Dispatch episode 1 & 2 thoughts:
- there’s some fun stuff here!
- I love dispatching
- I hate hacking
- ultimately I think the cheese and sex/dick jokes get in the way for me.

Ep 2 def > ep 1.

Ps. I kept track and there were 10 sex/dick jokes in ep 2 aka one every 4.6 mins. It gets v tired

Fier de mon mari qui commence à me parler en français :p
Mon français est bien meilleur que l’année dernière, mais j’ai encore beaucoup à apprendre.

My Duolingo score for 2025, and my streak lasted the whole year

Even if you don't have kids, as long as you're not totally dead inside, this shit makes your blood boil. Imagine how both the child and the parent must feel.

There's no hope for this country unless the people responsible for all this abuse and torture are punished as a warning to future fascists.

Small moments of fun while grading: when you see the clear mark at which a student stopped trying to make their writing look good because "oh shit, time!"

Very relatable. Deserves an A just for that.

Didn't think my entire education could be summed up in one post yet here we are.
meanwhile a generation of Millennial scholars came in looking for a sense of disciplinary coherence and were told we don’t do that anymore. And it was worse for even younger students, who had read *nothing* and were being asked to define “interpellation” without being taught the mirror stage

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time
Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!

And her acceptance speech about queer joy was a love letter to @aliona.bsky.social 🥹🌈
