I knit, I spin, I devour SF/F. I crochet (badly). Slogging through a Ph.D.

Lifetime higher ed staffer - beware: here be OPINIONS.

Two things:

1.) Be nice or leave.

2.) The institution will never love you back.

I am Not Great at sewing but found this linen dress thrifting for $8. A size too small in the bust, but the perfect collar/color. Opened both side seams. Got some wide cotton lace. A lot of profanity later, it fits! I am stealing this hashtag from @longpig.bsky.social #wedonotsew

From combed top to singles to yarn to final project. Corriedale top by Grittyknits, bought by friend for me to spin; spun to preserve the color gradient and the braids were plied together. Friend ran out of yarn and finished with the stripes on one end. #handspunyarn #handspinning #spinningwool
Two braids of combed and dyed corriedale wool top Spun singles on bobbins Finished yarn A woman wearing a wrap hood knitted with handspun yarn. The ends of the hood are long and narrow and go past her knees. It is a scarf/hood hybrid. One end has been knitted with handspun that has striped, the rest is a color gradient of blues and turquoise.

When you still lick your paws raw DESPITE multiple deterrent attempts, you get a bigger cone of shame. (I am very mean to small dogs, can’t you tell?)

Licking your paws raw DESPITE the slice of shame buys you hard time. #coneofshame

Licking your paws bald buys you time in the orange slice of shame.

Grittyknits corriedale, combed top to finished yarn. Worsted weight, I forget the yardage. Spun for my neighbor, who will both appreciate and use it. #handspunyarn #handspinning #corriedale

Maybe we can use this plying queue to my advantage on my proposal. If I finish my theory section I can ply for a set amount of time, maybe. (This isn’t even all of it 😅.) The 8oz gradient from my earlier pic is the pink one far left in the second shot. #handspinning #handspunyarn

I called Hector "Samson" this morning. :(

9 years later, I still miss my heart's companion. He was old, he went naturally. But still.

Contemplating whether to do a mini Tour de Fleece this year. I should absolutely be working on my proposal but my brain needs an outlet. Maybe this project I started several years back #handspinning

Nothing like pulling out some #zoomknitting and realizing you’ve dropped a bunch of stitches in linen/cotton yarn. Thank god I use pointy needles for picking them back up.

I was so good and waited for dad to get back from his month-long trip before starting Murderbot. It’s so good! But also so short. :(

Here is my current favorite picture of Hector. He has one brain cell rattling around in his adorable head, but he loves everything anyway.
A picture of a tan and white Pomeranian perched on the arm of a tan couch. There is a hardwood floor and a some furniture in the background. The dog’s name is Hector and he currently has a bad summer haircut. Nevertheless he is smiling and has his ears back asking for pets. He is a good boy. If you look deeply into his eyes you can hear his one brain cell rattling around in his adorable head.

Here is a picture of my dog Hector, prince of Troy. If you listen carefully you can hear his single brain cell rattling around in his adorable head. I hope he helps a little.

As a lifetime higher ed staffer, as a student, and as a parent I am watching the rising use of AI at the university with dread. I'm struggling to articulate why I hate it so much, beyond the infantile "that's cheating!" reaction, but Clay Shirky's article helps:

www.chronicle.com/article/is-a...
A screen capture from the Chronicle of Higher Education showing part of an April 2025 essay by Clay Shirky. The capture reads: "Earlier this semester, an NYU professor told me how he had AI-proofed his assignments, only to have the students complain that the work was too hard. When he told them those were standard assignments, just worded so current AI would fail to answer them, they said he was interfering with their “learning styles.” A student asked for an extension, on the grounds that ChatGPT was down the day the assignment was due. Another said, about work on a problem set, “You’re asking me to go from point A to point B, why wouldn’t I use a car to get there?” And another, when asked about their largely AI-written work, replied, “Everyone is doing it.” Those are stories from a 15-minute conversation with a single professor."
