Well I've done it. I have learned some fairly effective HTML and CSS skills instead of making solid progress on my dissertation this summer.

Have a love/hate relationship with linux.
Love the lack of MS or Apple bloat (though the former is far more egregious than the latter on the desktop os end of things)
Absolutely despise how difficult it is to find a stable and actually useful open source approach to text editing.

No clue what happened but something screwed my mint install and in the process corrupted multiple drives. Not ideal to lose a bunch of work when in the middle of dissertation proposal prep.

The open source community(?) is a weird beast. A mix of privacy consciousness and skepticism directed at large corporations paired with a complete political ineptitude with regards to how politics function. Generally promoting good practices but often in a way that misses the bigger picture.

Added a nostalgia/hauntology section to my intro course this year. We'll see how it goes. While hauntology might be a bit abstract for the students, touching on nostalgia might prove engaging to students (not to mention gesturing to its role in contemporary politics)

Found in my time teaching that students tend to appreciate worksheets that get them out into the world (and as a sociologist that's what I should be doing anyway). Still altering, but this should be a fun exercise for my students.
