sent an email to my 10th grade social studies teacher today thanking him for making us watch Manufacturing Consent and read Arendt and unfortunately preparing me to understand the last few decades, because I thought it might be a nice thing to tell him on a shitty day

(I did not tell him that I was thinking of pivoting to becoming a high school social studies teacher)

Holy shit I miss my dog right now

mostly having 2004 deja vu tbh

- I guess I'm definitely volunteering for my Muslim city councilwoman's re-election campaign (she's facing a zionist primary challenger)

I knew Nabiha would be bad news for the org but damn

Passed my quals, I am the riddle master now

putting together a little guest geospatial data tutorial for a friend where i'm going to do an intro to mapshaper and once again blown away by how good mapshaper is

Saw someone reading Chappell Roan's new song on SNL as a stealthy Kamala endorsement ("she gets the job done" chorus) and I don't totally know how anyone could hear that song as being about anything other than the fact lesbians are better at fucking, ie the premise of most Chappell Roan songs

I still think doing my quals oral exam tomorrow morning was the right call over waiting until after the election is called but man, what weird vibes

Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat was extraordinary!! Highly recommend. It's at Film Forum if you're in NYC https://my.filmforum.org/events/soundtrack-to-a-coup

the Wicked movie looks great and I am excited to watch it

you gotta understand I am a former theater kid who grew up reading the super fucked up b-side Oz books that my dad had when he was a kid

also the novel the musical is based on!! is fun!! i will enjoy a lil spectacle as a treat sorry

like the audience for this will probably be ux designers or something and i just don't have it in me to tell them to like use standard fonts and make less js-heavy websites to do their part

working on a "internet infrastructure, what is it" talk for the first time in a while and really tempted to just turn it into a call for butlerian jihad

An eight foot tall skeleton tipping his top hat and belting out "laws are vibes", hello-my-ragtime-gal style

People keep asking me about my "The Future is TK" sweatshirt and it's always sort of awkward explaining a dumb media joke so from now on I'm just going to say it's short for Ted Kaczynski
