Last year over the holidays, I got so bored that I started writing and editing Wikipedia pages for Colorado Rockies players.
Early indications are the trend may continue this holiday season.
(Also, if you follow a team closely, it’s great to contribute to the pages of not-so-well-known players.)

Gotta say: a lot more interested in the foods you like, the albums you love to listen to, the movies you rewatch. Maybe that makes me a Pollyanna or someone not motivated to recreate the Rage Bait Industrial Complex again so the worst folks get elevated once again.

This is consistent with my experience this semester.
I’ve always done scaffolding, but this year, I really leaned into the essay as a form, and it mostly worked.
Is there work to be done? Yes. But I am encouraged rather than despairing.
