I really like the way NWSA communicates. I am not psyched about travel. But acknowledgment of the realities (resources are also linked in the email) goes a long way with me. I’m on a panel I’m psyched about and I read this and think: OK! Let’s do this! I’m so cheesy, forgive me. I heart you, WGSS.

Found this clipping from who knows where in an envelope with photos at my mom’s. Remember this, ladies, the next time jackasses start mouthing off about how you’re ruining the workplace. (Also my mom worked at Yale so LOL)

Others have already said the important stuff but I do love how Lepore says earlier in the same stupid exchange that she likes being contrarian and does a lot of “performance of disagreement.” You don’t say! Methinks your students called bullshit. It’s almost like words mean something, Jill.

5yo, pointing to the brand name on my ancient alarm clock radio: “why is that like the beginning of KPop Demon Hunters?”
His mind was genuinely blown to learn that a company that made clocks also makes movies. As is mine honestly. Corporations are so weird.

In case you like me are feeling extremely depressed abt your current (non)reading habits: 2025 has been the toughest yr of my life. Family stuff I’m not going to get into rn and writing an 11K-word essay—my first in YEARS—means I have read exactly two books (2) just because. Both bangers though.
