Mothma'am 🦇

what am i going to do with my degree, you ask? obviously I'm going to organize a fleet of sleuths to discover the location of shakespeare's skull and finally (FINALLY) bedazzle it

Pope Leo XVI is likely the first Pope to have eaten Culver's

haven't been here in a while but i made a bluesky account bsky.app/profile/howlik…

they should make a new tarrare

@nectarinespiral i saw that with a friend and immediately after the movie i went "so i have a friend who did that"

for context this is a vague of the worst tweet i've maybe seen all year sorry to inflict it on you

if you say "all work is valid work" they legally can't try you at the Hague

BREAKING: Hollywood writers are striking. They’re fighting for their livelihoods against billion-dollar studios and streaming companies who have been squeezing writers to eke out more profits. Writers didn’t shut down Hollywood — the studios did.

WE DID IT

IT'S THE POST YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR: UMN GRADUATE WORKERS HAVE A UNION! We won 2487 yes votes to 70 no- that's 97% in favor of a union! The hard work of countless graduate workers pays off!

In my satsuma era. My cuties era. My tangerine era. My naartjie era. They're just nature's fruity little gift, made to be unwrapped. And I'll be damned if I'm not unwrapping every damn orange in the bag

I'm so desperately curious if the design of the Terrible Dogfish from the latest @dimension20show episode was at all inspired by the whale at the house on the rock, because it gave me some flashbacks to walking under its massive mouth

The moment you’ve been waiting for is finally here! Graduate workers at the University of Minnesota are signing cards in support of unionizing because we know we are stronger together–and that the U works because WE do! Learn more at umnglu.org

whenever i have to walk somewhere and it's cold I'm like "this is JUST like the left hand of darkness"

Two way side streets in Minneapolis are effectively one ways right now because they still haven’t been properly cleared from the last big snowfall but the city somehow has time and resources to bulldoze tents and displace people who have nowhere else to go? Disgusting.

@NoahGuth it does seem to be a trend lately that writers (or maybe more so publishers?) are scared of ambiguity, which is disappointing because so often it gives the impression that they do not trust the reader.

@NoahGuth i don't think it's entirely new; lots of 19th century novelists loved to tell you way too much about way too much, & one of my favorite examples of "loved this book but i could not explain a thing that happens in it" is the buried giant from 2015, but (1/2)

do you ever read a novel and think "god i wish this shit was more ambiguous"
