I’m just over here contemplating that maybe it was the rapture? And all the heavenly host looked at their options down here and were like “…yeah…I mean…we’re all set up here…”??

Is liberalism in the room with us now, Prof Sunstein?

TIL that Liberty University grants PhD's. I didn't want to know that.

i did not buy a piece of crafting kit on Facebook marketplace that would have sent me deep diving into a whole new crafty discipline today. Please clap. (lolsob, it was a brand new smocking pleater. Just image the possibilities)

Now that it’s been gifted, I can post about it! A little rainforest-themed baby quilt for a lovely set of soon-to-be parents! Little embroidery hearts in the corners, becuase babies are stars.

Kids these days get alllll the credit for the fall of the written word, with Chat-GPT. We ruined it first with “text speak,” youngsters. Kthnxbai.

WHAT THE HELL, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC?? We have enough BS to deal with at the moment, I don’t need YOU piling on…

I’m calling this one “scrappy American.” It’s all red, white, & blue, because I love this country. And, that doesn’t mean it’s easy, or simple, or that we aren’t constantly trying to live up to the promise. I’m not giving up, and I’m not giving in. I’m scrappy American. I bet many of you are, too.

Now we’re three blocks in…

Two new squares for a new project.

Little tiny promises that it won’t be hit for all eternity…

Okay, but like…you could also just SAY something… www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/a...

The mountain that is smoking just outside the city is a *distraction* Pompeians! The people want to hear a candidate take on the *prices in the thermopolia.* They care about building new ~aqueducts~. The hysteria over the so-called “volcano” is to get your mind off of tablinum issues…

When did men's blazers stop being fully lined, and why does everyone want to look slouchy? I feel like that men's wear guy is on here now, and I am looking for answers.

3 squares!!!!

Literally the only thing I’m doing to cope with **the muchness** of today is making and consuming excessive amounts of carbs.

I *loathe* reporting attendance for college students.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

My child just said to me that he “might could make more” of the cool Lego figure he had just shown me. Raising children in the US Southeast is not for the linguistically faint of heart.

Low carb? Nah.

If you are murdered and a neo-Nazi rally gathered in honor of your life erupts into a race war chant, your critics getting fired for saying that you had a toxic influence on society probably have a point, and the people doing the firing probably aren't actually concerned about political violence.

A full year of Duolingo. Just need to get to South Africa to practice in real life…

Here we are, fully a year later, but the ✨girlie Christmas✨table runner is quilted and ready to be put to use!

I need you to recognize that this is white "nationalist" stuff here. It's not (just) "oh, look at the weirdness of a Hindu talking about a Christian with Norse references." This is Patel speaking in the language of the extreme white right. (See below)

It's normal to have to re-read the abstracts of things you submitted in moments of joyous-possibility-about-future-productivity when it actually comes to the grim task of writing them... ...right?

"Debate Me Bro" content is never a good faith engagement. Full stop.

Lots of helicopters flying over campus today, and I’m not sure which bucket they belong to: 1) MedEvacs 2) Security 3) News 4) Some football nonsense

Mistaking facility for Goodness is really a helluva Platonic nightmare.

Hi, yes, this is a very good question. Does anyone have an answer?

Saying “that’s not who we are” can be earnestly aspirational (a call to conscience), even if it isn’t empirically or historically true.

I've never been cool. I'm not about to start now. Go Away, NYT.

I have a new clicker for my big lecture class, and I’ve decided to use it exclusively to be *a menace* to my students. I will not be contained.

So. I mean. I just. And now I get to go teach this morning.

Quant researchers that suddenly throw in a qual project are all, "Look! I made a salad" Meanwhile, the salad they made:

Slightly diminish a book Spleen of Darkness

I need an IR theorist to come down to the South an examine the motherhood arms race that is children’s birthday parties.

yall. I did it. I actually got through my to-do list for the week. it's 9:34 PM on a Friday, but I'm DONE** **(until Sunday, prolly)

Yo, this slam poetry open mic night SUCKS.

the horrifying revelation that a new co-author is... ...a two-spaces-after-a-period writer... ...and you have to decide if you can actually continue in this partnership...

The power is out, so I’m here working on my computer by candlelight, hotspotting from my phone like a damn pioneer.

Louder, for the people in the back.

It’s really not a very big loss in the grand scheme of things, but… …I’m real bummed that it seems like we won’t be going to Florida anymore.

11 year olds for (dual executive) president.

Some of you really only did extracurriculars to get into college, and it shows.

Playing around with an old project, and I think I’ve *finally* figured out what it wants to be.

Does anyone know when we are supposed to hear about ISA decisions?

I am (apparently) “oooooh, look at those cute corduroy overalls!” years old.

Ran away to the mountains today. Highly recommend.
