If you want evidence of how ridiculous the housing market is:
We bought this house in Kansas City, KS for $137,000 in 2018 and sold it for $172,000 in 2020. It sold again in 2023 for $259,000
As far as I can there are no major upgrades beyond what we did (new floors, roof, hvac, foundation work)

Decided to try to move my car in anticipation of having to go to campus tomorrow and teach.
Guess what happened?
My drivers side door handle fell off and both doors are frozen shut.

Dumb question: I had an article rejected by a journal and I strongly disagree with one of the anonymous reviewer's comments. I am very nervous that if I send the essay somewhere else, they will also approach this person to review it since it's a pretty niche topic. How should I approach this?

Sometimes when I post pictures of my pets and they don’t get a lot of attention I think to myself: “Ingrates! don’t they understand how lucky they are to get to look at these animals?”

I hate the Nazgûl’s treatment of the hobbits as much as you do but the security of Middle Earth is critical in this age. I believe we can strike a balance between the rights of Shire residents and black land border enforcement with proper training and funding.

Trying not to spiral over Reviewer 2s comments. Feeling pretty demoralized and doubting my abilities.

I was doing conference things so I couldn’t go but my partner made the pilgrimage to see our friend Coleman’s memorial by the Congress Theater in Chicago. He meant a lot to a lot of people
