imo engaging critically with texts and scholars is not something you should just do when you disagree, but also when you agree. it can be enriching to identify the limitations of an author or activist that you largely agree with because it can give you broader perspective and opportunity for introspection. also, to put it bluntly, everyone says stupid shit at one time or another, so you shouldn't uncritically accept everything someone says to you.

[desinteresse]

Men who talk shit about gold diggers underestimate the grit it takes to put up with an insufferable man, even when money is involved. We should be thanking them for their service like they are veterans.

in case folk outside the UK aren't abreast of our news, the British press just hounded a black academic to death

[key-pair]

a rough timeline of events (from memory, there may be inaccuracies, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

Cambridge professor of sociology Jason Arday is accused of plagiarism by another academic

the accuser is a "race realist" who believes that in a true meritocracy all university professors would be white. this is somehow not acknowledged much during the entire ordeal

this leads to several days of media coverage demanding an investigation, or that Arday is expelled from his post immediately

somehow this accusation that has no effect on the lives of 99.99% of the population becomes FRONT PAGE NEWS in all the newspapers for multiple days, above anything else happening in the UK or the world at large

following intense media scrutiny, Arday resigns his post as a Cambridge professor

today, august 14th, days after resigning, Arday is found dead at his home in Battersea

the British tabloid press remains, and will always be, fucking evil

[cantdrawtosavemylife]

Went to google more news about professor Jason Arday, and I swear to God the first two pages of research are rancid propaganda sites smearing the man's reputation, up to and including popular Brazilian news magazine Veja.

This article by professor Kehinde Andrews clarifies more about the story of racist harassment Arday has been suffering since he fucking got a teaching job at Cambridge in the first place, in 2023, as the FIRST Black professor in that fucking stupid institution, who sure is taking it's sweet time defending their worker, despite already fucking checking his work for plagiarism and saying he didn't do it:

https://www.voice-online.co.uk/opinion/comment/2026/08/07/ardays-resignation/

A dark agenda lies behind Jason Arday's resignation - Voice Online

Arday's resignation has reignited questions about race and who is truly accepted at the highest levels of British academia

Several of the academics who harassed this man into suicide do not seem to have suffered at all in their academic careers. Actually, Dave Harris, who lost his Emeritus title for his racist behavior back in 2024 (something the news only call "criticizing Critical Race Theory", instead of "sent racist emails to fellow black academics"), was defended by Plymouth University, where he used to work, and fucking got the title back earlier this year.

[cannibalgender]

A couple things about the above.

1. He wasn’t the first Black Professor at Cambridge, but he WAS the youngest X

2. He was ALSO autistic, and nonverbal for the first 11 years of his life X

The rest of the story unfolds pretty much as described. And he was a fucking Sociologist studying racial equity in schools and academia. They publicly bullied a black autistic man to suicide for being imperfect whilst asserting a place for blackness in academia.

i fell into the pit(t) and found new sad characters to think about. i love how the fandom looked at Dennis, his anxious and sad looking face, the fact that he's a farm boy who majored in theology before switching to medicine and said: ''this boy has so much religious trauma and guilt plus masive family issues'' and then wrote whole fics about it

and then a week back, i found a really good fanfic (The car's in reverse by third_crow), that motivated my burned out brain and body to draw for fun again. According to krita it took me 8 hours to finish this and for the whole time i listened to one song and one song only (Noah Kahan - The View Between Villages which also inspired the fic in the first place!)

(unblured photo and the process of drawing under the cut)

Had to blur the photo on the final piece, bc that's how it is in the story but i liked it so i'm posting the unblured version as well (drawing new faces for the first time is always so hard man, especially if you are very uncomfortable with staring at people, even if it is just a picture)

+ some phases from the drawing process! i just ended up painting over the colored sketch because my brain wasn't up to do the lineart (which has mainly been my drawing process for the last 15 years)

I don’t think we’re rick rolling each other enough anymore. 1. it CANNOT die out 2. this under saturated market is perfect for unsuspecting victims who’ve been lulled into a false sense of security. be the person you hate. bring back the dastardly link

[json-derulo]

someone actually studied the falling Rick Roll rate for their Ph.D dissertation recently and published the paper

[junefrombug]

okay but this made me wonder if there was actually any academic literature on rickrolling and YES THERE IS this is a paper about rickrolling WITHIN academic literature. As in, studies that attempt to rickroll the people reading them. Best part is no one is going to believe me and click that link even though it’s 100% true.

[niltia]

My friend's book is mentioned in this paper!!

[teaboot]

There is no earthy way of convincing anyone that the rickroll study link is real. But for what it's worth. It is

[cat-26]

I have a new goal in my almost-finished PhD dissertation.

[thatwasfunnypleaselaugh]

Second link's good guys, truly

[type-blaze0]

Teaboot's right, there is basically nothing on earth that could convince me to click the second link. I genuinely believe it might be real, but i'm not touching it.

Me, pointing to the mirror: Do NOT become The Joker about this. This isn’t even a Condiment King situation.
