my new favorite thing to do at dinner parties is when someone turns to me and asks "so what are you a professor of," i smile real wide and say GUESS because 1) i'm an asshole and 2) they know that i know that they were going to say "gender studies" but now they're definitely not going to say that at all
@oddletters lollll this is terrific
@jaykaydee thank you for encouraging my bad behavior ☺️
@oddletters I think it's high time that "absent-minded" got replaced with "chaotic" in terms of professorial archetypes
@oddletters I cackled.
@oddletters it seems like somewhere there must be a media studies academic whose specialty is representations of gender in popular media, and they must be constantly depressed
