My youngest, a freshman at my university, just got campus library job. I joked that I have an ILL book that’s three months overdue (which is true), and they straight up ratted me out. The library fuzz are now breathing down my neck.

How sharper than a serpent’s tooth, indeed.

@duchesssexpert.bsky.social I’m rarely on Bluesky, but I was thinking about you the other day and thought I’d look you up. Lo and behold, here you are. We lost contact when Twitter devolved, and I regret that.

I hope you’re well, my friend.

What should have been a quick oil change in preparation for my upcoming 2000 mile mountain motorcycle extravaganza hit a snag in the form of pinhole leaks in my cheapo oil recycling tub.

But now the dinosaurs have been returned to their cages, & we launch on Friday.

Yesterday, I sat in a committee meeting, had a paper rejected, prepped for finals, secured some funding, admitted some grad students, wrote some marketing copy, celebrated our salutatorian (ed major!), revised a chapter proposal, & had dinner with a monk. A pretty normal day.

Two firsts this week. I submitted my first fiction manuscript for publication, and I received my first rejection letter for a fiction manuscript.

When I said I wanted to bring balance to the Force, this isn’t what I meant.

I submitted my first science-fiction manuscript for publication yesterday, and the editor still hasn’t given me a decision, despite having had a whole 24 hours to read my work with care and precision. Do they think I’m compulsively checking my email for fun?

Well, I’ve submitted my first ever fiction manuscript to a publisher. This is a new kind of feeling.

The primary benefit to riding a motorcycle is the smugly superior coolness that it bestows upon you, but calculating your MPG is a close second.

Academic journal editors: do your journals have policies about the use of Chat-GPT or other AI tools in manuscript generation? Do those policies differ if the usage was self-disclosed by the author?

So I posted a video on Instagram, and I added a Paul Simon classic for music. IG shortened the name, and I feel like there’s a message in there for me.

Mrs. Delarocker won’t announce it if she has some down time, but there will be signs.

I’m back on my midlife-crisis-motorcycling-to-work nonsense, and it’s glorious.

She’s the prettiest girl at school.
