The irony of my wifi going down while uploading my syllabus and having a “wifi and tech malfunctions are not a valid reason to request an assignment extension” clause is not lost on me right now.

Absolutely loving that I reported a comment on Instagram saying that the user wanted to round up leftists and drive them into the nearest lake and Instagram said it doesn’t go against their terms of service 💕

Imagine being born in slavery and living up until 5 months before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Anna Julia Cooper is one of my favorite people in history. She was born on August 10, 1858, and lived to the age of 105. I can't sum her up in a single post, but she was born 167yrs ago today

Which means that the average response will be “that’s beyond the scope of my current study”

"this product is good because it's like having a pocket full of PhDs" just suggests to me you've never actually been in a room with a bunch of experts on a topic. You think you're going to come away with a quick, simple, easy-to-digest summary of their expertise? Think again.

Grocery Price Update-- it's been a while since I've posted these, but I've still been keeping track. I can't figure out what the heck Google Sheets is doing to my bread graph, so I may have to move my tracking over to Excel.

The Indiana Fever is just about the only thing that makes me proud to be a Hoosier right now

Harvard, aka Resistance U, is taking advantage of the Trumpist NLRB to crush its grad student union by stripping it of 800 members. Sounds about right. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Me when yoga gets rough and I need to hit the child’s pose

Grocery price updates-- mostly steady from previous weeks (my bread graph is acting funky but there's no change from last week so I'm not going to worry about trying to fix it right now)

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

My public speaking students' final speech makes them advocate for a charity and I have to say, this is my favorite speech assignment. I love hearing what issues they think are important and seeing them make connections with people doing the work. It's something that's giving me hope rn.

Grocery price tracking 4/8/25-- I forgot to post the last few weeks because there haven't been many significant changes. I have been tracking every Tuesday, though!

Stolen autistic valor is such a good phrase

It’s been a looooong time since I’ve binge-watched a TV show and The Pitt is hitting the spot. Plan is to start watching ER when I run out of episodes

Is there some kind of law that 50% of all DMVs have to be in the same strip mall as a Chuck E Cheese?

It’s #caturday !

Happy #caturday !

I opened my night guard case and put my AirPods in it if you’re wondering how I’m doing right now
