Hey! Welcome back to Austin! (Waves) Let me know next time you’ve got more time!

So I think the first part of your message gets at the problem- it’s a bear to read, and I think people get hung up on tools they read about in the first 6 chapters or so (since that’s as far as they read)… IMO the ideas later on give context for the tools but people mostly give up before that

Maybe they’re really into the color red?

I have the feeling a lot of them still don’t know what’s really happening yet. I think they just heard a few DEI folks got fired, and I guess Ukraine is bad now? (A very weird, thin slice of what’s going on)

I’m not going to say that certain processes are stupid and basically encourage this. See? I didn’t say it.

Yes, you can actually check if your shot is still effective by getting your titers checked, but just re-upping your shot takes 10 minutes, and you can do it while you’re out picking up snacks. And this is a low side-effects shot.

Well guess that shows how into sports I was. If there wasn’t someone in my hall who did said sport or a relevant stadium that blocked my route to a cafeteria I basically didn’t know about it!

Woo! I should put my W&M flag out! (In related news….we have hockey team?? Did we have one back when we were there?)

Eh, it’s the trip back you have to worry about, another week of destruction will have happened by then! (have you considered an ocean liner for your return?)

OMG there’s a fire, this lighter fluid seems like a good way to put it out!!

I mean it’s still an excuse to throw a bunch of garbage snacks in the air fryer and calling that dinner. Now excuse me, I think I still have a few cheese sticks that need eating…

Tingling enough that I’m avoiding using certain words online that might get me flagged when I refer to current happenings

Not just that, seems … particularly reminiscent of a certain 30s/40s era political party
