Caleb Meyer (Mayer?) by Gillian Welch. Trigger warning attempted rape, bloody self-defense homicide.

Idk. I mean I think he probably is a narcissist, but this language seems more on the delusional side to me. Like his interpretation of the world and people’s motives and stuff is just... off, even though it has an internal logic. Reminds me of a couple of manic episodes I’ve witnessed.

Word salad, I think, though rather mild. He still seems to be somewhat delusional/odd thought processes happening.

She was a video artist who made a couple feature-length films and is now somehow kind of mainstream famous (I don’t know how that happened exactly. I hadn’t paid attention to her since she was only kinda art world famous. She came and guest taught a video class I took in college in the late 90s, which is why I was

Don’t feel bad about that! Air travel can just crush you. I fly a lot and have gotten pretty chill about it, and I still ended up crying in the Rome airport last year because my connection got messed up and even though I got my flight rebooked like five different people/agencies claimed that they could not issue my

I can’t tell if you’re trolling, crazy, or an adolescent.

what’s impressive to me about this is how completely wrong this song is for her voice. it’s not just her age... it’s the inconsistency in pacing/pronunciation, and something else is just weird. i don’t know enough about music to describe it - does she keep switching keys or something?

I see your majors and raise you a PhD in art history. I have not yet died, but then, I’m only 36.

haha probably quite positive. she’s very into anything vegan.

I know Linda Blair and she kinda hates the Exorcist. Just thought I’d toss that in.

I (cis-female, bisexual, queer) kept my natel name when I married my husband (cis-male, mostly hetero). If we have children, which is a big if, they’ll have my last name. My dad has a big family and it’s an identity thing for me, plus I’ve already published under that name. Also my husband has a Flemish last name

That’s German, not Dutch. Is it really that hard to look up literally one word?

it definitely keeps my grandfather from being a bigger bastard than he is. i think it’s weird, but fear of divine punishment works for at least some people.

Ugh, that sucks! For me it’s the opposite. I’m not on the pill exactly, but hormonal birth control via Nuvaring for the last 10-ish years. The last couple of years I’ve noticed that when I take a month off (I’m bad at filling prescriptions on time, ok?) the flood of hormones that comes with natural PMS is enough

down, troll.

I know in medieval & early modern Europe it was explicitly seen as a sign of submission to male authority (i.e. fathers & husbands). I’d find a reference but am too lazy. Anyway I guess it’s a relic of that dynamic.

This happened to me some years ago when I was looking for a short-term rental. One of the messages I got seemed legit, person sent info on a sublet with pictures. Said she was Dutch, and since her English was terrible I thought I’d be helpful and reply in Dutch which I oddly do speak. She answered again in English,

But he wasn’t her advisor. He’s not a professor, he’s a government employee in Alaska and she was helping him create a database as part of her PhD research. This article (and the Tribune one linked) is very vague about the role of this research in her PhD, when she did or didn’t report the problem to the university,

Dude. DTMFA.
