The one day of the year I can sleep in guilt free and I am wide awake at 6:30. Happy Mother’s Day out there y’all.

I was wondering about that! I was on crutches last year for Cs and it gave me a new way of seeing these spaces. This space felt nearly impossible. I’m sorry it was.

We should be talking about a plane crash, but instead he says something batshit about DEI and y’all turn the news cycle right back on him. STOP TAKING THE BAIT

I've entered some sort of 90s time warp this afternoon and have been solely listening to Ani DiFranco and Tricky. Time to buy some clove cigarettes.

100%. Take for eg I never even heard of an AP class till I got to college (see: rural poverty and public schools). The clueless audacity of some professors is naive and harmful.

i never know how much i believe in mercury retrogrades, but I do know in the past few days my water bottle broke, my cell phone shattered, and now my coffee machine is deader than a doornail.

Got a novavax covid booster this morning. Fingers crossed for minimal side effects (last time was negligible!).

Being in University DEI related meetings this last week has been……unfun. I ended my day today with can of nacho cheese dip. It was all I could muster.

I had to look at the news because this could 100% be real right now.

Had my β€œpromoted to Full Professor” reception tonight. Got a clock. I imagine it will keep track of the time spent on my increased service load
