The painting in the image is titled "Window at Night" (1969) by the British artist Patrick Caulfield (1936–2005), according to google.

There is a special ring in hell for professors who make all their students buy the expensive textbook they wrote.

You know what is so crazy about the college experience.

The other day I was working on this group project and I was talking to one of the guys in my group. It came up that he is actually 35, married and has 2 kids (would not have guessed that he looks like 26).

He was saying how he had started college in 2009, then dropped out and came back to finish his business degree.

I was 4-5 years old in 2009.

And there we were in the same class, working on a group project together.

I’m the one in the family who pays for the Disney+ subscription. I can give and take away anyone’s account, this is too much power for any one mortal. The power, it’s gone to my head!

Another horrible dimension to the 3rd quarter quell I just realized.

Let’s say it had gone as planned by the capital.

Would the losing victor’s families lose all the victor privileges like the house in victors village and the money?

Would they be plunged back into poverty?

It’s ironic Coriolanus’s catchphrase is “Snow lands on top”

Since he’s such a bottom

It's always funny how Finnick realizes in the arena that Katniss really loves Peeta and that she wouldn't be of ANY help if he died

No one will ever be more stressed than him, a temporary single mother of two children who works multiple jobs trying to keep them both alive

My favorite word I’ve discovered reading Shakespeare is “Sirrah” which is like “sir” but derogatory, it connotes that the person you’re talking to has a lower social rank.

So it’s like saying “I know I’m better than you, but also I’m polite”

Extreme condescension, 10/10 we should bring it back.

[lucygraysmockingjays]

My genuine reaction when people get mad at me for referring to Katniss as a covey girl…. It’s almost as if Suzanne Collins was telling a story about forced cultural assimilation………

Every day on TikTok I feel like shouting you don’t have to make up conspiracy theories about rich people they are doing all the shitty things pretty much out in the open.

So my uncle calls me a few months ago while I’m on my winter break and says hey I’m going away for a week can you watch my dogs.

I agreed and because he lives a state away and I don’t own a car I took the train.

He comes to pick me up from the train station and as we are driving back he puts on some music.

So my uncle is this 50 year old man and out of his speakers blasts what I can only describe as emo teenage girl music.

So I tell him “hey, this sounds like emo teenage girl music I didn’t really think this would be your thing.”

And he laughs and says yeah I let your cousin (emo teenage girl) use my Spotify and it messed up my recommendations.

But now I kinda like it.

So we just drove the rest of the way listening to Mitski and Avril Lavigne and whatever the kids (I’m 21, but apparently “chopped” and “unc” according to my younger cousins and siblings) are listening to these days.

Anyway I had a great time dog sitting here are Joy and Sunshine the bestest girls.

'Tis the season to unpack some stuff about Christmas from a minority perspective:

Christmas is a Christian holiday. The fact that many celebrate it in an irreligious way (which is valid!) does not change its origins, connotations, symbolism, nor what it has historically meant for religious minorities.

The idea that Christmas is "secular" (read: neutral) is a product of Christian hegemony and the blindness of many in Christian countries to the permeation of Christianity as "default" culture.

When someone says they don't celebrate Christmas since it's a Christian holiday, it is not actually reassuring or helpful to say something along the lines of "oh well it's just a secular day of family & presents for everyone! So you can celebrate it too!"

Though the above statement is usually well-intentioned, it is often distressing to hear because it is untrue and is erasing our lived experiences. The reflexive effort to make Christmas universal is a cultural reverberation of the millennia-old evangelizing effort to make Christianity universal, and as such, can be very uncomfortable for religious minorities.

Insisting Christmas is ‘for everyone’ is Christian proselytizing. Send tweet.

its so funny watching people veer so far to the left that they start reinventing things like race science, segregation, purity politics, censorship, misogyny, bioessentialism, anti-theism, nationalism, lynch mobs, capital punishment and group punishment, etc.

and by funny I mean fucking terrifying but I have to laugh otherwise I'll spiral.
