WV Senate passes "anti-LGBTQ" bills on Crossover Day “Instead of helping the people of McDowell County get clean drinking water, they’re planning to arrest drag queens. Instead of stopping our schools from closing, they want to lock up innocent…

Organized and hosted a Careers in the Humanities alumni event today. We had 11 alums from WGST, history, art history, English, anthropology, and philosophy.

Needless to say I am exhausted.

Looks like I’m going to become an aunt for the 14th time. Kids are great and all, but I’m exhausted.

in the span of a few months, trump has deposed or killed 2 world leaders and Congress just let him do it. Where will it end?

When I moved to the Kansas City area I had no idea what to expect from the state of Kansas. Like most east coast snobs I thought it would be terrible. I ended up living in KCMO for 4 years & KCKS for 4 more and loving it. To say that I’m disappointed by KS today is an understatement

Why are mid-term grades due at the end of week 7? It's too early! We don't have any real grades. UGHHH

Every day as I descend the 121 stairs*
from my parking spot to my office, I like to imagine that I’m descending into the Mines of Moria. What monsters will today hold? Why must I bear this burden? What if I just quit everything and retreated to a cave with my jewelry?

*yes, I counted

SMiZE & DREAM | Our Sydney Shop Hot Mama: Hot Ice Cream is a culinary first — a warm, pourable take on the dessert we all thought we knew.

I really can't get over the fact that Tyra Banks owns a "hot ice cream" shop in Australia called "Smize and Dreams"?

Is this real life?

Yeah. She really doesn’t get it at all. Her crocodile tears were really something

A bit of levity in these trying times:

In class today we were talking about a case of girl in the 19th century whose hiccups were believed to be caused by her excessive masturbation. 5 minutes later, I actually got the hiccups. It took the students a second before they burst into laughter

It turns out people did find a cure for the male loneliness epidemic. Unfortunately it was “being friends with Jeffrey Epstein”

After many years of putting it off, I have finally scheduled my hysterectomy for the early summer. What present should I buy myself to celebrate my de-wombing?

Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“. The other person asks „But it answers the questions correctly?“ Person responds „Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no.“

Professors in the Epstein Files Begin to Face Consequences Several faculty members who spoke regularly with Epstein have been stripped of their titles or teaching duties.

"Epstein had pitched [art school dept chair] on a potential art exhibit titled 'Statutory' that would showcase underage models dressed to look older than they were."

He was really just upfront with it.

I know there’s a lot more important things going on in the world, but someone stole my bottle of agave sweetener for the second time in our communal faculty kitchen. This shall not stand! I am determined to unmask the Agave Thief

And yet when I express frustrating that programs like mine are constantly under threat and that we are increasingly restricted from academic inquiry related to women and gender, I am told that I'm being paranoid
