It’s so good!

The adult version of “If you give a mouse a cookie” is “Since I already did this, I might as well do that.”

Who finds themselves wanting to go more analog every day?

If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them.

Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.

Dear @bcdreyer.social,

I assigned your text to my students taking a concurrent enrollment Intro to Creative Writing class and all of them, ages 15-18, from the US and Peru, have loved the way you make grammar so approachable. Thanks for the work you did and the way you made it so approachable.

Does anyone really understand the point of perfume commercials?

OpenAI Pleads That It Can’t Make Money Without Using Copyrighted Materials for Free OpenAI is begging Parliament to allow it to use copyrighted works because it's "impossible" for the company to make money without them.

"Sorry, we can't make this technology that sucks and nobody wants and that uses enough power to blow up the moon unless we *also* steal people's shit to throw into our content woodchipper in order to produce mediocre digital particleboard out of the cumulative artbarf."

All these goobers posting airplanes and stars thinking they’re drones made me realize that if there was social media 500 years ago, a bunch of people would have been sharing pictures labeled “omg a mermaid” with community notes like “that’s a rock” and “manatee.”

I got my results back on a full cognitive assessment today and there is something about having names and data for things regarding how I think that has been validating and dismaying and interesting.

The amount of work that goes into being okay when you aren’t is such a real thing.

Once again, @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social is asking the important questions.

Watching a video to fix an air fryer and the dude says about a part, “The issue is it doesn’t work.”

That’s definitely the commentary I was wondering about. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yesterday I was talking to my daughter about what she wants to do career wise. I told her to follow @pocketobservatory.org to see the breadth of what was possible and this morning I’m still certain it was the correct answer.

So much this. I already think people are mad at me for no reason - that fire does not need any fuel.

This is why I like watching movies at home - pause buttons.

I’m deep in the work with IFS and EMDR, and I’m here to tell you the dreams from this kind of work take whatever wonkiness was normal and enhance it by 100.

There is a commercial out there for a new medication to help women with menopausal hot flashes.

One of the side effects?

Hot flashes.

Watched Moulin Rouge with my daughter a couple nights ago and now have all the songs on shuffle in my brain.

This is a delightful grammar nerd thread.

Fall colors in the trees being mirrored in a small lake.

Went to a lovely wedding reception. Had a lovely little panic attack.
Brains are fun.
But not more than new love.

In response to an assigned reading, a student asked what might need to happen in order for AI to both store and interpret our dreams and that feels both scary and fascinating.

This is the first year I'm going into cold and flu season without tonsils and I'm super curious if I'm going to get my annual late Nov/early Dec "it's not pneumonia yet."

Well if this is happening in your dreams, maybe it's a nudge to read Unlikely Animals by @anniehartnett.bsky.social

It’s Time to Bring Back the '90s Legal Thriller Movies like 'The Firm,' 'The Pelican Brief,' and 'The Client' used to rule Hollywood. Let’s make some more.

This is a movie trend I'd love to see again.

1,000,000% understand the overwhelm agents must have from querying writers and that replying to everyone is impossible.

And it feels a bit like handing out my phone number at a speed dating event only to never get a call. #doesmybreathstink

Picture of a toilet with a paint tray and roller on the closed lid. The paint color is a pale blue-green shade. Text in the headline reads “How to give your toilet a pop of color with a little paint.”

I have questions.

You need to meet @cindybaldwinbooks.bsky.social - she’s smart and gracious and has lived with CF her whole (or almost) life.

Woke up at 4:30 (thanks 45yo bladder) and couldn’t fall back asleep.

My brain decided it was hilarious to repeat this track on the mental jukebox.
