The best thing...
about working in higher ed is the absurd amount of vacation time you get around the holidays. I am so stoked to have this whole week off.
Of course, the worst thing about my current position is knowing that my contract is up in July and that I have no idea where I’m going to work next and feeling desperate and directionless whenever I look at job listings.

BEST WEDNESDAY
I’m at my desk eating cake for breakfast

I've been reading a lot...
on my dash lately about the role that property destruction and violent protest play in contemporary politically radical communities (much of this discussion has been sparked by the rampant reblogging of photos of UK students protesting the tuition fees increase, many of these photos w/o context or commentary) and I’ve got to say, at this stage in my life, I’m not comfortable with how...

how disgusting & yet unsurprising that lefty folks (including self-proclaimed feminists, including well-known self-proclaimed feminists like naomi wolf) are happy to sacrifice the rights & personhood of women & assault survivors when a leftist golden calf like assange is on the chopping block. somehow, when critical thinking is suspended, it seems like it’s usually women who...
