“Night Of The Living Dead” (1968)

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

My boyfriend cried reading this, a bunch of strangers told me they cried reading this, and everyone mentioned in this will probably cry reading this, if only in frustration that I'm not dead: jude-doyle.ghost.io/e-bow-the-le...

Normalise emailing people to say you read and enjoyed their work. Academia can be a bleak conveyorbelt of endless negative feedback. Sometimes it's hard to know whether anyone values your work. That's why it means so much when someone takes the time to message and say so! Be that person.

I don't care for how this has become almost a joke people throw in along with how he's old and fat and orange rather than a stomach-churning, existentially horrifying thing for a nation to know about its head of state.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Because I could not scroll past death, death kindly scrolled past me?

Unbelievable loss. An amazing talent, and just a really, really good person. www.instagram.com/p/De8RFy4pyov/

Happy Asexual Awareness Week! 💜

I'll never forget the day we evacuated campus at the outbreak of Covid, obviously for a lot of reasons. But at one point a model stopped me in the hallway and told me how awesome he thought my color scheme was that day. A moment that took some of the weight off of what was happening.

Artists don't need to be miserable, depressed people to be great. That is a toxic myth. But art does need to be miserable and painful and scary at points to be good. There's no shortcut.

MA has a historic number of ballot questions. Here's a handy guide for the 9 statewide ballot questions this year.

Another brilliant essay by Kate Manne. A lot of people want some shocking explanation for why fraternities perpetrate gang rapes. But we already know the answer because patriarchy (and its associated norms like "bro code") are everywhere. The familiarity is why it's so unsettling.

People don't realize how necessary cheap rent is to the arts.

YES. JESUS CHRIST YES. ITS ONLY BEEN AROUND 3 YEARS. WE DON'T NEED IT. www.techspot.com/news/114234-...

Nothing is real except the fact that you are going to die, you can truly do anything you want before that point

The amazing science journalist, Helen Branswell, died recently. Let's celebrate her incredibly contributions by sharing her writing, like the article below. She made a difference in dark times. Thank you, Helen! 🙏❤️🙏❤️ www.statnews.com/2022/02/14/w... via @statnews.com

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Surely if something is a "biological reality", it would be easy enough to cite a source with evidence for that claim?

It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.

I feel like we don’t talk about millennials in particular, hitting our 40s - in earlier generations many of us would be reaching the peak of our careers, but because of disaster after disaster, locust after locust eating our industries, many of us are on our 3rd or 4th fresh start.

"YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK"

If you want to read more for yourself, including detailed analyses of individual cases and lots and lots of stories from survivors and perpetrators about how they were treated, here’s a link to the book:

I spent a year watching school administrators do their jobs—and interviewing the students most impacted. I spoke to @thecut.com in a long-form Q&A about what I saw. Mainly, a system designed to protect perpetrators and punish victims in each and every case.

Spent some time at the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument enjoying the sights and sounds.

MA Democrats: Vote No on Question 3 Apart from the fact that it would make it easier for big money to rig elections, it would also give Republicans the power to eliminate a candidate who could potentially win a normal Dem primary. Plus... Moulton is for it, so you know it's a bad idea.

I was raped at a frat party. It’s a shockingly common experience and preventative interventions in college are way too late.

When I started making artwork that directly dealt with my experiences with depression, reading about what Darwin went through was really eye-opening.

Eating pomegranate and washing it down with pomegranate juice.

This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

Your life will be much better without this kind of "friend" in it. A fantastic reward in and of itself.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

All of this is happening to college students at the very beginning of their adult lives. It shapes everything that comes after. And it shapes society for the rest of us too. Imagine what our world would look like if all of those women had been able to complete their educations, free from violence.

Kat is right about all of this. One of the reasons that college sexual violence is uniquely devastating is because it changes the victim’s entire future.
