one reason I am pretty sure the tenure track job path is not for me is that I have post-it notes above my desk with definitions for "epistemology" and "ontology" that I have to look at literally every time I run into those words

Kitty just had a little waffle and wonders if maybe she could also have my waffle

I kind of love that Rob Thomas personally annotated the lyrics to "Push" on Genius, what a dork

When I was a teenager I did weird video art summer camp where we watched experimental films all day, no ambition just vibes

Absolutely terrified by the notion of a teenager with enough conviction to say "yes, I will do investigative journalism summer camp at the snootiest newspaper in the land"
