I'm a lesbian and when men want to talk to another woman instead of me I get jealous

[Samantha Ruddy @samlymatters]

I’m a butch lesbian. My wife is a femme lesbian. Men always try to talk to her and it makes me so jealous. Talk to ME. She’s not even enjoying you, bro. She’s so bored by you. I love Jackass and Quentin Tarantino movies. Stop bothering her and let’s go to Buffalo Wild Wings.

Caitlin Flanagan can only ever report that she taught at a prep school in the 90s

[Caitlin Flanagan @CaitlinPacific]

I can only report that I taught at a prep school in the 90’s that had a large Jewish enrollment. A significant # of those kids went to Ivy League colleges - very much including Harvard - because a significant # of them were very, very strong students.

If I didn’t have a full time job, I would have already written essays about:

- The influence of Cartarescu in Latin America
- Lighthearted digressions as a way of life / Young-Moon Jung
- To have guts / Monica Ojeda
- But how this surrealism?? / Yoko Tawada

@no_earthquake part of the problem is the government doesn’t do much for the middle class compared to europe, which then makes the middle class vindictive against the state in a way the european middle class isn’t

what is a modern american supposed to write novels about? mcdonald's, social media, gas stations, driving to work, puerile relationship drama about two people who never loved each other?

@AloysiusFlytes this is surely a chicken and egg problem

@AloysiusFlytes in your defense books brought on a trip have a largely talismanic rather than functional role
