Higher Ed. Knitting, quilting, embroidery, gardening. Cats and dogs. Left of Dem. Crohn’s and parenting. So, so tired.

This is Duncan. He's used to being the biggest dog at the vet. But apparently not today. 14/10 for both (TT: animalimaging)

A happy cat, on his back on a couch, the sun shining on his face.

It’s very of its time, but my kid had fun until the very end!

That’s very AI.

So true.

Too sad. She didn’t care that Z. Binx was reunited with his sister; a cat died, and she sobbed. 🫠

6:45 am: gentle lowing from the cows in the valley below.

We are currently camping in SW WI. We’ve seen deer (and spooked them in the dark), heard coyotes yipping and a great gray owl calling across the valley.

Way #3948473 I’ve embarrassed my husband: by singing him the entirety of the Colgate Tooth Powder jingle, loudly, in the co-op aisle.

Charlie, Sam, and Effie are also there.

The recent push to dumb everything about gen eds down here at the u is infuriating but it also feels like railing at the waves. There’s no point in protesting.

A yearly milestone: shouting at people to move back on the bus. Yes, up the stairs. Yes, you. Move. Back.

palewisconsinite.bsky.social @palewisconsinite.bsky.social · 18d

I had a dream last night predicting some dialogue happening today (this happens sometimes). Boringly, it’s a conversation about gen ed requirements in a faculty meeting.

She’s MAGA.

I said what I said.

No counter argument here, it’s fucking vibes.
