@DigitalDionysu1 that’s not a very nice way to speak abt us

[alaska @145k4]

everyone wants to say "this poem sucks" that poem sucks"" etc but very few brave enough to say Helllo, here is a poem i LIKE!! This is my taste!

[Erin Woo @erinkwoo]

[Crossbowoman Aleks ✨✌️ 🇵🇸 @KrasnayaAleks]

Yes, it's called "historiography", and it's been going on for about three millennia or so

[grace 💐 @gmhlawrence]

@joseph_rohrbach @ericesheng @si_rubinstein ouch and ouch

[grace 💐 @gmhlawrence]

@DigitalDionysu1 jumpscare

[grace 💐 @gmhlawrence]

@joseph_rohrbach dni at any gaudies 🚫

[grace 💐 @gmhlawrence]

@joseph_rohrbach almost as offensive as your choice of masters strand

[grace 💐 @gmhlawrence]

@joseph_rohrbach @aisiantonas @elsilt thanks for good discourse - alas, i’m off to touch grass

[grace 💐 @gmhlawrence]

@joseph_rohrbach @aisiantonas @elsilt fair enough - us comps (oral exam testing knowledge of subject) potentially good system to check understanding v regurgitation. think exam formats for humanities don’t help w stem disparity. personally pro most people coming out w good grades for jobs - less morally invested

[grace 💐 @gmhlawrence]

@joseph_rohrbach @aisiantonas @elsilt what do you mean by ‘coast’? stu quality = hours spent working? personally believe that both sci and hum stus should be rewarded for more demonstrations of ‘done the work’ vs ‘next field defining scholar’ - 1st more important to most outcomes of hum degrees (ie not academia)

“What is the point of a university like Oxford if we don’t speak truth to power” - Vice Chancellor Irene Tracey

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "I'm just trying to get answers to questions and if you can't answer the questions, I can't allow you to do the propaganda bit afterwards"

Israeli spokesman David Mencer, "You're such a sweetheart. Cheer up Krishnan" #C4News

Mencer, "We've got no beef with the people of Gaza, we're trying to get as much aid as we possibly can"

KGM, "Humanitarian organisations are saying its just too dangerous for them to carry on supplying aid because you kill their aid workers"

Mencer, "At some point you've got to take our side over Hamas"

KGM, "We don't take sides, we're journalists asking questions.. What about the other 196 other aid workers that have been murdered by Israeli strikes?"

Mencer, "Every civilian death is a catastrophe.. This operation is to focus on hamas and get our hostages out.. Aid workers from UNWRA actually participated.."

KGM, "I'm not asking about UNRWA, I'm asking about MSF"

Mencer, "I don't have any data on MSF to share with you"

KGM, "What about the British charity, Medical Aid for Palestine?"

Mencer, "I don't have any information but MAP are being investigated in the UK by the charity commission so that's probably not the best example"

KGM, "Did Israel bomb the Iranian consulate in Syria?"

Mencer, "I've got no comment on that"

[joely fitch @joelyfitch]

question for OLDER GENERATIONS ONLY, not a joke, pls rt: at what point did creative writing and literary study become so separated and often even oppositional in their modes of inquiry / disciplinary norms? why is it like this? (1/?)

[grace 💐 @gmhlawrence]

@ericesheng i didn’t realise it was a room students ever went in it’s been off limits for so long

[sal @cowboyverismo]

the oft-tumblr'd brian eno quote about a medium splintering around an emotional expression too massive to be contained by form is actually also a great explanation of why king lear is my favorite shakespeare play

[The Garantine @TGarantine]

Very tired of hearing about what the intentions are. If a system constantly produces a different outcome than the one it is "intended" for then it's perfectly reasonable to assume the actual intention is the outcome it continues to produce.
