Feel like I have to credit @mitchnobis.bsky.social for inspiring me to add the comment, "Boy howdy is that an impressive closing," to the student draft I just read.

Make a band singular:

U1

Moving my CDs to another room in the house means a wallow in nostalgia.

First up: an Irish band who never received the renown they deserved.

I'm reading my copy of The Heart in Winter by Kevin Barry, only to find that after page 150 the text then repeats pages 55-86 before returning to page 183.

This feels . . . wrong.

No school today: Blizzard.
No school tomorrow: Blizzard aftermath.
Possibly no school Friday: Winter Storm Number Two of the week.

"We cannot outsource thinking and compassion to a hierarchy-generating machine and expect the world to be anything other than automated emptiness and exploitation."

Many thanks to @audreywatters.bsky.social for these words today.

You have these weeks where you just want to crawl into a hole and hide, but then you drive home from school on a Friday and see a young girl walking home from school while reading a book, oblivious to the single-digit wind chill, and think maybe there is hope for us yet

Quite rude of the sun to come out while I am listening to The Cure's new album.
