2026 update: I bought a 10 foot long phone charging cable and it is a major quality-of-life improvement.

My response to anything over the next two weeks

i owe everyone an email but you can't respond to emails and grade final papers on the same day, everyone knows that

absolutely lost my mind when All The Things She Said started playing #iykyk

Do you think Peacock will ever start working?

oh, also I really liked Kyoto, myself.

lil theatre roundup:

- operation mincemeat is still my favorite
- death becomes her is hilarious and megan hilty is a gem
- jack wolfe in hadestown is must see
- liberation is fabulous and worth a watch
- 2 strangers carry a cake across NY is so fun! particularly act I

i finished the Three Body Problem trilogy last night and..............................absolutely what the fuck

like...from Arthur?

you perhaps overestimate how much hijinksing I have done in my life. i'm more of an imp than a hijinkser

also this is a great name for a talk

Haesol & I were in grad school & post-docced together - she is super!!

CONCRETE JUNGLE WHERE DREAMS ARE MADE OF

the new Florence + The Machine has some real standouts!

in research methods classes Ss are doing field note observation practice this week and one observed a second grade class using Class Dojo and....omg, this technology is horrible. i am so glad we did not have this when I was 7!! These poor kids!!!!

listen to the pod every week, but read this and finally took the plunge and subscribed, and you can too! love these folks's viewpoints and transparency.

what a weird name choice

really recommend! great songs with a real variety, engrossing plot, really funny and also quite moving, and some classic theatre magic in terms of characters, props, costumes - I've been wanting to go again but have lost the lottery basically every single day in May lol

loved it. have you seen Operation Mincemeat yet? That was my favorite show of this past season!

in TV, I am watching Severance S2. (just finished episode 4) I am sorry to say that even as I am entranced, I am a little bored? Something about the pacing is off to me. I think I felt this way in the first season also.

I also had a rewatch of Girls5Eva, which is really very fun in hindsight.
