@channing very good thank you!!

"Sage grouse" is such a good name for a bird and also how I imagine being described by others, wise but also complaining pettily now and then

Never understand the news headline structure of "X is quietly doing Y", I mean they're not doing it quietly anymore if you're posting about it like that

@phooky it's all about assembling the crew

I think encouraging more museum heists would solve the male loneliness crisis

@mhedney haha to be fair I did not run this by my advisor who may be expecting something longer, we'll see

Conclusion submitted!! It is very short (3975 words) because I am running out of brain cells and also one of my committee members said that 3-5K was totally fine

Still waiting on comments from my advisor on the introduction but like...almost all of the pieces exist in some form, ahhhhh!!

We are dogsitting for the week and overhearing Ramsey talking to the dog reminds me how much I miss having one

@thedansimonson no idea! What did yours look like?

Guy at the corner store said he sold out of the "Red Apple" NY Post in an hour, people are obsessed

the author could sign the newsletter "xy xy geo gossip girl"

https://buttondown.com/perfectsentences/archive/perfect-sentences-149/ this week in sentences: rings, fossilized, violin, devout, by means of, metaverse, Mr. Bean, but/and, money hole, raccoons, penguins, sieve, more or less, bacteria, expertly, amoeba

I've been struggling with the conclusion partly bc I'm worried my advisor is going to veto my dead white guy pick for a theory grounding (Polanyi, with some assists from the very much alive Keller Easterling and Anna Tsing) which is maybe paranoid of me but we'll get there

I haven't been very good at keeping track of word counts the last week and change but I am currently working on the conclusion and appendix, waiting for feedback on the introduction!!

intro + chapters word count is 54,399 so I should be in the 60-65K zone for the whole text.
