as per usual, i procrastinated all my chores to Sunday evening and completely wore myself out so I'll be a zombie to start out my week

my tummy has felt slightly better lately so I might tempt fate and eat an apple

it was wild the other night when he was watching something and i could see the flashes and hear the explosions from outside

that decibel meter makes me think that my dad goes for realism when watching war movies by cranking it up to 140

we're doing a trash pickup walk next week and I keep joking that I've been going on trash planting walks to make sure we have plenty to pick up

a man wearing sunglasses and a red tie is typing on a computer keyboard Alt: a man typing on a computer. he paused, leans forward, and lifts his glasses to peer closer at the screen

trying to figure out if a non-traditional health clinic is a scam or not

how is it that the Kennedy curse hasn't taken out the guy who looks and acts like he's actively decaying in front of our eyes

I've been trying to detangle a skein of yarn since November and I finally gave in and bought a replacement.

guess what I've been detangling all day

driving myself insane on this fine Friday trying to make a PDF pass an accessibility check

a white box labeled "dedicated wall weight" leaning against a white wall behind a trash can and a recycling bin

got some new office furniture* to really spruce up the place

*a box of withdrawn books dedicated to leaning on the wall with enough weight to stop the rattling from the HVAC system

horrible news: the Santa Trump was patched and has risen once more. he is now joined by an inflatable eagle

i think someone did rip him and he no longer holds air 😅

the Santa Trump has been taken down! he is not risen after all!

video of a rat captioned "giant rats in tiny vests fight crime"

the video caption at the bottom of the article should be engraved on the statue's plinth

my neighbors have put up in their yard a He Is Risen inflatable, a God Bless America banner, and an inflatable Santa Trump holding a Merry Christmas scroll

at least it keeps the property taxes low

I'm also vaguely annoyed that they cast Ryan Gosling to play Grace. He does a great job, and I like his portrayal, but i think they picked someone far too conventionally attractive to be an embittered academic who only really talks to his middle school students

i have very few gripes about the Project Hail Mary adaptation, but the main one is all the silly stuff that Grace wears as he's familiarizing himself with the ship. like, they'd have to pack those stupid hats and rationalize the weight addition of each gram

a man wearing a hard hat and an orange jacket is on a bbc channel Alt: a man in hi-vis wearing a hard hat and putting on a second hard hat

as I often do

there is construction blocking all routes from my building to the building in which I teach this afternoon. i'm betting that if I don a hi-vis vest, I can get away with walking straight through it

A watercolor color image of a dark eyed junco in a huge pair of barrel legged jeans with a studded belt and chain. Text on an orange field reads "Dark Eyed JNCO"

an arm with a bandage wrap that is the same brown as the corduroy pants that the arm rests on

it's very kind of the infusion center to match my wrap to my pants

slide titled "ethical issues in AI in higher education" - plagiarism - cognitive decline and development (Kosmyna et al.) - undermining the very purpose of higher education
