What do you do when the biggest scholar in your area offers to be on your dissertation committee but you already have six members?!?!

you can be a fan of a show and point out its flaws
you can enjoy something and still criticize it
discussing issues which are necessary to be talked about is as much part of a fandom as anything else and has nothing to do with fighting
the idea of a fandom is that you are more than a passive consumer who accepts things mindlessly

It is such an annoyingly hipster thing to invite people over to your house on the pretense of a cookout and then hold them hostage and make them listen to you play music.
I mean, I’m not saying it’s awful or anything, but if I really wanted to hear you play I would go to one of your shows, instead of being crammed into your office while you musically masturbate in front of 10...

But that morning, she mixed some chemicals together in a small water bottle that caused a tiny explosion. There was a bang and some smoke, but nobody was even close to being hurt.
I remember doing experiments like that in high...

Apparently some Americans are going to do their own version of Bron/Broen, just like they did with The Killing/Forbrydelsen.
Good luck with that. I hate you.
SUPER LONG DAY
It was my last day of TAing for the semester. I handled a complaining student well. I read the rest of Murasaki’s Diary. I scheduled my prospectus defense. Refilled my bc scrip (for free - thanks Obama!) Skyped with a committee member, and had drinks and complained with the only two other ancient history people I like. And then I came home to find my credit card number has...

Ohhhhh yes. Ever meet someone who is creepy, gross, awkward, ugly and boring? Then feel like you can’t judge them because those things aren’t necessarily (all) their fault?

afieldoflilacs:
Here it is! I put together a complete playlist of every song in the first series of My Mad Fat Diary, and I thought I’d share it with everyone. Beyond the Read More is a list of every song included + download links.
Note: A lot of songs appear in multiple episodes (e.g. Champagne Supernova, Wild Wood, etc.), so I have only included them in the first episode they appear in.

How to talk about white people →
Racists, let me recommend this article to you. It has everything you like!
“White privilege doesn’t exist. We should really talk about class instead. Please be nice to the poor white people and don’t treat them the way we treated you when we were the majority!”
Salon, get your fucking act together. This is disgusting.

There’s a comforting-to-white-people fiction about racism and racial inequality in the United States today: They’re caused by a small, recalcitrant group who cling to their egregiously inaccurate beliefs in the moral, intellectual and economic superiority of white people.
The reality: racism and racial inequality aren’t just supported by old ideas, unfounded group esteem or...
