere outside the country for spring break.

Is democracy on the march yet?

Pharmacist and grocer.

That would be an official refusal, you see.

Better to let it ferment.

And that’s before we get into my research request at the Egyptian national archives was submitted in September 2022 and they still haven’t given me an answer. (I realize that *is* my answer but … )

There aren’t enough sources. They don’t tell us about the part that is filling in the massive archival gaps with educated guesses and then we feel like we’re faking it.

The language nerd in me wants to point out that womb is probably a masculine noun because of course it would be 🤣

Rachel, has your womb wandered into a new location again? Should I fetch the leeches?

Well, someone must have been a very good boy!

No. It was entirely academics who weren’t doing intelligence work. The neocons said so.

While you'd never know it if you listened to the campus left in recent years, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been the biggest imperialist power in the region since 1979, cultivating proxies to control four Arab states — Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen - and undermining liberal reformers in all four by promoting sectarian divisions.

Why did I read Tom Friedman?

Is the “campus left” in the room with us right now? Would you even know if they’ve said otherwise?

Didn’t the neocons try this with 9/11?

It is. But I feel particularly embarrassed by my people.

The ability of shirtless white gay influencers to make worldwide crises about themselves has ceased to amaze me as a phenomenon.

Point at the bombs, not your abs, dude.

I wont miss Khamenei and I hope like hell this misguided adventure won’t put someone worse in power.

I was grading. How in the world …

Endnotes are evil and should be banned.

PDF.

I was leaning more toward giving up loving my fascist neighbor.

Gee, I wonder if there’s a connection between Trump deciding to *personally* control all of Venezuela’s oil right before launching a war in Iran that could very well wind up with a blockage of the Persian gulf.

I’ve decided to stop exhausting myself by reposting things. No offense.

Zero repercussions from a spineless congress.
