But yes, the college-aged man who wrote this apparently liked when women wore bikinis or other revealing clothing when the weather was warm. Maybe just a few years later acceptable social attitudes had shifted on campus just enough that #1 would not have made the list at all. I don't know.

It's possible I've lost my mind. Did I commit a sexism by posting this? I thought it was pretty clear that I posted it because #9 mentions my course... and also I thought it interesting that in 2005 students were touting diversity as a benefit and wireless Internet seemed like a luxury....

We just ran into him a few weeks ago at the Philadelphia Museum of Art—the friend we were with had volunteered at his mosaic Magic Gardens years earlier and they were chatting and catching up. Very sad.

A book cover of Drexel University Off The Record published by collegeprowler and the page from inside the book with the top ten best things about Drexel.
Throwback Thursday to this book from 2005 (part of a series published about lots of colleges). Yes, #1 is inappropriate, but check out #2. And #3 is funny since now that’s everywhere. My favorite, though, is #9.

Today in my Kafka course we’re talking about “Josephine the Singer, or the Mouse Folk.” Anyone who’s ever had the “what is art?” conversation should read it.

I detached and blocked the dipshit who quote-posted this with snarky "you don't have to hand it to..." on the grounds that they do not understand memes or humor or words

So many papers being submitted late. They *are* for my Kafka class, so I guess I should award bonus points for students finishing them at all.

Current rereading to prepare for tomorrow's Kafka class is "Josephine the Singer, or the Mouse Folk." It's extraordinary.

There was a thread today on here about whether writers would use AI to make their work into a movie and writers responded… strongly. That link alone would show your U that the community MFA students are trying to join will shun users of AI.
