The government has us convinced that we don't all deserve healthcare or housing so I'm not going to hold my breath for art.

But, damn. That's awesome.

I am unemployed and extremely fucked up, though. I will laugh in their faces for you. I will quote Holy Grail at them and fart in their general direction. I will hoot and holler about A1 steak sauce.

Fuck these unserious rich people so much.

All of you academics have to behave and somehow remain dignified and professional and take all of this seriously when the people in the government are absolutely not doing any of that. You have to pretend that they are, though.

I cannot stress this enough: I am very stupid and no university or college has ever hired me but I want to respond by laughing in their faces and saying, You. Know. Nothing.

These are literally the boys that decided to go to Jupiter to get more stupider.

I absolutely know more about higher education than those in the government right now. That's scary because I'm a fucking idiot that can't find a job.

Love that academics have to waste their time and resources to write brilliant nuanced responses to all the absolute shit being thrown at them by the federal government that was probably written by AI and glossed over by jackasses that know nothing about higher ed.

Second: men will not talk to people about this stuff. We have a man problem. I actually brought this up with the guy and he was like, yeah, I can't talk about this stuff to anyone so I talk to AI.

Men can't talk about how to be better dads because it's taboo.

First though: couldn't you get similar results from Google??? Why are people using AI instead of search engines now??!

Oh, wait. Search engines have been rendered useless by $$$ to show us ads and slop.

Someone I have a professional relationship with confided in me that he uses AI to "be a better dad". He asks it what to do with his kids "other than screen time". He thought it was profound when it told him to just take walks with his kids.

I have many thoughts that make me want to rip out my hair.

He looks like 00s era hipsters. Gatekeeping, exclusivity, and looking down on others in order to feel superior were hallmarks of people (mostly men) from that era. I used to be *really* into those people & desperately wanted to fit in & be liked by them. Now? I'm too old for that shit & so is he.

I am judging him solely on this post and the photo he uses as his avatar.

It's late night wishing hours! I am wishing that I was making out with a hot dad or being charmed and seduced by a hot ska femme. Wheeeeeee!

This is probably the biggest thing about me that says the inside of my brain is wildly different than everyone else's. To me, at least. I know I am easily very weird to others.

pay attention. this matters. they are erasing history. when you erase history you also erase the lessons learned.
