I'm tapping away at emails and see this lovely red tanager in the mulberries outside my window. Why do we have to email when there are bright birds outside. Unrelated, when will I find time to devour all the Angela Carter and Iris Murdoch I want?

I'm so proud of these zines by dual enrollment high psych students. They displayed their zines at our Student Research and Creative Showcase. This was such a fun class to work with!

A yt, middle aged man in a button up shirt stopped me in a restaurant. "Excuse me ma'am, what does your shirt mean?" I told him it means I'm fat and that's cool with me (that caught him off guard!) and I want Palestine to be free. (1/2)

I desperately need @fivefourpod.bsky.social to dissect the Signal debacle and for @michaelhobbes.bsky.social to be a special guest because I love the long sigh he does before mentioning The Atlantic.

Ruth and I were reading the headlines earlier.

Tonight my plan is to stay up way too late and finish "O Caledonia."

The vibe: "I Capture the Castle" written by Shirley Jackson.

We've had references to "the cloud of illusion" and according to the handbook "the sword of interruption" is coming up. Here are my takeaways from the book and the training thus far.
