Admit it
you always kind of wondered
what you would have done
had you been alive
during the dark times
of the previous century,
and now that you are here
during the dark times
of the current century
you have your answer,
how horrible it is
to have that answer.

We have precedent for this, unfortunately. Andrew Jackson, 1832.

This reminds me of the time in '15 when TN spent millions to test 16k+ food stamp recipients, assuming they'd find massive welfare fraud. They caught 37 people. Super efficient use of taxpayer funds.

For the record, by "altered mindset," I meant I was stoned & had the munchies. 🤣 I suppose pickles were a relatively harmless choice when I wanted to eat the whole fridge.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

Updated list of companies committed to DEI

A drawing of a guillotine with the words so be it written on the blade.

If this is how it's gonna be

I mean, I'd need to be high to be there, and you'd have to be paying me a *lot*.

Grad school, man. Some days I wonder what insanity possessed me to sign up for this.

Un-decoraring the tree is always a little sad.
Time must move on, the Wheel must turn for us to grow. But the warm twinkle is always a little too brief.

Oh, you prefer sweet pickles? Or cucumbers are too carb-y?

Altered-mindset and craving a late night snack...
Do pickles count as a vegetable?

A NASA photo of NGC 2264- a cosmic tree that has been named the Christmas Tree Cluster which lives in our galaxy about 2,500 light-years from Earth. It contains baby stars that are between 1 and 5 million years old 🥺

"We must not seek the Child Jesus in the pretty figures of our Christmas cribs. We must seek him among the undernourished children who have gone to bed at night with nothing to eat..."

Same. Twitter was never my thing, even before it was ruined. But I'm trying it out.
