Just want to note that I did this again in the spring semester

Accidentally just told my Tuesday afternoon class to have a good weekend. It’s been a long week already.

Aggressive drinking game idea for the #AFCCG : drink on every three and out. #NEvsDEN

I’d have to say my favorite part about day lights saving time ending is the depression

I choose to believe that all of the receivers played hooky together and a Ferris Bueller style day off.

It’s like how after you throw up you usually feel better. Crying is just throwing up for your brain.

Idk if this is a hot take, but I’m a huge supporter of crying. I think crying is good, in moderation at least. It doesn’t solve anything, but after a good cry I usually feel a bit more mentally prepared to handle things.

Just went to the grocery and bought one frozen pizza and one 8-pack of ice cream cones. To any one who can relate I just want to say it’s okay to not be okay.

It takes an hour or two to clean a kitchen and one meal to ruin it again

I wish I could still get a personal pan pizza for reading a book

The soundtrack to #Suspiria by #Goblin is an absolute s-tier soundtrack. Phenomenal stuff.

I started watching football in 2003. This was literally the best drive the #ChicagoBears have had since then.

The best part about dissociating in my office for a half hour or so after my late afternoon class ends is that gives rush hour traffic time to ease up

Album cover for No One Was Driving the Car by La Dispute: a collage of faces on a red background.

New album, No One Was Driving the Car, by #LaDispute. So good. Very poetic, I appreciate the imagery in the lyrics and the impressive variance in the vocal performances. Both epic and intimate, universal and personal. Wasn’t too familiar with this band before, definitely will be listening more

Currently drinking a monster at 4pm because the first day of the semester is exhausting.

I sure hope this doesn’t just make me sleep worse and then make tomorrow even more exhausting, and then again the next day over and over until December…

Sometimes I wonder how much better my life would be if email just didn’t exist. Like I think I would enjoy my job so much more without it. Probably just the grass being greener.

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

I like listening to #Swans because it’s fun to listen to music that sounds how my anxiety feels.

New album by #thearmed is a huge front runner for my favorite album of the year. Energetic, emotional, angry, and ultimately cathartic. An album that sounds like how the world feels. Don’t let it make you go numb.

Love the instant wave of relief when I call someone and they don’t pick up. 10/10

The bears offense was so bad before this staff that they needed a 12 step program

My favorite thing about seeing a shoegaze band live is trying to figure out when the musicians are done tuning and the song has actually started.

Almost annoyed at how much I enjoy this Dr Pepper flavored Liquid Death drink
