My main observation about the news lately: many Americans, no matter their ideology, are way too comfortable discussing violence towards people in faraway lands as if they're not entirely real.

I’m reveling in my new status as a PhD student without coursework. It’s so freeing to teach and not think about assignments and readings for 3 other courses.
I have exams that I’ve been preparing for over the summer so I’m not completely free but this is nice 😊.
