I want to chime in here to explain why something like "Chemistry BA" probably appears on this list and why it's a bad and stupid thing to cut. Only guessing at the Syracuse-specific details but I know the big picture. Thread: 🧵

Playing d&d with me is a delight, tonight's session featured references to both Commedia del'Arte and David Hasselhoff's cameo in the SpongeBob movie

"Way back in 2012, the internet wasn’t yet the angry, shrieking wasteland it has become. A simple story about a no-nonsense lady in North Dakota could break through the noise." www.wsj.com/us-news/mari...

Having complicated feelings about cinema on a Saturday My ★★★★★ review of I Am the Law on Letterboxd boxd.it/b7UgJ5

I had no idea that the (wicked) doctrine of qualified immunity had its roots in SCOTUS’s rejection of claims against police filed in response to the arrest of fifteen Episcopal priests who desegregated a bus station in Jackson in 1966.

I don’t like watching videos to learn things. I would like the Written Tutorial Internet back, please and thank you

All these white dudes swearing it’s safe to sign up for protests are SO CLOSE to knowing their safety in being public lets them tank in solidarity with people for whom it’s not safe….and yet so very, very, very far.

TGIF, today is finally the day.

I'm adding this review to my list of favorite reviews, which is currently just the "who allowed this to happen?" Don Giovanni review (www.archivebuttons.com/articles?art...)

I was wrong, it was 1903! I'm going to a shorts program today that might unseat my shortest watched too, but we'll see #LetterboxdFriday

Hot "girl" vaccine selfie, MMR not pictured because it's gotta go in a weird part of your arm.

Woke up to an android update this morning that changed the fonts, colors, and layouts of just about everything on my phone and 1) I thought I woke up in a parallel universe but also 2) I'm discovering new ways things got reconfigured every minute and it's disorienting even now that I'm fully awake.

I'm so happy with how this inventory turned out. Just honestly so much fun to assign equipment thematically and level appropriate D&D Spell names.

I'm getting my COVID, Flu, and MMR shots all on Thursday.

Decided to run this on my letterboxd too. lol. lmao even.

I got stuck behind a BMW today with a license plate reading YAOI, but specifically a hunting and fishing conversation fund plate and I.... I know exactly three things about that driver and I would be **FASCINATED** to know more

Pandora's Box has been unseated as my oldest movie watched! Until tomorrow that is, I think I have tickets to something from the 1910s tomorrow as Denver Silent Film continues...

Posting slightly more than my actual #LastFourWatched because I've had such an interesting week in movies but my last four weren't really representative. Also guess who upgraded to patron haha. boxd.it/xUjP #LetterboxdFriday #filmsky

I'm nothing if not dedicated to the rules of games I made up for myself. I thought I'd shuffle my letterboxd watchlist tonight and see what I get. It's been pretty kind to me this week! The rule is I have to watch the first thing that comes up on shuffle that I have access to. Tonight? Hereditary...

Someone on here (maybe @rahaeli.bsky.social?) at some point recommended tying your tetanus booster to a memorable day do that so you remember when you need to get it again. I... Didn't do that in the past, but I have now! New jab-iversary? 9/11/25. I'll never forget...

Maybe... Maybe I should watch Peacemaker...

I cannot believe we have Hummers and Cybertrucks and not this.

Listening to the first ep of Star Trek Khan and I'm LIVING for it. This is so good! Maybe I'm an audio drama guy now? I love the actor voicing Khan, he sounds great! Same with Marla's voice actor, so well cast! It's setting up the post-Space Seed era beautifully so far and I am Locked In.

So, here's my problem. I'm labeling the Digital Humanities Center's equipment so we know it's ours when we lend it out. I'd like to give them unique identifiers. Numbers? Boring. Fandom names? OIT *already* uses Star Trek names and I don't know what else I love as much. I'm at a loss!

Me at ~9:00pm: looks like if I export my letterboxd data I can easily bulk add new tags! That'll be good to do. Me at 1:04am, eye twitching: after three tries at the csv file and then giving up to do it manually I have unfucked my diary when all of my watch dates went to the fucking 1920s... 🙃

I feel like I'm hitting an era of "all my shit is wearing out." Gym shoes? Soles coming off/disintegrating. Couch and desk chair? making some bad sounds and not comfy anymore. Dishwasher and oven? Not really doing their thing anymore. Not a fan!

Something I should probably start journaling about or something is when a new class prep feels easy vs when it feels like pulling teeth to get words on a slide. Because I'm working on a prep that I just feel like I can't quite crack and I'm not sure what piece I'm missing... 📚

MOAR

It's Star Trek Day!!!!!!!! Any excuse to post my Star Trek fanarts! #startrek

Happy Star Trek Day! Here are some of my favourite Lower Decks drawings from the last year or so.

this is one of the things I loved most about Ponyboi this year. New Jersey looked GRIMY and NEON and GROSS like New Jersey is in real life.

I think Star Trek endures because it encompasses all of the fundamental storytelling archetypes: Man vs man. Man vs self. Man vs computer. Man vs sexy lady. Man vs cave. Man vs God. Man vs lizard. Man vs tribunal. Man vs Abraham Lincoln. Man vs ghost. Man vs boss. Man vs doctor. Man vs rock. Man vs

few seem to understand that Criterion doesn't actually let any of those people leave

this is the future that i specifically want

They're playing one of the Conjurings in the Sie lobby this evening and I think Ed Warren would be a more effective exorcist if his Latin were even slightly better. Also if he sucked less as a dude IRL probably, but definitely send him to like... my middle school Latin teacher minimum.

Today I: got my annual check up, went to the gym, drank enough water throughout the day, baked a cake, and read a book (a whole book! In one sitting) before bed. Y'all.... I feel great. And I'm MAD about it. God why does taking care of yourself have to WORK.

OK but he's right and he should say it.

Duality

This kills me because like I learned SO MUCH from my major. Religious Studies was so important to my formation as a thinker and also so so so relevant to the world today.

Had to buy a new lunch box because my old one broke last week, and on day 1 I've officially christened it by spilling just so much coffee on the inside. Good news: very waterproof on the inside! I had no idea it was leaking! Bad news: maybe I also need a new travel thermos for coffee or something?

AI in Higher Ed: What admins hope is happening is AI will let them fire a lot of faculty (it won’t). What’s really happening is that tech companies are siphoning more $$ from one of the regular public funds to private profits pipelines, but now at a moment when universities can ill afford it.

Did I just devote time at the top of class to assure the students that I did not pick baby poo brown for my slides and that they were in fact orange on the computer? Yes. Yes I did. I matched my shoes to the slides and I need them to know who I am as a person. I have better aesthetics than that.

Genuine shout out to whatever deity was watching over me this morning and woke me up at exactly 7:00am when I forgot to set an alarm after the long weekend. I had an 8:30 meeting, and that could have gone really sideways considering I slept until 10 the other days I didn't set an alarm this weekend.

Time to remind people about the Commercial Pattern Archive — it doesn’t have instructions and search is a bear but there’s two hundred years’ worth of clothing patterns in here including all the big names new and old: copa.apps.uri.edu

Had the first interviews today and one of the applicants commented that they'd applied *because* I was so energetic about DH so it DID WORK

If anyone can explain to me why I bought a ticket to a 10pm showing of Weapons on a Wednesday, I'm all ears because I'm questioning my life choices.

It's wild, and a little unfair, just how well picking up heavy things and putting them back down makes me feel better and if I go for days without it, my mental health tanks
