sure fine whatever call me woke but i AM “monomaniacally fixated on queequeg” (complimentary) 😭
McSweeney's@mcsweeneys.net · 4d ago"Look, I’ve got nothing against Queequeg. He’s a nice guy. And he can spy a whale spout in a hurricane. And hit a nickel-sized moving target in open water in one steel stroke. But all those 'biggee' tattoos? Tell me they don’t scream 'diversity hire.'"

Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 3d agoAnyway, I made a reading list in public. I try to avoid doing that. The Twitter “syllabus” wars scarred me. It’s gonna be a touchy few days.
Some days I open up the internet to escape from offline life. And some of those days I then close the internet to escape from online life.
ICYMI: I adapted 'the list' (the basic logistics your executor needs to close out utilities, find your money, and call your friends) into a real live thing you can use! Get it on my website...and then make a plan with a friend to actually sit down and fill it out.
