@milky it’s a shame that the lactation room issue got shoehorned into this quickspec in the penumbra of datovsky. i think it’s pretty awesome and hilarious and would have liked to see peoples’ thoughts on it.
@Sprinkles “Manhattanville” is not archaic. Go to the post office on 125th Street – it’s right there above the door. I love it when people make claims about areas they’ve probably never even visited.
@ride the BX15… to Manhattanville
@it's sad to see some one get picked on – but man – miriam has it coming. I guess it sucks to have to put something out every week or whatever, but damn, why would you print something like that. I think the spec editors really are taking bets (#7).
I’ve never tried to write about sex, straight or otherwise, and it is prolly hard…but you’d think Spec could find someone capable.
@well did you see her attempt at a ‘seductive’ photo for the DailyNews’s muck piece on college sex that Miriam schilled for?
@wow isn’t the hate-on miriam game getting a little bit old….
@nope never get’s old.
and queer sex=icky
@sexplorations i think what happened is that miriam wanted to write a queer sex column but not actually talk about queer sex. & that is the result: vague platitudes & stereotypes; endless talk about her own straightness; interviews with a couple token campus queers; voila!
@non GSer Chad Miller does rock! And he’s so cute too…
@GSer2 Men being afraid of rats….Did miriam steal that topic from Neuro Shure-O’s column last week?
@GSer Yay GS! Chad Miller rocks. That was the first column by a GS student that didn’t make me ashamed on behalf of my school.
@Yay! Finally a column that describes GS student government!
What could possibly be more interesting than… Chad Miller?
And it’s not like we don’t already get spammed by SGA every f-ing day.
@Ummm Is [the GS] column implying that those who do not assimilate into student government activities are the Borg?
Or perhaps that the on-staff GS columnist is not representative of GS because he does not seem to attend many [shitty, sparsely attended] GS events, whereas a shill for the New GS Order is?
@Oar Or that students who don’t enjoy farting around with a bunch of SGA tools aren’t overachievers… I mean isn’t pennant-waving, over-weight, coke-bottle glasses-wearing tool precisely the sort of stereotype we GSers want to avoid?
@I think Spec editors are secretly placing bets on who can write worse columns, Miriam or GS Students. Barnard vs. GS: Whoever wins, Columbia Loses.
@rjt Does anyone have a few bucks to drop on a copy of the Kinsey Reports as a present for Miriam?
@Chas Carey few bucks? I’ll snag a copy and throw down for a six pack of beer and a VHS tape of “Free To Be You And Me.”
@Elna I hate Mirian D’s column. Nonsensical today. As always, maybe. But WORSE then usual. Didn’t she write something like this last year?
@hmmm “While I, for one, have always known that I am straight,”
“To me, as a straight woman,”
“I am explicitly, absolutely, without a doubt, a straight woman.”
wait… so is miriam trying to tell us she’s queer?
@a;slkdgja;slihagw what the hell?! it’s like she forewent any attempt at a clear, nonrepetitive writing style because for some reason she needed us to REALLY get that she is NOT ONE BIT GAY. horrible.
@Elna Good QuickSpec today. Keep it up!
@Mantastic Miriam’s columns make me want to explode. I feel like a middle schooler could write better columns.
