union trash. He/they. shoot him again, his soul is still dancing. 50/50 chance I'm warning you about some argument you're having with a bot account (block it already you don't have to share with the class!)
yesterday a bunch of people misinterpreted my distaste for the term “friendslop” as me saying the type of game it describes doesn’t exist. that’s not true. my point is that the linguistic construction of the term itself is horrible and we don’t need to accept 4chan bullshit in our daily lives

People are clamoring for Costco to get into the donut hole game. Across the country, a single demand: Costco should make and sell donut holes at their bakeries. Many are saying this!

leaning back in my chair, running a hand over my chin, tapping on the desk for a minute, then clicking "interested"
the average american liberal does not believe muslims are fully human. you cannot explain anything about the last 25 years of american politics without acknowledging this reality
Captain: General, im afraid the news isnt good sir. The enemy. Theyre serving, sir. Theyre serving, im being told theyre serving cunt, sir General: My god. Captain, issue word to the men. We need every soldier putting their entire pussy into this next charge, no exceptions. Deserters will be shot
A real question: were classicists acting this insane about O Brother, Where Art Thou when it came out
democrat voters, even those with a racist attitude towards arabs, do not like being seen as or made to feel like gutter racists. it is declasse to do such a thing as a democrat politician. the last 40 years has proven people invested in racism as a brand vote republican and don't waver from that

I have a major piece up today at The Key. It's about Israel, parsing the rape baked into Zionism's core grammar. I speak of trained dogs; Screams Without Words; Sde Teiman; the Tomer-Yerushalmi affair; and the Palestinian Feminist Collective on sexual violence's centrality to reproductive genocide.
UEFA has just unanimously decided to boycott both men's and women's World Cups over FIFA's attempt to sell the global game to private equity. Damn.
