Taylor Lautner is the only one doing celebrity right. Take the money from your giant franchise and enjoy your quiet and unproblematic life. Marry a nice person with the same name as you. Practice your backflips in obscurity until Taylor Swift asks to see you.

It's sad to see members of a group that was once persecuted punching down at another that is still persecuted. But even the Church of Latter Day Saints has been known to update their beliefs about sexuality (noticing just the one wife in the photo).

I once saw a mildly bored actor enter a meeting, in a non-entertainment office building, by somersaulting into a cartwheel into a ballet leap, it was 8:45 AM

Do you want people with that kind of energy mad at you, AMPTP? Are you SURE?

if you see people as human and treat people as human, all equally deserving of self-determination and self-autonomy, then you know that translation can never be automated: there is no language without people, no meaning without context, no truth without nuance

One of my biggest blessings is that I grew up in Ohio in the early 90’s and 2000s. I thought I was straight. I thought I was a (failed) girl. I thought I was a Republican. I regurgitated a lot of dumb hateful shit through bad, insensitive jokes. I call this a blessing because…

@_c_perry For whatever it's worth--my work usually falls within the realm of ethnography, so my methods are based in that kind of approach. (It's also a useful way to address how knowledge is embodied and situated in relation to the data I'm gathering)

lord of the rings is fantasy because a man could never be as good as aragorn in real life

everyone else writing a Disney+ Star Wars show: “the thesis of my show is I played with action figures as a kid and now I get to make my favorite characters do cool things :)”

Succession Swifties love how the Boar on the Floor episode was filmed in the same location as Blank Space MV ❤️

Recently, a date said they were an INTJ (i.e., Myers Briggs). I told her, “I'm a PhD in psychology. I refuse to entertain some unscientific typology of personality with dubious scientific backing.”

I took pride in expressing my needs. As a Pisces, I really struggle with that.

“You don’t have to do anything weird. This is a conference.” Love a moment for embodiment alongside scholarship, many thanks to Petra Kuppers #astr2022

Joycelyn Reynolds at the #astr2022 Resisting Catastrophe plenary: “I’m looking around the room, and this doesn’t look like a very diverse group, but it is what it is.”
I mean…not wrong

Sometimes conferences are magical and serendipitous, and sometimes it’s me shoving Chex mix in my face because I haven’t eaten for eight hours

I think the real mistake the sandman makes is assuming that a gay serial killer with teeth for eyes is the darkest possible nightmare when actually in comparison to an impulsive oligarch with 44 billion dollars and an axe to grind the corinthian is comparatively aspirational

@VicLaFave Amazing! Yes I will be there—I’ll keep an eye out for you! ☺️
