good to remember that The Hold Steady still absolutely rules

current with-footnote count is 23,624 words. I need to write a conclusion (always my weak point lol) but I think it's close? gonna start revising the (mostly garbage) introduction tonight because I know it needs a lot of work and I think that will make writing a conclusion a bit clearer.

@meetar Peter it's probably too big for me but I bet it'll fit you

Amazing how much writing I can get done when I simply don't do the dishes

it's a-me, the Neoliberal University

@v OMG incredible!! thank you for always being on the lookout

"delete your account a hero or post long enough to become a villain"

"just doing some scholarly knowledge production" I think to myself as I pull up the Wikipedia entry for Carmen Sandiego to help me remember the word I'm looking for ("portmanteau")

yesterday I told a stranger about my research and they thought it was cool and wow I really needed that validation!!

listening to Wizard of Earthsea as I type an entire section of a French article on mining in World War II into DeepL because every time I try to OCR it for translation I get gobbledygook, this is fine

@jesse I could maybe ILL it, but the turnaround time will probably be slow relative to when I have to turn this thesis in (8 days from now lol)

@jesse unfortunately no!

there's an out of print book about an obscure company relevant to my thesis that cost $108 and I am so annoyed

OMG WIlliam Gibson's sobriety date is MY BIRTHDAY wow
