I’ve got to tell you something but I’m really nervous. Please be gentle.

Ok. Deep breath . . .

I’ve never watched a Muppet Show (except for the muppet babies cartoon)

Consider me part of the woke mob trying to destroy Columbus’ “accomplishments” and tarnishing his “good” name.

When I was a little kid I loved to write my name on things. I got in trouble for carving my name into the underside of my parents' dinner table. Then I realized that I'm not the center of the world and grew up.

Same. The only regret I have about not having kids is never getting to name a human.

I can’t find the words to properly articulate how much this annoys me. Columbus was an incompetent leader, rapist, slaver, and purveyor of genocide.
Also, he never stepped foot on what is now the United States.

I can’t stay mad at these little guys! Happy Groundhog Day and Merry Endless Winter!

If you want evidence of how ridiculous the housing market is:

We bought this house in Kansas City, KS for $137,000 in 2018 and sold it for $172,000 in 2020. It sold again in 2023 for $259,000

As far as I can there are no major upgrades beyond what we did (new floors, roof, hvac, foundation work)

Decided to try to move my car in anticipation of having to go to campus tomorrow and teach.

Guess what happened?

My drivers side door handle fell off and both doors are frozen shut.

Worst migraine of my life. Somehow I made it to the doctor’s office and they gave me some shots. Fingers crossed

Dumb question: I had an article rejected by a journal and I strongly disagree with one of the anonymous reviewer's comments. I am very nervous that if I send the essay somewhere else, they will also approach this person to review it since it's a pretty niche topic. How should I approach this?

Sometimes when I post pictures of my pets and they don’t get a lot of attention I think to myself: “Ingrates! don’t they understand how lucky they are to get to look at these animals?”
