Teaching white collar crime this semester was not the best time to implement my “have all lecture slides completely up to date on examples” plan for course prep. I just - I think I need to settle for a picture of a dumpster fire.
Glad I’m not teaching Soc of Law, though.

I feel like it is fitting that I’m posting an end-of-grading update about getting to play video games, prep for new classes, and play a cyberpunk ttrpg with my brother and my husband as my first non-cat contribution to this space.
