I did. My group chat was speculating on why the OMB memo might be rescinded but not the freeze itself, and “lacks poetic form” was discussed. With the prompt below, I farted this out because I am too drained to have a limerick in me. Maybe I’ll get on that tomorrow.

Upon tidying up, I discovered the 7yo spent all afternoon drawing snowflakes with this pencil, an ancient gag gift from a friend that mysteriously resurfaced just in time for kiddo to be literate. 🤦🏻♀️

I’ve been telling the ol’ group chat (of nerdy 40 year olds) about the delight that is @BrentSpiner’s new novel, so this was perhaps inevitable. Damn why did *I* not get this dream?

“Where is my sea shanty about the TikTok #School Violence Challenge??”
…asked my FB community of Moms, furious at recess being canceled and kids being frightened.
Be the change you wish to see in the world, I said. And lo, @ailicoyote provided. #Wellerman 1/2

Here's video of the mites! @AmazonHelp it would be super cool if you would just reimburse us instead of asking us to pack up the infested wood and ship it back to you (why do you even want this back?)

Oh and full academic regalia for Neuroscience & Education, a la @drosophilosophy of course. @ally_mackey you should consider this for when you teach it again in 2021.

Every single recorded lecture had a theme. Star Trek = Cognitive Control & PFC and Sherlock Holmes = Decision Making were some of my favorites. (No Holmesian pipe but a whiskey+soda in his honor) 🍸#RemoteLearning #AcademicChatter

Here’s the first 37s of my 1hr Memory lecture for my Cog Neuro course. Husband (who does great face paint) said, “You’re that cat gif, the one that doesn’t give a fuck and pushes all the items off all the shelves”. 🐈 😹😿

I figured that Day 1 of class was too soon to pull out a “Researchers used to think Glia Ain’t Shit” comment, and then I realized that the students are younger than the Dr Dre song in question so it’s for the best really.

It is a crumb of comfort to find citations by someone you know, here in Grading Jail. Yay @JamieLarsH !! Cool new research that my student writing on SES & the brain really liked.

Look ok so the exact candles that @Nicole_Cliffe told me to buy were 30% off and so I bought one and I regret nothing. As usual, she was correct. #treatyoself 🌲

Topical, feminist, and pun-tastic - I’m loving how my “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex” costume turned out. My students did too; today’s lecture was even neuropolitics!! 💃🏻 🧠

At the wedding, a friend complimented the gift bag and pondered “Hmm what did R get us for our wedding” and I yelled A CRYSTAL FRUIT BOWL FROM TIFFANYS, ASK ME HOW I KNOW. I guess everyone else moved on with their lives, except me, those losers.

And that is how trashy little ol’ me was in Tiffany’s drinking tea and asking them to wrap their finest engraved crystal fruit bowl before walking 10 blocks to the wedding. I refrained from screaming EAT THE RICH, BURN THIS DOWN as I dashed down 5th Avenue, where is my trophy?
