You gotta spend $50 in a calendar year to leave a review that’s probably why

Zero reality where I can see teaching that long. Tell him to retire lol

I cannot fathom any reality where I teach for 30 years.

I’m literally counting down the remaining 19 years until I can retire.

Doing this for 30 (or more) years seems completely fucking insane to me.

Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy (Official Video)
Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy (Official Video) Taken from the album β€œThe Age of Consent”, available on all platforms: https://BronskiBeat.lnk.to/TheAgeOfConsentSubscribe to the channel: https://londonreco...

Rose Glass and @a24 using Bronski Beat has more than just the vibe of the movie in mind. The song itself and the accompanying music video have some tonal connective tissue, as well:

Ritual comes in all forms, so we've asked some of the best & brightest to tell us about their favourites. Today, @edenroyce.bsky.social espouses the virtues of the 1997 film Eve's Bayou: "It gets so much about hoodoo, southern gothic & the cultural milieu right." Pop it on your watchlist!

Went to the barber this morning and on their sign for what they offer there was a notable entry:

β€œMan facial - $25”

I’ve paid way more for a facial from a man so honestly this is a steal.

I think some of my all-time favorite things I’ve learned this year include:

1) It’s supposedly physically impossible to get an erection in space.

2) Michael Jackson was a crip.

3) Rasputin insulated his house with human hair.

You’re welcome.

Just conferenced with a couple of my non-native speakers who are unfortunately failing. I say β€œfailing” because obviously no one really fails, but these are kids I know can do better.

I hate having to be bad cop. I just wanna be the weird, funny teacher all the time.

This is going to be great, especially as it's part of a panel with some fantastic authors!

The Society's upper echelons have a particular taste for folk horror, so it seems fitting that we'll round-off Writing the Occult: Ritual with a panel featuring some of the best and darkest in that realm. One of those writers? It's only

I think because a β€œjumper” is typically what cops call someone who may be attempting to jump off a building. Third Eye Blind has a song about it, even.

That said, my wife and I call them β€œjumpers”
