Allow me to present the #marvel character find of the day: Rapskullion, the gaudy Skeletor rip-off who thinks evil is good and by that he means evil.

Pleased to announce that my first vocabulary quiz has been added to @MerriamWebster’s puku app! See if you can guess the theme. #MayThe4thBeWithYou

[Zach Schechter @ZSchecht]

@ReenaAlter Madness, next you’ll tell me they need bodies too! (Thanks for answering!)

[Zach Schechter @ZSchecht]

Are these essays supposed to have intros and conclusions? #honorsonpop

If your party doesn't include a green knight showing up to demand that a champion strike the head from his body so that he may return the blow in a year and a day, don't bother inviting me

@ProfCKHong Noice, here’s hoping for Thursday

[Zach Schechter @ZSchecht]

@ProfCKHong Is that extra day a Saturday? Is there a way something can be worked out for sabbath observers?

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is just a reboot of Hansel and Gretel pass it on

@jimmie_shields1 Donny Drapes!

[Zach Schechter @ZSchecht]

@AndrewRosner4 @jimmie_shields1 It’s the only way I can experience the taste of bacon

"I don't wanna shit on squirrels"- Jimmie, friend to all squirrels. #honorsonpop

And how that doesn’t necessarily imply a blood relationship

[Zach Schechter @ZSchecht]

A lot of these poems seem to be about dismantling preconceived notions. Mending Wall is about a wall that 2 neighbors keep between them for no reason other than because it’s always been there though by the end the narrator realizes that it doesn’t sit right with him #honorsonpop

[Zach Schechter @ZSchecht]

Death of Hired Man deals with our preconceived notions of familial responsibility and how “family” and “home” don’t necessarily remain the same through the entirety of ones life. I especially like the notion of home being “where they have to take you in”

[Zach Schechter @ZSchecht]

I’ll tell you this I rolled my eyes really fucking hard when I saw they were marketing it as an anime

[Zach Schechter @ZSchecht]

Rover walks a really weird line between “love triangles and costumed hijinks” and “a lot of these characters are casually down with rape” #honorsonpop

“Nay, the lord knows- but if I should be hanged, I cannot choose but be angry and afraid when I think that mad fellow should be in love with anybody but me” (103) It seems like this Helena has some shades of Midsummer’s Helena in her #honorsonpop
