i lost a whole hour today and you want me to “go to bed early” because there’s “work” “tomorrow”?????

I think it’s awesome when the Friday afternoon train home is delayed by 29 minutes. I think that simply rocks

going through it in such a way tonight that i've found myself with four or five open reddit tabs and also the wikipedia page for "saturn return." girl.

I put the fun in Eustachian tube dysfunction

I’ve been so brave about it but I got off a plane 3 days ago and my ears didn’t fully pop until I blew my nose just now

it’s 7am and I’m pretzel-less at the airport and I’m so mad I’m considering making a Reddit post. that’s what this city has reduced me to

2026 and there’s still no place to get a soft pretzel at the Philadelphia airport. folks what are we even doing here

yes indeed however in order to experience this I have to get on a plane and I am not looking forward to that part AT ALL. so you should feel sorry for me actually

it has been such a long winter

It’s going to be 68° when the San Francisco book fair opens on Friday and I fear I am not going to know how to behave

trying to work from home properly for the first time in years and this sucks lol. I’m so bored I’m literally watching water boil rn

When snow is falling, you can Eat Something Stupid

local grocery store already running sales on passover candy but there are six more weeks until any of us need to worry about this one????

Isaiah Zagar, legendary South Philly mosaicist, has died at 86 His glittering glass art on 50,000 square feet of walls and buildings across city has defined the spirit of Philadelphia.

oh no

It’s Ash Wednesday so my mother is making me meet her at a wine bar after work so we can read TS Eliot’s “Ash Wednesday” together. I love her so much. We’re not even Christian

somehow a pair of wide leg jeans happened to me when I was shopping over the weekend, so I’m wearing them now, and this is the first time I’ve owned wide leg anything since I was a literal child, and I have to say, these are clown pants?

I feel for this person, and also cannot imagine a worse part of the city for trying to be monogamous in

something something clarity of thought -> clarity of expression. but also: beauty of thought? beauty of expression!

Finance guy’s guest op-ed in the local gazette: We don’t need libraries, we have Amazon

anyone with a pulse: LIBRARIES ARE FREE YOU DORK

me, cataloger: Amazon’s uncontrolled keyword search interface is HORRIBLE at supporting the core user tasks of Finding, Identifying, and Selecting 📚

microwaveable chicken pot pie from the freezer section is truly one of humanity’s greatest inventions that nevertheless could probably still be improved. and yet instead of devoting societal resources to that we have genAI. curious

multiple Sunday afternoons in a row where nothing has gone right, and I don’t even have tomorrow off as recompense. beginning to think the lord hates me

I love telling people who worry about their children’s picky eating or junk food consumption that I had a soft pretzel for breakfast every day for the first five years of my life and then show them my resume. Shuts them up real fast

what on earth can one wear to morning minyan that takes into account both the -10°F wind chill and the need to wrap tefillin once i get there? you have six minutes to answer before I need to leave the house btw

Idk I think the new humanities library looks an awful lot like the Weston since the refurb, and infinitely better than the english faculty library in the st cross building it is replacing. seems pretty consistent in aesthetics across the Weston and the Schwarzman tbh

one good thing about having been the kind of overly chill grad student who was constantly at home at 10:30am on a Tuesday making omelettes instead of hunkering down in the library is that I still make a really good omelette. and a decent potato hash as well

minor point of order since it keeps coming up, it's "Woke 2" and not "Woke 2.0". we're leaving tech industry bullshit behind too

I am also extremely fun at parties so I can’t wait for it to not be quite so cold so I can walk around my neighborhood looking for USPS date stamps!!!!!

figured out last night that the reason my forehead has breaking out like crazy the past month is because I’ve been wearing hats, so I simply resolved to not do that anymore. however this morning’s “feels like” temperature of 15°F is already troubling this approach
