Just a character trying to get through this fairy tale alive. PhD in German Studies from UW-Madison. VAP in German (moonlighting in French) at Knox College.
Turning on the air conditioning in May feels like defeat.

For the first time in years I was asked “what on earth do you do if you study German?”

And this time I got to say, “well I’m a German professor, so I’m pretty happy where I ended up.”

Can confirm that this helps.
So I made the change to lower my screen time by around 2 hours a day by reading a book.

So now instead of doom scrolling endlessly I go read a book and I feel 100x better for it 💛

You should try it, you don't have to read but honestly lowering your screen time is worth it

When I was 19 and my mother died, I dated a guy who could have (at the time) been the person I would marry.

He wasn’t, because it wasn’t right and also he got real clingy and, the day my mom died, more or less told me he wanted to marry me.

I just found out he died from the same cancer as her.

Not me invoking the demon voice on a dog that got out of her yard and came after mine.

#overheard in a bar: I’m so sorry. I can’t remember your name and I can’t remember whether I made out with you or your sister.

Saw #Wicked for the second time. Cried at it for the second time. As a self-described #adaptationsnob [ #academic ], the film is peak adaptation goodness.

I love having a personal website because it gives me an idea of who is looking me up, but sometimes it also evokes questions like:

Who on earth do I know in Rhode Island who is spending four hours on my website? Just reach out and we can chat!

I did not. And does any #linguistics folks want to explain why the past tense of “to malort” gets an umlaut?

Came back to Madison after my fall term ended and it’s snowing, so naturally I’m at the best bar in town to get a burger (The Caribou Tavern)
