I’m done teaching until Fall 2026!

This is astonishing.

So not “42”?

They are a bit more cakey—they don’t flatten out as much

Well-deserved!

Good ol’ Tollhouse chocolate chip (but with twice the baking soda and slightly undercooked)

I wonder if we will also be delayed for de-icing.

My fake flight is delayed by almost an hour. The bus is awaiting clearance to get to the gate. Flight control is probably like, “Dude, you’re a bus, WTF.”

My “flight” is a bus…which I could have discovered by reading the fine print but, you know, booking something called a “flight” and choosing seats on an image shaped like a plane encourages certain expectations. Hard eye roll, #AmericanAirlines.

Predictable :(

That guy is messed up

I loved that film!

AUGUST I937 Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am horrified at having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human. It is always the same words telling the same lies. And the fact that men accept this, that the people's anger has not destroyed these hollow clowns, strikes me as proof that men attribute no importance to the way they are governed; that they gamble— yes, gamble-with a whole part of their life and their so-called "vital interests."

Fuck it. I’m in a mood. Let’s do another Saturday with Camus.

Awesome! Congratulations and I hope it fully pans out!

Might this be related to the thing that, a few weeks ago, you said you put yourself out there for? In any case, hoping this and the other thing turn out well for you.

I hope you’ll get your thing!

What happened?

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life:

1. Lillies in full bloom in June
2. A cocktail on the porch with close friends.
3. Donuts on Sunday morning
4. A campfire at the end of a long day
5. Rolling up a new DnD character

I can’t understand a parent shouting in rapid succession from the sidelines at a soccer game “Go! Go! Stay! Stay! Go!” How does one follow that instruction?

Frustrating indeed!

Omg, this is awful.

How scary! Hope all is well now, or will be soon.

I went to that conference (I assume it’s the same one) in 2006 and stayed in a convent there too—looks like the same convent, even, from the look of the room. It was awesome. Hope you have a good time!

In Kirchberg perhaps?

I wrote for Substack about the BBB & the psychology of fascism

say what you will about nancy pelosi (as one of her constituents believe me i have) she'd have impaled herself with a gavel live on the house floor before she'd have allowed this shitshow of a vote on her watch as speaker
