Damn, I thought I was special! My notifications were filled with a bunch of follows today. I ain’t mad, I’m most excited about Pictorial.

I didn’t get the love, either. We’re just gray, gray, all the way down.

I was only ever followed by Millihelen, for which I still weep.

I am just testing here. I am always confused anyways because I have two different burner account on my home computer and work computer (due to about 6 months of constantly losing my burner keys after the original changeover.) I was followed by some on one account and some on the other.

What, you don’t think an echo chamber is a good idea?

Lainey has been kicking ass on this issue the past few months.

Every semester, I require one of my classes to have their discussions/resource sharing on Twitter. I do this for various pedagogical reasons, namely for the editing of writing and potential for “real conversation.” It’s mostly gone well, despite the fact that we discuss potentially difficult topics related to social…

I have been commenting since we had to audition to comment, and was never un-grayed in Kinja. Still gray today. Not that I’m bitter.

la roche posay anthelios 50 is my HG. Doesn't break out my acne prone skin!

As a Jezebelian you have way more in common with Tumblr than you think. The two sites are practically mirror images of each other. Don’t let yourself believe that you are so much better.

Actually my liberal friends are applauding this move and it’s the right wingers I know who are decrying it because they think it means they can’t speak their minds about “core American issues.” So in reality everyone ruined what was supposed to be a good thing.

Reminds me of a kid in my AP English class who didn’t want to read “House of the Spirits” because... penis something? I don’t even remember. He got his dad and pastor involved and they tried to get the book banned. (Luckily they failed.) Meanwhile, as soon as the kid told the teacher he wouldn’t read the book because…

Man, that sucks that you had to drop the film. I haven’t had anything that extreme, it’s mostly either lazy kids who think they’ll get an easier assignment or the type of student who doesn’t want anyone to ready anything they don’t like. My student in the example above wanted to petition the school to ban The Sandman…

I have had this happen to me as well. I can’t say that this is always how it works but it was clear to me that the student who pulled this on me just simply didn’t want to have to deal with the film I was showing. I say this because the week before I showed a film where she was amongst the students who complained that…

I boggle at the fact that there are students who would refuse to read the incredible works of graphic novel artistry and writing that are Sandman and Maus.

It’s changing. I’m also in the greys now for the third fucking time, and I’m not sure I can sustain the desire to come here because of it.

...yes, so turn the page of the bio textbook. The problem with a spider biting you is that it could kill you, not scare you. You don’t get a warning that spiders are about to scare you.

As a current student at the University of Chicago I can agree with your BFs sentiment. It must be in the water. I thought the statement (and this is the first time I am seeing it) is balanced and very needed.

As a college professor I can only speak from my experience and here it is: trigger warnings are used by students mainly as a way of getting out of work or for not having to read literature that they don’t want to. In legit cases (such as a veteran fresh from Afghanistan who didn’t want to watch a segment of Band of…

I was having a conversation with my boyfriend just last night about safe spaces on college campuses. He is against them, generally speaking, and went to University of Chicago. MUST BE IN THE WATER.
