I used to be an academic, but now I just post. She/her.

Julie Bindel in 2026 eulogising Rod Liddle, who had a police caution for assaulting his pregnant girlfiend, and Julie Bindel in 2022 saying it's her "duty as a feminist" to point out when a prominent man who died was a domestic abuser. "Gender criticism" rots out any moral core you ever possessed...

My surgery has gone smoothly, however I've been hit with an unexpected surcharge of 1.3k above the highest prior estimate. It really sucks to be in financial straits while in recovery, so I'm reopening my fundraiser. Please help if you can gofund.me/2bd9ebd3a

What comes over, for me, in Wilson's writing about The Odyssey is the kind of passion and fascination for a subject that comes from dedicating your life to studying it and that is inherently more interesting than anything anybody who wants to treat Nolan as a sacred cow has to say.

Like if you truly were passionate about this subject, you would welcome an expert in it presenting you with some challenging takes on it. But you're not, you just want to be told you're very special for knowing the vague plot outline of one of the most famous works of fiction in human history.

I think the rage directed at Wilson shows how hollow the "But he's getting people interested in the classics" line is. Like he probably is and Wilson, correctly, understands that as an academic studying classics this is a moment to talk about her specialism a bunch to a new audience.

mad fucking props to Dr Wilson for looking at the internet going absolutely stupid at her and going alright, fuck it, round two let's go bitches

yeah the threesome scene in new gits is alright i suppose but have you seen the bit in standalone complex where the major fires anti-tank rounds into a mech over and over while straddling it until the person inside eventually asphyxiates and dies

the best way to describe my feelings about people occasionally assuming I'm a trans woman is this Lady Gaga interview where she told Anderson Cooper she doesn't give a fuck because it doesn't matter

Anderson Cooper:There was that rumour that you had a male appendage,

Lady Gaga: Maybe I do.
Would it be so terrible?
My fans don't care and neither do l.

This case is a terrifying reminder of the fact that being charged with a crime upends your life. Maria Rojas has had her midwifery license suspended, and the conditions of her bond prohibit her from working in healthcare in any capacity. Texas didn't just arrest her, they took away her livelihood.

“The problem is that there's a human being on the other end of whatever political point it is they're trying to make," said an attorney for Maria Rojas, the Texas midwife who is the first person to be prosecuted under the state's criminal abortion ban.

this is an interesting interview and if i were clipping it for social media i would have excerpted "We're still a place where we don't downrank links. We love sending traffic to people. We send two million clicks a day to publishers" rather than the part that'll just piss people off lol

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
