just got mom home from the hospital, now the part where I try to maintain calm while being hella triggered by having to parent my parent like I'm 16 years old again!!

went to yoga at 6:15 IN THE MORNING, feeling like a real sicko

surgeon just called to let me know that she's out and everything went fine! she's staying overnight and then I'll be taking her home tomorrow

asking grad students to contribute money to a fund that helps pay for undergrad internship stipends when my cohort includes new parents trying to make a $35K stipend work is a bold fucking move is all I am saying

my university has a "day of giving" (ie fundraising for the school) today and it''s very weird to be getting emails about how every bit helps while texting with a fellow grad student who has been waiting almost eight months for reimbursements from travel for grant-supported research

I don't understand whether the implication is Fox fired him for being racist and saying "white people fight honorably" etc or because he expressed an iota of sympathy for someone allegedly associated with antifa, can someone please clarify

@Wolven @misc I thought that was Trololo

@Wolven incredible namespace collision

@Wolven oh ok I thought Fredo was the one who had to destroy the ring this makes more sense

@Wolven I've never actually seen The Godfather

the patient's procedure is still in progress 🤗

a "Godfather of AI" implies a Fredo of AI

the hospital is sending me very dry automated text message updates—"the patient's procedure has begun", "the patient is doing well". Imagining someone trying to program this to be "nicer", eg "the patient is doing well!!" plus some emojis

taking my mom to her big spinal surgery this morning, please send good vibes

@kit I am currently entirely bailing on this part of my graduate school experience because my family can't make it and I feel bad making anyone go to Delaware

@markllobrera the second one is a prequel!

@markllobrera yeah I know how I'm passing the time during my mom's recovery from spinal surgery now lol

this extremely stupid little joke had me thinking about how good the infernal affairs movies were and I happened to be browsing criterion and they're all there!! amazing!!

just renewed grimoire.computer which I still think was a pretty cool project and will always be glad it introduced me to @Mer__edith
