Do they even have sycamore trees in that region? What the hell were they teaching us with that song?

Basing anything on Hankins' interactions with undergraduates seems...like a questionable choice

Fwiw I really appreciate your reporting on it

Cucumber tastes like soap to me

Fwiw I'm also sensitive to movies that seem to delight in anyone's pain and I loved Sinners. Ymmv of course but I was happily surprised that it didn't push my buttons.

If one guy is crouching behind the plate and managing the pitching staff for half the game, I think he might just be a little more valuable than the one chilling in the outfield (and I would have thought this was obvious, you know?)

To believe that the only things that matter about them are things that appear on a school or job application

The desire to blame and shame students (and to some extent faculty) for a system they do not control is just obscene. Are some Harvard undergrads entitled assholes? Ime, yeah, but most of them are exhausted, scared, and have been brainwashed most of their lives

Tbc, that's my team and I love them with every ounce of my heart and I trust them not at all, ever

With all due respect, I think you are really underestimating the Mariners' talent for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. You don't end up the only team without a WS appearance by obeying the ordinary laws of superstition.

Worse still--ending up with a raisin stem in your mouth! I don't need a cookie with secret pokey bits!

This is so good! And the things said about you are well deserved. I appreciate you keeping "not fun" feminism in the conversation (or at least the bluesky conversation).

Yay for three weeks of Wiggles! Zero disrespect to your handsome, polite, and exceptionally delightful boys, but that joyful chaos queen is the kind of inspiration I need right now

They're just fucking with us. They're always just fucking with us.

I love them, but the Mariners themselves have historically done anything to stop a powerful Mariners team

I would watch that prestige streaming pilot, honestly

I love how a bunch of replies just restate the position that MacKinnon is critiquing. Talk about really not wanting to subject sex to feminist analysis.

Alex Rodriguez running around giving out people's number without permission definitely tracks

Oh, Adderall naps are delicious. I know I'm lying to myself when I say "I'll just take my meds and lie down until they kick in" but it's the best sleep!

I just learned that this week reading The Wager, which seems like a book you would like

Agreed on fight scenes--always way too long, often with little narrative purpose!

Yes! I didn't fully grasp the urgency until peri. Middle aged people on hormones ought to be at the forefront of pro-trans rights advocacy
