I know we weren’t allowed to cite Google, Wikipedia, or anything that wasn’t a book or scholarly journal when doing research in school. I’m also told academia has since relaxed on that sort of thing. Put the babies back on JSTOR.

The inch or so of snow we got has pretty much melted. But! My son made snowballs and got to slide down his snow-packed slide.
And because this is the deep south school has already been canceled. #chswx

quote from Haruki Murakami: β€œI keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind.

β€œBut to hold to such repetition for so longβ€”six months to a yearβ€”requires a good amount of mental and physical strength. In that sense, writing a long novel is like survival training. Physical strength is as necessary as artistic sensitivity.”

Not pictured: Haruki Murakami’s wife, or indeed whoever is cooking, cleaning, paying bills, running errands, doing the laundry, answering emails, etc

like yea his routine is goals, but let’s not lie to ourselves about all the invisible work others are doing to enable him to have that routine

Support H.Res. 996 to impeach Kristi Noem. Why aren’t you a co-sponsor?

I called and left messages for my South Carolina senators. Tim Scott’s office usually always answers the phone, but not today. I’ve been calling Lindsay Graham for years and they have NEVER answered the phone. He doesn’t want to hear from us.
