https://youtu.be/NUrz5s-7Tdc?si=rM3YKqpwUf-VxbzC it is a minor thing but: SNL cast one of my favorite gen z TikTok comedians this season and she got to do a bit last night and I feel like a proud parent for no good reason

https://www.usip.org/grants-fellowships/fellowships/peace-scholar-fellowship-program this is the program BTW, it's funded by the DoD's Minerva Research Initiative https://minerva.defense.gov/

Chair of my department sent out info on a "peace studies" fellowship for PhD candidates funded by the DoD, anyway satire is dead

God being broke is so embarrassing when the world's already falling apart

I would like to do some fundraising for Helene mutual aid and Gaza and Lebanon via drawings soon but unfortunately have to get out of the negative bank balance first

added a new plotter drawing to my shoppy shop today: https://wares.lifewinning.com/products/moab-plotter also am currently in a pretty bad place cash-flow wise so if you have been thinking you'd like some plotter art now's a good time to buy

https://buttondown.com/perfectsentences/archive/perfect-sentences-93/ this week in sentences: except everything, building rn, burgers, theorists of all persuasions, putrescence, flicker

mozilla and wordpress going full heel turn feels like a real "always has been" moment for the death of the web 2.0 dream

more spicy field statement takes

had a real awkward interaction with my neighbor when he asked how Ramsey and I are doing in a totally normal "how's it going neighbor" kind of way and I assumed he meant it in a "because Ramsey's entire immediate family is in Beirut" way, he was nice about it at least

the anthropocene is a very useful concept i just think it's funny how academics lose their minds at "fun new word just dropped"

field statements for quals getting spicy

submitted a job application please clap

That being said I love when Mari is in town because in her absence I wonder if I made her up, last night she regaled us with the story of how she was in a tertiary way involved in stopping a recent coup attempt in DRC and that her project making apps for snails is over bc the snails all died

Last night a friend visiting from out of town casually mentioned some mutual friends had told her they were concerned that I've been isolating and that I'm not okay

And I mean, obviously, but it kind of stinks to learn that everyone can see
