Saw Hamnet and cried so much my glasses fogged up. This is not a complaint.

Cool. Coolcoolcoolcool. 😐

Grades submitted! Might be time to slay demons and dragons and all things evil.

I have been grading papers all day. Is it time to reward myself with hot hockey players looking longingly at each other (among other things)? Yes. Yes it is.

I will not, in fact, be "saving the date."

www.midnightmission.org/toy-drive/ If you're looking for a way to give back, consider the Midnight Mission's toy drive. I picked an art kit, a gigantic stuffed unicorn, and sports gear. 🌲🎁

Oh fun! This entire bus smells of urine. 😐

Led Zeppelin my most listened to artist this year and I'm very good with that. 🎸🤘🏻

Tomorrow is my last day of teaching this quarter, and even though I have enjoyed my students quite a bit--they are a seriously good bunch--I just need the quarter to be over. Please.

Update: the quirkiest, most enjoyable quiz I've taken in forever.

You had me at Bookmatch quiz!

Update: I'm a Josh O'Connor fan for life.

There is a grade-A mean girl on Survivor and I loathe her. Not in a love to hate way, just hate. She's the worst high school mean girl you ever knew and I may have to quit this show.

Alright new Knives Out movie, you better make me laugh.

I hate that guy. (Pick a guy, almost any guy.)

I saw it in the theater and it was brilliant. Beautiful, heartbreaking, clear-eyed.

Sometimes when you get labeled a mean girl it's because you are one. (This is a Survivor post.)

Happy Long List day to all who celebrate! cc: @tournamentofbooks.com

Begging people to stop bathing in perfume, cologne, lotion, whatever before getting on the bus. #PSA

www.tournamentofbooks.com/the-year-in-... Alert! Alert! The ToB long list just came out and there's the rest of my reading year sorted. Join us! In March 2026, it will be the funnest place on the interwebs

It's wild* that a sitting president telling a reporter "quiet piggy" is not a national scandal. *completely normal in our current times

Commenting on papers and a student used the phrase "the late 1900s," and while he's not wrong, it still gutted me.

This is repugnant. She should be publicly shamed for the rest of her miserable days.

All the horrible men are horrible, it turns out.

P R E A C H This should be the lead story of every news outlet. It's all about the grift.

Is there anyone better at playing a small, slimy, inept man with an over-inflated ego than James Callis? Perfection. (This is a Slow Horses, Battlestar Galactica appreciation post.)

Yes, I want to scream into the void daily, due in large part to the NY Times' weak, subservient coverage of a clearly fascist president and administration. Thanks for that.

Stop infantilizing SNAP recipients you moron.

Your "own feelings" should lead you to call for Schumer to step aside. Seriously.

JFC. Democrat leaders are a buncha fuckin' numbskulls. No way around it.

Saw Train Dreams tonight. A small, quiet film that packs a wallop.

Sigh. Maybe baseball shouldn't be in bed with sports betting. Hmmmm...deep thoughts. 🤔

Helped a tourist navigate LA's confusing public transit system today. My work here is done.

One of my students called me the GOAT today and I was all 😭

Proud to be one vote in this!

Now is the time to give what you can to your local food bank. givebutter.com/donatehofoco

Amazing stuff!

🎶 We love it! 🎶 #Dodgers

Unbelievable. UN. BELIEVABLE. B A S E B A L L

Baseball. Holy crap. 😮

Update: the kittens have wisely fallen asleep. Yet I remain...💀

My foster kittens are watching the world series, which means I'm raising them right.

I just need to share my white hot hatred of leaf blowers. That is all.

But let's build a ballroom! 🎉

OMG saw it in a theater and could barely breathe. At the end there was a collective HOLE-EE SHIT from the audience. Just...whew.

Sent my ballot in today. Yes on Prop 50. One tiny act of resistance!

Well I can't get up now. Kitten rules.

I wish I could remember who recommended Somebody Somewhere to me because I owe them immense, unending gratitude. I ♥️ this show so so much.

Omg A House Full of Dynamite fucked me up but good. (Complementary)

Maybe I'm dumb, but I'm struggling to figure out how a $250 million ballroom makes America great.
