so pissed that i left like thirty typos in, barely reads as a coherent sentence. welcome to my twisted mind...

buddy of mine texts out of the blue to admit he has a drinking problem 10:30 am, i give him a call to talk it out while i'm walking to wawa to grab lunch, intense call wraps up, tryput my headphones away, dropped my case and a headphone slid under an ice cooler case, case is bolted down too. #FuckMe

getting a start on reading a metric shit ton about Jimmy Carter's foreign policy just to martial evidence against a member of faculty here who had the temerity to get into an argument with me about whether that peanut eating freak was a good President or not

You’re Not Gonna Believe Who’s Starring In The Chryon Flux Adaptation

Shit

cutting the fucking (rug) up

online hygiene olympics: Then he sat on my gaming chair with his outdoor pants on, which were touching his underwear, which were obviously touching his ass hole.

really bad legal history of slavery. way too enamored with the comparative angle here to the point of arguing Cuba & Brazil were basically identical societies + makes the fatal flaw of all modern slavery history by romanticizing "agency" without showing the horrific reality of daily life for slaves

Nothing mindblowing, big flaw is that it's all over the place structurally, but an interesting enough history of Japanese-Brazilians relationship to the military dictatorship, the process of assimiliation (and resisting it) along with the creation of a model minority myth within the country

Debate erupts over Haiti's place among top modern revolutons

Look, I'm just not giving Haiti that kind of placement, I'm just not. Look at Louverture - is he an overrated liberator? He has those first couple seasons with the Spanish, but then has his KD to Golden State moment with the French, keeps the plantations... I mean is this our franchise guy?

guy im TA-ing for just told a class of undergrads "yeah WEB Du Bois' Black Reconstruction doesn't hold up to modern scrutiny," alright yeah man for sure. You wanna tell us about how Citizen Kane sucks too

save me some injera I’m otw

Brazilian Van Halen: Paraná!

Just something for the lusophones in the audience 😀

I'd like to think of it as more akin to the sunfish watching a horror movie than anything more nefarious. Just a bit of an adrenaline rush before going on with its day in the enclosure

I would show it this photo before moving on to the next exhibit

Are importance and gravity the only things you can say “utmost” in front of

seeing random pics of me in the crowd at an ICE protest on the local PSL page. looking like I’m gurning the entire time that’s what’s up

playing cine2nerdle got me speaking in gibberish. said out loud “welcome to the Edward Yang cul de sac bitch you’re dead and you don’t even know it”

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

ELON MUSK: your island is so freaking like, based. it's seriously like effing amazeballs. i'm going to basically be making like all of mars totally just like the same as how epic this is
STEPHEN HAWKING: jeff rey why, did you in vite, this lame, ass nerd

some dogs be eating treats and forget who they was eating kibble with

Meet me on the battlefield soldier. I have a blanket and a tray of hor d’oeuvres for us

In a seminar in the poli sci department studying social movements right now because I’m a Moron and 99% of the discussion is “can protesters be described as ‘intelligent’”

The man is right, and look, does the song suck? Yeah. Does it *really* suck? Perhaps. But even if we put the politics aside it’s old man Bruce he’s earned some grace

Neat history behind the school that trained many of the most influential cadres of the civil rights movement. Quite old and with significant lacunary gaps with regards to youth education, but really interesting if you find social movement stuff cool

Not much to say besides this is one of the best histories of gender politics you'll ever read. It's good good stuff

Weinstein's a titan in the field of brazilian history, but this is not her best work. A little thin in trying to assert how a kind of chauvinist exceptionalism among residents of Sao Paulo was a direct causal factor behind the rise of the military dictatorship

Great work covering the hard variances in legal recognition between "real citizens" of Rio de Janeiro and residents in informal settlements / favelas. Informative bit in here about how the introduction of national ID ironically drove the unemployed (who lacked ID) out of formal settlements entirely

There should be a law
