Still making my way through The Sopranos and deeply enjoying it. The further I get through it the more it's awakening a latent desire to dress like a mob wife. The beehives, leopard print, dark lipstick, long coats, and gaudy jewelry are so fantastic.

For the record, I don't think people need to go to college to be considered smart. But she should've 😂 and I don't fully agree with honorary doctorates either

But what's really something is there are lots of people who didn't go to college and are smarter than her I bet

Despite her honorary doctorate, she never did any school past high school. And despite me not knowing that specifically, I probably could've guessed 😂

Sure, there's classes to teach and classes to catch up on and grading to do, but there's ALSO all you can eat lunch!

pay/tip your SWers

you enjoy their media?
you pay them
you want them to engage with you?
you pay them
you had a little extra at payday?
you tip them

there are so many people with tip goals not being met - if you can support them, tip your SWers

I had to fly to Iowa in late September, but I think I can take a train to Philly next month. Would be more green that way and cheaper too 🤔
