tonight's my first class after like 5 years of not adjuncting in person and I have to remember that undergrads are like spiders: more afraid of me than I am of them

In my metabolic rift era

Ramsey just said "oh my god" in a very shocked voice while in the bathroom and I was worried like he had found a cancer lump or lost a tooth or something weird and bad but when he came out of the bathroom he said he just found out there's a new season of Big Top Burger

also: I will probably end sales on the quarterly plotter postcards I'm doing this year soon, it's just easier to plan with a fixed edition size. get em while the getting is good: https://wares.lifewinning.com/products/2024-plotter-postcard-quarterly

I added two new plotter editions to my online store, one that's pricey and one that's pretty cheap: https://wares.lifewinning.com/products/a3-bingham-canyon-01-plotter-drawing and https://wares.lifewinning.com/products/kachin-a3-plotter-drawing

lining up guest speakers for classes I teach is so much fun because I get to remember how many cool people I am lucky to know

spent most of today doing tedious organizing of my class syllabus in Microsoft Teams for Education, which is somehow more annoying than Canvas? Yikes

A movie of The Mushroom at the End of The World but it's a globetrotting action movie starring Jason Statham as The Mushroom Hunter

Do we think Puss in Boots from Shrek would have fought with the Spanish anarchists or no

Jesus Christ I get it mastodon, Murderbot doesn't do gender and I'm a bad audiobook listener please get over yourselves

I think it might just be because of Kevin Free reading the audiobook but I really did not picture Murderbot as white? Hence the following picks:

- Idris Elba (if we insist on making Murderbot jacked which, not sure it's necessary)
- Honestly, jacked Kumail Nanjani could maybe pull it off, again assuming we need Murderbot to be jacked
- Justice Smith (so good at deeply awkward)
- Jeffrey Wright (see also: Westworld)

it's not even that I think a) arts orgs are some kind of tipping point that will change the trajectory or b) I even believe that this org has a ton to offer but they've been fundraising using POC and specifically Arab Muslim (and an antizionist Israeli who has been putting himself on the line a lot!) alums as evidence of their social justice bona fides and it just feels really gross! and I was mad!
