Ok job 1/3 finished for the week (this is not counting my PhD as a job)

Vaguely considering teaching them to play Yahtzee or rummy at this point. Both a bit complex without being in the room though.

Looking for simple online (browser) multiplayer games that don’t involve signing in, are suitable for children, and let you have private rooms. Really bloody difficult!

I think so, and also people vaguely know who he is cos he hypes himself up I guess. Would be a disaster if he was in charge.

Since the hour went back I usually shut the cats out the bedroom if they start rumpusing for food before the alarm goes off. Feel very, very mean about it though.

Oh it has been since he was leader of the National Union of Students.

My understanding of it is that it’s used to suggest a more theory-led version of practice. It gets used a lot in education studies too.

I finished my marking but I was so tired I forgot to make any sort of celebratory post.

It is single figures outside! 9 degrees! I was really cold in bed last night.

Equally, I’m California Dreamin’ because it’s Forever Autumn.

(It literally has the lyric “no shirt no blouse”)

Which reminds me of my favourite bit of late-2020 discourse (There is nothing bisexual about the song Sweater Weather. It’s super heteronormative.)

It’s definitely autumn, chaps, I’m wearing a jumper.

🎶 Stalin with a nose ring I know, I know it's serious

Slight tangent but was once told of a mix up at a wedding. Someone requested ‘the Robin Hood song’, wanting Everything I do, I do it for you and instead walked in to ‘Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Riding through the glen’

Having a marking crisis, and Dan suggests I have a cup of Earl Grey (I am not a tea drinker on the whole). Well, what do you know, perked right up, almost started enjoying myself. Goddamnit.

Well, it's more Big Band, but y'know.

My school had a Big Band. Never realised that was quite niche until I left.

Listening to quite a lot of Cole Porter and George Gershwin this afternoon, but not on Spotify because I really don't want it to think I like jazz more generally.

Comment which reads "It's not a huge deal, but Karl Max would like you to proofread please!"

At this point in marking.

Absolutely this!

Oh and I need to do an RA task that I’d slightly forgotten about. And someone wants to meet up for a chat about something uni related. Help.

Basically, I’ve got a ton of marking to get through, my school TA job is back this week, I’ve got tutorials to plan, and my confirmation review is on Thursday. That is too many things.

Also, the whole point is, like intersectionality, that experiencing both together is not the same as experiencing each separately.

Yeah I don’t think autism is always the stronger force in AuDHD for sure!

Just got to get through one really overwhelming week, lads. I’ve got so much on this week and I am so stressed.

Ever blow-dried a labrador?

Wonderful! Who’d be a woman on the internet!

Currently advertising me a dating app for introverts. “Find someone who wants to read books with you!” Yeah I did that, it’s been 5 years. We just didn’t share that with Meta.

Being a mid-30s woman on Facebook and Instagram is fun. It basically goes in a cycle of:
- so you’re trying to conceive, right? Right??
- oh ok so you need IVF then? Or donor sperm??
- Wait, is it because you’re not married? Buy an engagement ring already!
- ok, you must be single. Have dating apps.
