I help build communities because I believe deeply in communities.

Posting about that + tech, education, music, film, art, and...unfortunately...the Brooklyn Nets.

Though nothing will ever top my all-time favorite notification, which told me how many times a song that appeared in a reel that I saved had been used in other reels.

Prize goes to the first person who can give me one rational explanation for what I could do with this information.
An instagram notification that reads "Safe In Your Skin by Title Fight, a track in a reel you saved, was used in 9,200 reels."

QB Dart OUT after finding himself in his bed, transformed, into a monstrous vermin. He will be reevaluated in 4-6 weeks.

Left the meeting notes transcriber on during my call and my very shy cat came by for a rare visit
A screenshot from a meeting notes transcriber which reads: "Awesome. So good to see you. Take care, Alex. Hi, Daniel! Hi, my smallest one! Hi, my baby-ish!"

TFW the NBA is back but your team is an embarrassment on every conceivable level.

Sigh. Go Nets.

Bars. Straight bars from Maria Popova.
A picture of a passage from Maria Popova’s book Figuring, which reads: “she reasoned like an artist, not like a scientist. Ambition is disfigured into arrogance when it becomes unmoored from self awareness, from a realistic assessment of one's competences. In her guest for perpetual motion, Homer was no more arrogant than the archetypal entrepreneur who makes his fortune in Silicon Valley, then declares that he will solve the ancient puzzle of immortality in its modern and equally unreasonable guise, the singularity. Some portion of genius surely lies in the ability to tell apart what is pre sumed to be impossible by consensus or convention and what is physically impossible because the forces that made us made it so.”

Maria Mitchell was such a ⭐️
Mitchell employed many unconventional teaching methods in her classes. She reported neither grades nor absences, advocated for small classes and individualized attention, and incorporated technology and mathematics into her lessons. 14] Though her students' career options were limited by their gender, she emphasized the importance of their study of astronomy. "I cannot expect to make astronomers," she said to her students, "but I do expect that you will invigorate your minds by the effort at healthy modes of thinking. When we are chated and fretted by small cares, a look at the stars will show us the littleness of our own interests."

Got a package in the mail today I wasn’t expecting. Didn’t recognize the return address.

Turns out it was the Hal Hartley project I backed on Kickstarter more than a year ago! SO so pumped for this! What a lovely late-summer surprise

I was an English major. I read regularly. Only two authors have ever made me laugh out loud: Kurt Vonnegut and Tomihiko Morimi.

If you have never read Morimi and want to laugh your butt off, I cannot recommend his work highly enough.
The cover for Tomihiko Morimi's The Tatami Galaxy, which features a collage of characters and elements from the story. The cover for Tomihiko Morimi's The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl, which features a collage of characters and elements from the story.
