Subtle Trouble

@thebibliosphere

oh my god it hurts

and it's going to hurt forever

The first couple of seasons of this show were so good

Well, someone's messed with the timeline!

back when the brits were only broadly casting wheat and oats, and protestants (scrooby etc)

If you're wondering why there's so much resistance to the idea of a 4-day work week, or why automation hasn't actually led to people working less like it was supposed to...

I miss nadja of antipaxos. you used to be able to turn the tv on once a week and see an insane greek woman ripping people apart and killing and biting and screaming

being extremely out of the loop especially regarding social media trends and discourse means you often end up learning things only after they've been turned into memes like ten times removed from the original context. for example the first time I ever read the term "girl dinner" it was on a gif of the T-Rex from Jurassic Park eating people so you can imagine the confusion when some time later I stumbled upon posts where people were hating on it and calling it gender essentialist

its actually easy to de-enshittify your digital experience all you need to do is install this browser extension and this browser extension and this browser extension and input this custom script into the advanced box and go into your system settings and reconfigure all these options you didnt know existed and change your entire workflow and switch to this alternative operating system and this alternative web browser and this alternative chat client and this alternative word processor and this alternative- sorry that one turned out to be malware delete that one okay now double check your task manager for unwanted background processes and element block these ads and invest in a good VPN and append all your searches with AI blocking keywords and wait a few years until everything you just did becomes shitty too so you can do it all over again okay kitten. its literally that easy.

working at a university really makes any romance set among college undergraduates unreadable but ESPECIALLY the dark romances where they're supposed to be like sinister mastermind daddy doms. he's 20 years old dude. there's a good chance he doesn't know how to do laundry. I know a guy who was living in a house with 4 other dudes when he was 20 and they were all sharing one fork. that guy's not leading the college mafia.

I have undergrads who still ask for permission to swear and use the bathroom in non-classroom social settings. most powerful men in the world my ass.
