it's so fun being in Europe because you can like causally mention being offered shrooms or weed or whatever in Cali and all the euros will turn and look at you like you're some kind of space alien

I mean you know fair I would also be uncomfortable if my husband was working with his ex but she specifically loses it over the idea that they ever slept together

they put Ally McBeal on disney plus and I'd never seen it before and in the pilot episode the wife of the main character's ex-boyfriend is horrified to find out they slept together, like she thought her husband was a virgin or something. this is from the 90s like surely things were not so different?

This one time I hooked up with a girl and I was kinda high and she was like β€œhave you ever πŸ₯Ίβ€ and I literally forgot men were an option so I thought she meant sex and I was like …..

I hate that it’s as hard to date non academics as it is

at the convention: "the thing about lesbians is that we're basically men." [boos] "okay cancel me. fight me over it. let's slap each other around. let's wrestle. I'm thinking about it"

it's so funny to watch people debate actor's sexualities because if I'm being real I just kind of assume anyone who's gone through theatre school has had at least one gay experience

You know it's crazy those gay hockey players got together because if I found out a friend was in an eight year situationship with someone who regularly ghosted for months on end and openly discussed having sex with other people I would straight up commit murder

I have no idea how to deal with people asking about my job. do any mathematicians have advice.

- tell the truth and start explaining: they zone out and hate me
- try to simplify: they feel like I'm being condescending and also I'm bad at this
- lie? ok but if we get closer they feel betrayed

It seems to be unclear if this claim is even true but like. Even if it were I think it has very little bearing as to whether Platner is an antisemite

fun fact the guy who coined the term "antisemite" married multiple Jewish women

The way straight women crash out over β€œyou’re nothing more than his wife” is so gd funny

love to be editing and find an unfinished "Recall that" hanging at the end of a paragraph. no words following it. just recall that [emptiness]

listen I don't want to make light of bad this is. however. it is a bit funny that they've now moved on to femboy erasure after screaming about butches being erased by transmascs for years. maybe enough lesbians finally told them to fuck off

adjacent: I think I should get complete control over when and how Marco Rubio has non-procreative sex/orgasms. that's what for the people by the people means to me
