"Shouldn't you be analyzing Ulysses? Or creating a great piece of art? If you're so uniquely smart and talented (so much more than those STEMtards XD) then why are you so upset that an app they made solely to rot society's attention span got banned?"

"I'm taking a class on Ulysses by James Joyce and a classmate accused me of being sexist for calling Molly Bloom "sedentary" when she spends an entire chapter lying in bed. Fuck this fucking place."

"I'm talking big ol' metaphors n shit. like moby dick or ulysses, or even gatsby. they are all such romanticized depictions of the modern life at the time. I feel as though we lack that (reccommend me something if I'm wrong)."

"I've been a lot more engaged with my art and reading lit ( read and didn't especially love some Henry Miller and Ulysses) and movies - The Witch, Long Days Journey into Night (no relation to the play) and Spring Summer Fall Winter Spring."

"What people seem to crave is a work of art that's meticulously planned from start to finish and filled with crevasses that they can explore endlessly with their community. Which isn't really compatible with the constraints of big budget TV as it is with literature."
