I think the lateness with which my Amazon Fresh order is going to be delivered (current estimate: 11:30) should be a staunch reminder to me to never order from them again (I've only ordered once before, & that was bc they had the plant-based roast I wanted to bring to community Thanksgiving).
I realize that I have been amiss by not mentioning the glory that was Lou Ferrigno Jr as Park the Shark on this week's The Pitt. That's my man who should be back on 911! But seriously if this brings him bigger roles that would be awesome, bc he is awesome. #parktheshark #thepitt #911abc
Straight of Hormuz, with Buddha imposed, text: The realization that the lack of oil isn't causing your suffering, but the desire for oil itself, on your path to enlightenment.
Possible solution to the Strait of Hormuz?
I was going to say I’m sending this to all my qual researcher friends. But screw that. I’m sending it to all my quant researcher friends. They’re the ones that need to hear this.
Happy 11th of March!
This post brought to you by a tumblr post that had me seeing red.
Also, I'll be subbing for someone Tu/Th morning & I'm worried about the person & also resentful of having to get up super early 2 more days this week.
And I didn't get much done today. So. Grumpy.
I do not appreciate having it implied that because I want to reduce healthcare waste, including single-use plastics, that means I'm some sort of eugenecist. Me wanting to get rid of blue wrap does not mean people aren't allowed plastic straws if they need them. Argh.
My two hour faculty meeting only lasted two hours! Instead of more than three like the last couple of meetings!
So much to do in the next few weeks, even though spring break is approaching! Meetings and committees and more meetings and phone calls and grading and more! At least I got caught up on some stuff (and some new stuff) this afternoon! There's a faculty town hall at 4:30 I want to go to too!
Nothing like falling back asleep after the alarm.
Overslept big time, only a couple students showed up, I am teaching while uncaffeinated, argh. I don’t even have my water, much less my tea.
Conferences like TRACS are both sustaining and exhausting. Home now; have 8 am class tomorrow argh.
I gave up and came home. I am just not very tolerant of the heat, which is a problem when you live in Texas!
Also it is PACKED here.
I should walk some of the trails but I am hot and sweaty even sitting in the shade.
I’m at the Wildflower Center trying to decide if I have it in me to stay another hour when the lecture starts. If I’d known it wasn’t going to start until 2, I would’ve stayed home longer.
If trans people want/need to leave, that is worthy. It’s also worthy to stay and fight, or to need to stay and still need rights. Queer folks in red states need and deserve our support at least as much as the work being done from “safer” states
In cold weather, you may worry about the cats you see around your neighborhood.
If you've got time to help, the kitties will thank you! Follow our tips to help your local outdoor cats during the cold months: www.humaneworld.org/en/resources...
But what I really hate is pineapple
I like honeydew but not blueberries!
Next week is CRAZY. I have a ton of meetings, a dosage workshop, a Saturday open house, and then starting the TRACS Conference on Sunday. In other words, not just extra meetings but no weekend. I'm already dreading it.
*hugs*
I continue to struggle with the beginning of my BuckTommy Bang fic. It has a beginning! I just don't know if it's the *right* beginning, or if it's just self-indulgence. Send help.
Also, the cats don't want me to do any chores. I am being held cat-tive, as my friend Sep says.
It's kind of insane: the obvious lane open today in US politics is fiery left populism that vows to restrain & discipline the Epstein class ... but our only left party is run by that same class & its quisling pundits! Something is gonna break.
Had lunch with a friend, then went to affinity group meeting for LGBTQIA+ folks from AASHE, and now I'm super sleepy, but I've got a (virtual) meeting with a student in 15 minutes I need to be awake for!
I’m so sorry for your loss. *hugs*
TEXAS friends, heads-up!
I don't NEED another cup of tea. But I WANT one. And I have the kettle in my office and the fridge holding my soy milk, so it would be easy to do. I'd just have to get up and go to the kitchen to fill the kettle.
But I don't NEED another cup of tea.
Such a dilemma.
Went to a candidate forum for county commissioner for precinct 4 this afternoon. It was good! I definitely know who I want to vote for in the primary now.
