what are we using for managing domain names these days, reaching my breaking point w gandi

Chancery Court sounds like a Victorian heroine, perhaps a lady detective

Update: successful nap but still a little too groggy to do stuff today

Slept badly but still got up at 6 to take the Amtrak to Delaware this morning, only to get a message from my advisor once I arrived at Penn Station that she's cancelling seminar today on account of a fever. I cancelled the train tickets for a cash refund and went home. Now in that hazy state of too much caffeine for a nap but too tired to be functional

tiny lady actors with extraordinary vocal ranges remind me of chihuahas a little, the lung power is a defense against being small in a huge world

I had to break the news of Kitty's death to a guy who knew her from the dog park today, hadn't seen him in a while, and it's sort of left me intermittently weepy all day

This is a picture of her from two years ago today, I miss her so much

submitted an application to yet another sorta-longshot teaching job, please clap

"Diego Luna is the handsomest Star Wars Guy and it's not even close" is a fun way to start a fight during the holidays

ways Rogue One is a Thanksgiving movie:
- complicated family trauma with Jyn's dad working for the Empire
- found family helps misfits find purpose
- that moment when Cassian says "welcome home" to Jyn??
- movie inevitably leads to arguments about data storage formats (classic Thanksgiving fare)
- that one problematic mocap relative (dead Peter Cushing)
- Alan Tudyk

time to watch the most Thanksgiving movie of all, Rogue One A Star Wars Story (2016)

My boldest take is that America doesn't actually have a "left" in any cohesive politically organized sense and it's weird to complain about "the left" or "leftists" as a single group

What most people call "the left" in media and analysis is either progressive Democrats (who are a minority within their own party) or People on Social Media Who Disagree With Them (hold leftist values/have leftist praxis but don't actually constitute a mass political party or organizing force)

turning a leftover sandwich's fillings into an omelette is such a game changer

Fellas, you ever get overwhelmed by all the multi scalar theorizing and pondering of that which could be otherwise
