Not to you but to everyone, generally: all major parties to both the World Wars had colonies. All major parties to both world wars used colonial subjects (or subjected citizens, as per the States) in combat. It’s quite an established historical record in any European nation involved in the wars (and those on the…

I work in academia. Indigenous peoples are less than 1% of all tenure track or tenured hires in the academy. Black academics fare barely better. Same for Latinos. We are all least likely to receive tenure even when producing rigorous scholarship for prestigious journals and presses at the same *or better* rate as our…

Vince! Both the Little Boy Tee (crew neck) and the Little Boy V-Neck Tee. Here. If you wash on a delicate cycle and air-dry, it will last you forever. I love mine. I own very few clothes as I live between three countries out of one suitcase, so even my basic items must be solid. I have two of the Vince V-necks in…

I’m just over here applauding you for so clearly expressing your point to folks who cannot seem to hear it. And also, thanks for doing that labour.

Thank you!

Thanks again! The self-care advice is also super helpful.

Thank you - this is all really good for me to know.

Thank you - and again, I’m totally aware of the risks beyond the obvious (blood clots, at my age and of my gender/birth control history being a big one), but I wanted to know what I should ask of my physician.

Should I ask for a lung cancer screening? Or are there other exams I should ask for as well?

I have a question, and please let me preface this with a statement that I understand I make unhealthy choices in my life and I do not require a lecture on them (I am aware), but I still would like advice from anyone who has experience with similar things and/or is otherwise qualified to help.

Yes, I loathe Heathrow but this is the best system I’ve encountered too.

The (white, middle and upper class) English are so incredibly prudish about sex, it’s amazing. I remember watching McQueen’s film Shame in the theatre - in hip, young, gentrifying East London, no less! The audience was so uncomfortable the entire time.

Or you could pop over to Germany on the train, stock up on tobacco for 60-80 euro per 500 grams three or four times a year and call it a day.

SNAPE. I CRIED HARDEST FOR SNAPE. BECAUSE I LOVED HIM LIKE LILY NEVER DID.

No, actually, enslaved peoples going on a general strike ended slavery. Enslaved people literally freed themselves in the United States. This was established by W.E.B. Du Bois in his 1935 book Black Reconstruction in America, further studied in John Hope Franklin’s edited anthology on the emancipation proclamation in…

Mirena makes my periods erratic and much longer (6-7 days rather than the 3-4 pre-insertion), BUT only one of those days is a heavy heavy flow as opposed to the entire cycle demanding super+ tampons that I experienced prior. I think only slightly half of women who have Mirena experience the lightened/no period…

Yes. It does. And it is... frustrating.

She always looks and talks like a space cadet. My ex lives next door to her in LA and that woman was never not... off.

He’s not British, is he? Other reports said the bloke’s from Aberdeen. And then millions of Scots and Egyptians simultaneously said, “AH YES - that does make sense now.”

Yeah, no. I teach at a massive private R1 and I applaud these students. The only ill results of their protests impact those who deserve it: bloated administrations, overzealous campus police, abusive faculty and greek organisations. They’re getting shit done, and power to them.
