I’ve got 18 year old students who were PISSED that they couldn’t in good conscience go see the movie because he is in it. They know; their parents know. So weird that Disney didn’t think people would know.

Christian men on college campuses are absolutely the worst. Please just make a lounge where these douchebags canning around with the libertarians and evangelical atheists and leave the rest of us alone.

Are there industry definitions of cafè, bistro, diner?

I know what I think of when I hear each, but I’m curious if restaurant people have knowledge they could pass down.

It sure did. And here he is again, helping out in the poem office. (I did make an appointment with student health in the morning— my awful case of bronchitis back in the summer had me paranoid of letting anything go.)

Morning. Sleep helped, but today is for tea and rest. If you are still subscribed to Prime, I highly recommend I LIKE ME, the John Candy documentary. I’ve been crying since the start.

also got in bed without removing my makeup but I’ve already got the heating pad and the heated mattress pad on, and the cat and I are both comfy. So it stays.

So I’ve called out of work and class for tomorrow so no one gets sicker from me and so I can rest.

Also everybody’s coughing and sneezing and stuff and not masking. And I started coughing and sneezing a bit — feels like a little cold — in my last class of the night.

Got home from class and started feeling increasingly crappy. Perhaps a flare up because ACCESSIBLE PARKING WAS BLOCKED AT SCHOOL TODAY by trucks tearing down an event on the quad from the weekend. I had to park far away and walk five times the distance to classes today.

What if corporations talked about other things we don't want the same way they talk about AI?

And I’m teaching freshmen who are mostly 20 and under and had this distorted feeling of time built into their childhoods.

featuring bonus orange cat and bonus floor dirt (truly too tired to get up and take distant photos). I like that there’s a safety for fingers on the pull-up!

I feel this on the student side and the instructional side. Just exhausted. Our “fall break” was last Thursday and Friday and now we’re into papers-due-midterm-exams time.

The amount of joy my 23 year old daughter is expressing over Dan & Phil’s announcement of Dan is nearly overwhelming. She is over the moon and then some.

@lionsroar.bsky.social My partner was able to get the lift-top coffee table assembled this weekend and I am *so* glad I held out for it! It’s fantastic!
