Teacher, overly self-confident and also overly self-conscious. Knowledge is joy.

40 years ago today, The Golden Girls, which informed the way I move in the world as a woman, premiered. Here's to being the 5th child in the '80s whose parents didn't care what she watched on Saturday nights as long as she didn't disrupt their card game! 🍰 (not cheesecake, I know)

Weird how in remembering a 20-year-old video game I didn't remember it actually being legitimately hard.

UGH. First of all, Memorial Day is for military folks who are dead. Also, COPS AREN'T MILITARY.

Omg why does Netflix's UI suck so bad. Isn't this literally all they do?!

"Only the Good Die Young" is one of the worst pop songs in history.

I just saw the most disgusting commercial of my life, for some flea medication. Well done.

Leaving a group you never really belonged in is a relief.

I just found out that the school I attended grades 2-8 is closing. I strongly believe this is a good thing, but the memories are strong.

Haha, are *now being evaluated politically, not "not." Sigh.

Fulbright semi-finalists are not being evaluated politically. To be clear: I had already made my decision not to go, and there are people who are suffering far worse than these applicants, but this is certainly alarming.

I mean, I will clearly uphold the boycott. But this one hurts.

I like Ken Jennings, but when Neilesh thanked him, Johnny Gilbert, and the rest of the Jeopardy! crew for getting his name right, Ken acknowledged it with the casualness of someone with common first and last names. Names are a really big deal, and getting them right is extraordinarily important.

Several red state AGs including mine are suing to dismantle 504s in schools.

Please, call your reps and AGs to demand they let all children learn in public schools. The end goal is to delete all special education services. All accommodations.

Those kids would DEFINITELY correct me. They corrected a mod on Sir Gawain, even though I've heard it both ways. I was like, "Everyone needs to settle down."

Going to start pronouncing David Mamet "Daveed Ma-MAY" just to see who says something.
