BLEGH!

i have tailored/altered three pairs of pants by hand in the last two weeks

the great thing abt knowing how to sew is that the thrift store is truly a sandbox to me. an unmitigated land of potential. the horrible thing abt knowing how to sew is not having a sewing machine

the beauty of being in school is that i am watching everyone return back to their jobs after the holidays and meanwhile i will continue to spend my winter break reading by the river and going on long walks

I didn’t see any of the movies but this title is really not trying. “The Fellowship of the Ring,” that’s trying. “The Two Towers,” man cmon. “The Return of the King.” Elite titling game. “The Hunt for Gollum” you basic ass bitches. Not a Tolkien stan but that dude should haunt your asses for this

been feelin a bit like a rapid dog while on winter break--i need STRUCTURE and i need it NOW

Tennessee whistleblower says library board chair sought private data as part of state's book purge A First Amendment expert told The Advocate that there are "huge" legal implications stemming from the situation.

Officials in Tennessee aren't just banning books, they're now demanding information on who checked out contested (largely LGBTQ+) books, including names, addresses, and "household composition."

A librarian who was given the directive has come forward asking for whistleblower protections.

An excerpt from The Washington Post's interview with photographer Christopher Anderson: Question: "Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor?" Anderson: "I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, 'Should I smile or not smile?' and I said, 'How would you want to be portrayed?' We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, 'You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.' And I looked at him and I said, 'You know, you do, too.'"

MICROSOFT WORD PLEASE STOP AUTOCORRECTING MIDDLE ENGLISH I BEG OF YOU

at least it’s a relatively short essay

it’s due today, i’m halfway thru page 7 (12 pg minimum for the essay) and i am feeling zero sense of urgency or necessity to write (bad). need to practice sensory deprivation because otherwise im going to spend my time texting people instead of actually writing

they’re using b-roll from the town that i went to undergrad in :(

weird thing about moving states is that i still watch the news every morning from the place i used to live

how do i STILL have one more essay to write JESUS CHRIST

no one knows this is about the fact that i have a crush on someone who is also a grad student in the same department as me

i’ve deleted almost all social media apps from my phone + youtube (barring bluesky obv but i treat this more like a notes app than anything else) and so much of my evening is now spent calling/texting people as opposed to mindlessly scrolling, so that’s a win, i guess

Thei did a studye and founde out who ys awesome and capable of great thinges and worthye of love and the newes ys that it ys you.
