A gentle correction for those of us with major depression or chronic illness:

if all you can do in a day is one of these things, you’re still doing great, and your life is 100% valuable! 💜💜💜💜💜

I had a dream that someone from academic Twitter accidentally started a rumor that I’m dead, and a podcaster emailed me to say that person had discovered their error and made a public apology on the podcast. 😧

Spring Break is off to a great start. Had lunch with Dr. Delarocker at my favorite vegan place in Boston, then went to the Chinatown BPL branch to do some editing for a freelance gig. 14/10 stars, highly recommend meeting your internet/academic friends in person! #whatprofessorswear

Owner: Um, so about the house…

Chris: Oh?

O: Yeah, um, like, the one bedroom has a lot of, um, bodily fluid stains…

C: Ah, well, my daughter Regan was a bit under the weather…

O: Ah. And, um, the police called? To say that 2 men…2 PRIESTS died in the house?

C: No, 1 died on the steps outside…

I feel like we don’t spend enough time talking about the fact that The Exorcist took place in a RENTED house. Like, imagine explaining all that to the owners????

I spent like 3 hours tonight reworking my CV and resume, then applying for jobs. I'm lucky enough to have a stable full-time job (plus a stable part-time job), but I would love a big change. Keep your fingers crossed for me in this terrible, terrible job market, please!

Chotiner: You've made the claim that no one has ever fed you in your life.
My Cat: Maow.
Chotiner: Yet there's food in your dish right now.
My Cat: Maow.
Chotiner: Let's change the subject to the ripped-open bag of sandwich bread on the floor.
My Cat: Maow.
Chotiner: I have read different things.

I did not scream, throw things, or quit my job today, despite really really really wanting to do all of that.

Please clap.

I would simply get 100000000 emails per day asking for grade updates. (I already get 10000 emails per day asking for clarification on grades.)

We literally have to use the LMS for early alert and academic coaching purposes. Also I will not be doing math.
