Idk if this is a hot take, but I’m a huge supporter of crying. I think crying is good, in moderation at least. It doesn’t solve anything, but after a good cry I usually feel a bit more mentally prepared to handle things.

Just went to the grocery and bought one frozen pizza and one 8-pack of ice cream cones. To any one who can relate I just want to say it’s okay to not be okay.

I started watching football in 2003. This was literally the best drive the #ChicagoBears have had since then.

The best part about dissociating in my office for a half hour or so after my late afternoon class ends is that gives rush hour traffic time to ease up

New album, No One Was Driving the Car, by #LaDispute. So good. Very poetic, I appreciate the imagery in the lyrics and the impressive variance in the vocal performances. Both epic and intimate, universal and personal. Wasn’t too familiar with this band before, definitely will be listening more

Currently drinking a monster at 4pm because the first day of the semester is exhausting.
I sure hope this doesn’t just make me sleep worse and then make tomorrow even more exhausting, and then again the next day over and over until December…

Sometimes I wonder how much better my life would be if email just didn’t exist. Like I think I would enjoy my job so much more without it. Probably just the grass being greener.

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.
Good thing no one uses Microsoft Excel for anything related to legal, regulatory or compliance business functions

New album by #thearmed is a huge front runner for my favorite album of the year. Energetic, emotional, angry, and ultimately cathartic. An album that sounds like how the world feels. Don’t let it make you go numb.

My favorite thing about seeing a shoegaze band live is trying to figure out when the musicians are done tuning and the song has actually started.

Thank you, Apple, for telling me my #dog is either a white-tailed deer or a Ganges river dolphin. When you rescue you just never know the breed for sure, so this helps.

I like cooking but hate making dinner. Does that make sense or am I crazy.
