Update: landed, phew

Well one bright spot today is I ran into a neighborhood Cane Corso named Thelma and she gave me a big lean and a jump

partner is on a cross country flight to CA today, probably gonna be a little on edge until he lands given Everything

Went on a tangent about minerals in class and a student said "the professor yearns for the mines"

hitting a weird edge case in outlook for web where if I try to start a new email the page reloads—cache clearing doesn't work, logging out and back in doesn't work, restarting browser doesn't work. forums suggest this is an ongoing thing since earlier this month. i only use outlook for my adjunct job at a school that's all in on microsoft. deeply annoyed!!

Update: it appears he has been adopted which is probably for the best, glad someone has taken that sweet guy in

@philnelson Phil it haunts me

Mitch from Dazed and Confused: shoulder length hair, innocent
Ziggy Sobotka from The Wire season 2: mostly in "overdue for a haircut" territory, more pitiful than villain but still kinda sucks
That guy in the Arkangel episode of Black Mirror: basically bottom of the neck, absolutely a predator

Further research is needed

Developing a theory of the Skinny Rat Boy archetype in which there is a precise length of too-long stringy hair that shifts the character from piteous but maybe hot?? to Villainy

Went to the cfpb "informational picket" this afternoon and the chants were so wholesome ("1 2 3 4 workers are worth fighting for 5 6 7 8 Dodd Frank is pretty great")
