Between The Thighs
Speaking, as we were, of Clown Quarter academics and their relentless intellectual thrusting, I bring you this:
“Digital media practices” sounds so much more scholarly than, say, tarts who use OnlyFans. Oh, and Instagram. Naturally, this is being done “through an intersectional feminist framework.” One that “centres lived experience.” So lofty stuff, and rigorous to boot.
The researcher behind this colossal undertaking informs us,
Quiet at the back. Don’t make me flick the lights on and off.
As I said, all terribly high-minded. Political, even.
Should any doubt remain,
And as we’ve seen, many times, the Clown Quarter is driven purely by academic enquiry, a ceaseless thirst for knowledge.
Update:
In the comments, Twin Cities Teegan asks, not unreasonably,
Alas, such details, should they exist, are now hidden from view. We are, however, assured,
At risk of being presumptuous, it occurs to me that this theme of minimised intellectual labour may apply more generally. A suspicion not shaken by our scholar’s claims of “challenging patriarchal systems” by sharing nude photos on Instagram. Or by her public ruminations on such topics as “The Gendered Politics of Body Hair,” a feat of rote regurgitation and colossal self-involvement, in which we learn of the crushing oppressions of leg-waxing and eyebrow maintenance.
Readers who wish to probe further into the bush can find our scholar’s inexpert twerking here.
All the great scholars had experience of online sex work.
In days past, a woman prostituting herself online would have lost her job… now, according to feminists, such behaviour is empowering, rather than just another way of gaining narcissitic supply.
OnlyFans as research.
We really are sunk as a society, aren’t we?
As we’ve seen, many times, we are, I fear, setting the bar quite low.
or their managers.

Happy Fake Fourth of July to you hosers, eh!
(We now return you to your regular programming)
If smaller the talent, the bigger the bullshit.
LOL
Praying to SMOD to gift each corrupt university with a refrigerator-sized bolide of doom.
This mockery of Canada must stop or there will be consequences.
Considering how highly academia rewards convoluted, obfuscatory, rococo jargon, the amount of talent to be found there must approach homeopathic levels.
Northwich woman jailed for cocaine-fuelled sex with a dog.
The definition of woman has of course been fashionably expanded. And the mention of “indecent images of children” has, at this point, a certain inevitability.
This mockery of Canada…
It is Canada Day, take off, eh?
Indeed, as “research” and “investigating” sound more scholarly than “spending all day at the nudie bar” and “…has some experience of online sex work… ” sound better than “spending all day online ogling tarts who use OnlyFans”.
The rest of the project being “The Patriarchal Colonizing of the Bodies of Tarts Who Use OnlyFans leads to Income Inequity” the abstract is “Why do tarts who use OnlyFans make more than I do?”
OnlyFans Tarts are a Sex Pistols cover band.
The definition of woman has of course been fashionably expanded.
You cannot imagine my shock.
Two years to analyze a laptop?
You’re not supposed to notice.
If future historians look back to our time and scratch their heads for a dominant theme, pretending not to notice obvious patterns seems a pretty good starting point.
Meanwhile in Louisiana…
As one does. In a Walmart brawl can’t fight with just one arm, and who knows where a six month old might wander off to if you just put it on the ground.
Back to academia and the upcoming holiday, we find ourselves at Harvard (because of course we do)…
No, I am not making that up.
OTOH, my research has shown that using days where the sun rises in the east as a proxy has a near perfect correlation with “academics” producing utter bollocks.
or their managers.
That clearly raises the specter of male oppression and manipulation in what should be “women’s space” alone.
This demands further academic study. Fire up the grant machine!
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy:
Academia has left satire in the dust.
Third album name.
misquoting Hitchhiker:
All whinge, no data.
Academia is like The Hitchhiker’s Nutri-Matic drinks dispenser: It produces something that is almost, but not quite entirely, unlike thought.
I still remember hearing The Hitchhiker’s Guide on the radio, it’s best format, back when I was a wee seedling. The first scene I recall is the one in which Lintilla activates her Crisis Inducer.
isn’t this the same lot that carries on about ‘objectifying’ women?
Album name. I’m imagining something in a King Crimson genre.
See ‘doublethink’ in Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, which was supposed to be a warning not a how-to manual.
[ Screws upright pole into floor, badly, fetches bag of glitter. ]
Just in case anyone feels an urge to fling their legs about.
isn’t this the same lot that carries on about ‘objectifying’ women?
This is yet another area where we should hold two totally contradictory thoughts: there is no shame in sex work–it is empowering….AND…sex work is exploitation by the patriarchy.
Insta-lache.
Sex work is just as noble as any work.
All workers deserve at least a living wage.
Men who pay women for sex acts are patriarchal oppressors.
I think…the only way to reconcile these principles is for sex workers to be supported entirely by government, i.e. Taxes. The same way some believe home-schooling should be illegal.
I look forward to the Onion / Babylon Bee headline.
Which will be rapidly followed, if not actually preceeded, by a similar headline in Not The Bee or the WaPo.
Memory jogged…
What became of that minor dustup in Germany when an unemployed woman was urged by a government functionary to take a sex-work job?
The welfare agency bureaucrats contended that, since prostitution was legal, the woman could not refuse to work in a brothel without losing public assistance. Public outcry forced the welfare agency to back off, but none of the bureaucrats were publicly flogged or stoned, sadly.
You looking for ways to keep members of the teacher’s unions employed?
@pst314
“Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike thought” is quite brilliant. I’m going to remember that one.
[ blushes ]
But you mustn’t badmouth teachers, sir. Even teachers who encourage middle-school children to browse their “highly sexualised” TikTok accounts.
As this chap did.
An academic from another Canadian university was submitting a grant proposal to study “Traditional Catholicism and Christian Nationalism”. Unsure of its likelihood for acceptance, the title was changed to “Traditional Catholicism, Christian Nationalism, and White Supremacy”. And soon the money was on its way.
And in parallel reality news.
Slapping comes to mind.
We could take turns.
Much current academic publishing will be ignored in the future, for the same reason that Nazi era scholarly work is now ignored: There may be some honest and useful research but it is lost in the dross.
And in parallel reality news.
from the twitter profile:
Remember the South Park episode in which “gay” means “stupid and annoying”?
Frothing at the mouth.
Of course, we only have his word that he is a psychologist. But on the other hand the field is full of maleducated and malevolent lunatics and fools.
This meme should really be altered to “turn him trans”.
Via that twitter account:
“Much of the instability stems from a small group of tenants who do not receive the support they need.”
Is “support” a euphemism for “prison”?
Kicking.
It’s a euphemism for kicking.
Or should be.
Military might.
Fine with me.
But also “violent ward”, for those who don’t learn from a kicking.
The Politburo is laughing.
Raise the Canuck flag!
