Took a break from re-reading Who’s the Indian in Aztlán by Saldaña-Portillo and this is the first thing I see on my feed…

Somehow me whenever I’m grading papers no matter how many I think I’ve already graded

I can’t decide if I hope a typo of mine does or doesn’t cause widespread panic

Didn’t believe this until I clicked the link…omg

Yall ever watch peer feedback roll in from the Google Doc email notifications with a level of anxiety that could power 17 suns?

I’ve always wanted to get my PhD. And for almost all of the time that I’ve wanted it, I took it as granted that it was out of reach. Look at us now, Aaron; we’re doing it!

I am once again letting the good people know that tatemada salsa jalapeño is one of the best salsas you can get in a jar.
