I probably matters not at all, but I’m going to be taking a bit of a hiatus from the social internet.

I feel like my brain just…needs more space? If that makes any sense.

So, I’ll see you all in a bit. Find me elsewhere if you need me.

Oooh, Joe Alwyn is going to have a very bad day…

(Mutters) “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all…If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all…If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all…”

…she is…committed…to the bit…

In point of fact, all of my favorite adults are former children.

It’s the first 80+ degree and sunny stretch, and there are so many *deeply sunburned* undergraduates.

The more I listen to Cowboy Carter the more I am struck by the inversion of the mental space of “country” in a country music album. Not because of alienation, but affiliation.

The hot-take industry’s need to make everything good v. bad is really exhausting.

Who do I know in San Francisco?

I need someone to tell me that building myself a new dining table isn’t a reasonable aspiration, and that I should probably just do the grading I have to do, rather than looking at plans…

I love how the advice to lose weight a few years ago was “eat a little bit all the time” and now it’s “eat a bunch all at once, and fast the rest of the day”

And people conclude that it is advances in science, rather than that the diet industry was BS all along.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: no one loves a balloon arch quite like the University of Tennessee.

Spent the time between dinner and bath time trying to explain dark matter to my first grader (from my own ~very basic~ understanding), and I maybe kind of did it?

I’m basically store brand Hank Green now.

Even when I post the exact same things…

Who has written about the elaborate performances of nationalism via security at fairly new international borders (like India/Pakistan, North/South Korea, Northern Ireland/Rep of Ireland)?

The school district suddenly decided to have a half day today for the eclipse because it was a “great educational opportunity”…okay…

…but…
1) we’ve definitely known about this for a while?
And
2) I thought educational opportunities were sort of your *thing*.
