my advisor's main concern is that my memo is too comprehensive and my committee won't be able to come up with questions for me

this is not helping with my assessment that this shit is hazing pure and simple

my mom said "I'm 69" on the phone and I didn't immediately say "nice", maybe I'm not a born poster after all

I was a frankly pretty tough reviewer 1 on a paper a few months ago and the authors did a substantial revision that responded to most of my concerns!! Feelin like a real contributor to the project of scholarship lol

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 like no-zilla as in no thanks mozilla

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
