The #1 movie when you were 10 is how your 2026 will go. 😑

So my coworker is resigning and took the last 2 days of her job (Mon and Tues next week) as “sick days” and apparently deleted her whole Google Drive this morning (and then deleted the trash files) so that’s a fitting end to this week.

Just unwrapped a stick of gum and stuck the wrapper in my mouth instead of the gum. Not to make it a metaphor for my whole day, but…

I only got 19/20 because we had CompuServe, not AOL. (Though I had AIM, if that counts.)

First snow of the season!! Beautiful cozy morning- I’m going to go back to bed and snuggle with the cats while gazing out the window. (Shoveling later before Run Club holiday lunch!) Hopefully Grammie’s prediction services will be wrong and we won’t have all 14 snowstorms this season though 🥶

I hate how much I enjoyed this BIG NERD DESIGN ENERGY 🫦

Ran the hell out of the local 5k today!

Beyond Evil (2021)

I mean… Movie you’ve watched more than 6 times with a .gif (Hard mode, no Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, or Marvel)

Thread...of GENIUS

When you can't help but laugh because you just wanted to use writing a song about tuna as an excuse to get the company to pay for your fishing trip and now you're about to perform the tuna song (extended version) in concert with half your group's dance line because your fandom has no chill.

“There was a king, reigned in the East. There, where kings will sit and feast, they get their fill before they think- of poisoned meat and poisoned drink. He gathered all that springs to birth from the many-venomed earth and first a little, thence to more, he sampled al her killing store. And easy..

Power was out when I got to work today, so school was cancelled. Hit the gym on the way home (to avoid other school traffic), then went for a(n ill-advised) walk outside (it’s 16 degrees). It’s 10am and I’m in day-time pjs on the couch with some tea. Happy weekend!

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

This is amazing! And a reminder that the work of art is to expand our mind and consider the world in new ways which is also key for our survival.

A toss up between “they still teach that?!” and “you must have all the good kids” (not a question but still somehow always expects an answer 🤷‍♀️)

“The Invention of Love” and “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” are 2 of the best plays I’ve ever read.

it is devastating to be bearing witness to this as an educator. as the thread mentions, the causes are likely manifold - LLMs, post-covid brain damage, teaching to the test, transactional HS teaching, students under increased pressure, attention span degradation. but it's devastating in combination.

When you see this, post an image from your gallery to describe your mental health.

5 animals I’ve seen in the wild. 1. An alligator (or crocodile?) silently gliding under a low bridge I was standing on 2. Baby foxes 3. A merlin that I still to this day believe I manifested from the Universe 4. Bald eagles 5. Dolphins

(1) lots of waves this morning on the sound (2) Peter wants you to know that the “Black” in Black Friday is for black cats obviously

It me

I am become cat couch

On the train to NYC to see THE ACADEMY IS at Irving Plaza like it’s 2006.

What if instead of going to work I walk into the woods never to return? What if that?

This might be an unpopular opinion but what this baby seal is doing is very special to me, personally.

Happy 1 year Adoptaversary to my precious void 😻

Some fall views

I have thought about the Louvre password thing almost every day since it was revealed and I have laughed every single time. Its own kind of priceless art, really

FIVE HOURS LATER I am finished with grading.

Help! Go to quietduel @ instagram and help me decide what to watch for the rest of the day (while grading)

The GRADING, it begins 😵‍💫. Thinking of @ataratah.bsky.social on her birthday and wishing we were having an introvert party

I’ve never physically held a boombox on my shoulders, so… 1.

Did I actually wake up to happy news in US politics? (Local elections, that is) Is this real life?

I never think of the change back to Standard Time affecting me, but I slept through for almost 9hrs last night, and I’ve been mostly asleep on the couch for over 45 minutes. It’s 7:45pm. 🤨😴

File under Most First World of Problems but why is the NYC marathon tracking app so glitchy

ChatGPT: "Hello Ozymandias, Kynge of Kynges. Ich wolde love to make a colossal statue of you, just you, and how wondirful you are!"

Got some horrific news about a former student this weekend (and horror is ongoing). [details redacted] but the horror keeps hitting at random times and I’m … I dunno. It’s fvcked up man.

consistently and overwhelmingly proud of namjoon and everything he does

I look like my mom but I didn’t see it until I became an adult. I also look like my sister but we didn’t think so until we were grown, either. I’m also the only person in my entire (extended) family with curly hair.

harry potter tattoos have a significantly higher regret rate than any gender affirming surgeries

Today New England Fall was very much itself

Stop asking me if I'm interested in AI mode. I will never be interested in AI mode.

Cool fall evenings turn cozy. All of us on the couch together is my everlasting dream.
