A dream is not a temporal unfolding. Technicians of the dream psyche know that a dream is instantaneous. It has no duration; at most, it is an extremely brief instant in which space is developed.

Art Deco backgrounds from the early Tom & Jerry cartoons (1940s).
It's not just the vibes, the shots are so beautifully blocked that they work without any character in it.

The men with the strongest opinions about women and PhDs have had zero contact with either

@ThePhDPlace Most PhD’s teach undergrads concurrently. I taught somewhere in the range of 100-150 students during my candidature and it was one of the most rewarding aspects of it all. I don’t see this at all as wasted time.

Mommy, what’s the faculty of intuition? Is the imagination a part of sensibility or the understanding? What’s the difference between Object and Gegenstand? Where did he get the table of judgments from?

@dieworkwear @imROBSdotLTD I feel like FZOTIC would be a great one for you to try!

Guy last night told me “Oh Hegel is the thesis, antithesis, synthesis guy” and I said “no, that’s a common misconception.” Twenty minutes later he showed me his AI Google result that said this. So I killed myself. 🫰🏻

Fortunately, the academic job market has prepared me for crushing disappointment

@no_good_wyfe The shitty part is that if you love teaching, and are good at it, this will never be rewarded as much as being good at research.

@dieworkwear Equally, much of this perfume as art discourse forgets one crucial thing - the sensation of pleasure as a valid measure.

[Liam Sardea @liamsardea]

@dieworkwear Perfume is seen excessively (and exclusively) as a consumer object, and not an object of art. It shares this challenge with fashion. Part of the project that perfume writers have - which hopefully trickles down to consumers (the prevalence of niche is an example) - is this shift
