Today I’m thinking about the english prof who I asked for a letter of rec for an on-campus job. I was a star student. He even read my papers aloud to the class.
His reply: “What would I write other than you were a good student and received an ‘A’ in my class?”
No punchline. He was just a dick.

was traveling for work and asked to crash on a friend's couch. i wasn't feeling well so she insisted on drawing me a bath.
upon getting in and noticing an oddly familiar scent, I then spied a bottle of lemon dish soap on the counter and realized i was the human equivalent of a soaking lasagna pan.

was messaging about logistics for an event with an artist I know and he just lets me know it’s his birthday just flat out and it made me so happy. wish everyone would just say so like this rather than be coy or whatever

the reason it seems like arguing for position is the thing to do… is because we don’t see or hear the people who choose to simply disengage

Today, my daughter said “I hate you”
I heard on a parenting vid that what they really mean is “I need a hug” (and the like)
So, I asked if she needed a hug. She said yes. I hugged her and explained that she can just ask next time.
Later on she walks up to me and goes: “I hate you I want a hug”

[on the essay i have started and stopped seventeen times today]
it’s not that I have no creative juice left it’s that I don’t want to write something that isn’t good
irony being that it can’t get good if I don’t work on it

This happened again. So glad it wasn’t just a passing phase, and she can whip this out whenever she likes.
