Why Spicy Is Not A Taste

I wonder if there's ever been a notable unarmed political assassination? Like, some dude goes in for a handshake at a campaign event, and decides to just powerbomb the fucker into the pavement instead and breaks their neck? It feels like the sort of thing that would have happened at least once in history, but a cursory attempt to research the topic just turns up a bunch of anecdotes about Assassin's Creed.

So fucking cool i had to repost

In my first year university course there was a class I remember as being mandatory (at least for English majors) about fallacies and biases in writing. And this prof was all about reading the whole article before you formed your argument. That was his whole thing. You know measure twice cut once he was read twice respond once. He stressed this so much that on our final exam (which was two long form essay questions and a few short answer questions) that I decided to read the WHOLE exam booklet before I grabbed my pen.

Turns out that is what he wanted. The final page, the final question, informed the student that if they wrote 1. Their name, 2. Their student number 3. Their favourite fallacy, and wait for 30 minutes so they don't arouse suspicion, you will literally be given 100 percent for the exam WORTH 40 PERCENT OF YOUR GRADE.

I think about it to this day. The prof literally saw the "reading comprehension on this site is piss poor" and said I can fix them

Everyone has been real quiet since Imane Khelif started a legal process against Rowling (and Musk). Say what you want about the situation but what Rowling did (spread misinformation, using Khelif's image as a boogeyman) was actually wrong. And it sadly continues what we've seen a lot in gender critical spaces: its deterioration into a reactionary movement.

yes im sick of stopping myself from experiencing beautiful things because im afraid to go out alone or buy stuff myself this has to come to an end.

i gotta remember this

Reminds me of my Pride And Prejudice book with an unpleasant-looking cover which obviously.. made me avoid that book. It's been sitting on my shelf for nearly two years now.

I am haunted by all the editions of books that are prettier than the ones I already own.

"because of woke" is the funniest reason for anything. cant kill politicians anymore, because of woke. cant find a parking spot, because of woke. cant nap all day, because of woke.

bought my first makeup with my own money hihihi i feel so good! bought a concealer and a lipstick.. need mascara and maybe blush but dont need much.. just for everyday use. I just use my face card <33 (please get it that im half joking)

In light of Imane Khelif's lawsuit against jk Rowling, and in the same vein as Tim waltz' "weird" I think we honestly should just call joanne a bully literally any time she starts Terfposting. Like a cat with a spray bottle

HONESTLY i nearly never read poetry except for arabic poetry of the Jahiliya and Abbassid periods (it's amazing) because i found that english poetry is plain compared to it (i read some of Emily Dickinson's poetry) and even french poetry seemed better imo

My hot take is that i dont give a fuck about your poem about pomegranates and cannibalism as a metaphor for love
