Turned in the midterm essay. I just need a C. And I dunno, a rational administration in DC? Senate leadership with spines? (Mine are actually OK, at least)

I've never felt more urban, but I do like to think about forests. <3
LOL mine is in DC so... I believe he copes with carefully chosen news sources, no social media, and lots of time outside, but that was before this Iran war, so seeing him today should be fun.
Deluge, lighting and thunder on 33rd at Union Memorial. Smells pretty good but it is rumbling and menacing.
My wife is conducting research for a workshop about those of you who like to thrift/shop for vintage clothing. She needs to get 100 people in her dataset, and I would appreciate it if you would take 5 minutes to fill our her survey! Pass it on to your friends who love vintage!

Not in terms of content or credits. I’m using tuition remission so I’ve asked f there are any financial repercussions. Hope to know by Tuesday. If it’s possible to drop, then as soon as I fulfill my obligation to run Thursday’s session I’m withdrawing. I’m willing to pay back some money to get out.
Earlier today, I clarified one campus's tuition mix-up (still have to fix the parking ticket) and inquired about a possibly complicated tuition remission/refund situation.
Have I scheduled car maintenance? No.
But I did laundry and dishes, so, you know.
A ROLL.
Hello, I have dared to ask a clarifying question about an essay assignment in the class I like (and am intimidated by).
I am on an executive function ROLL.
Please clap.
But oh how I dislike the class and feel like I’m not learning!
My plan was fulfill obligation and bail. But I was so unhappy with this class that I am inclined to simply bail. I can take 3 credits some other time. I am also fighting a slide into depression. Dropping would give me more time for things I like. Oh, the guilt.
I’m in a class that’s disorganized and in which expectations are unclear. We developed the syllabus with the professor but she’s been passive aggressive about readings and activities. Tonight was a dog’s dinner of a debate. I’m supposed to run next week, but I really want to withdraw now.
Okay it just took a while but I heard and my proposal was accepted, so yay! It’s yay until I start writing but I don’t present until November. Lots of time to agonize.
Honestly expecting Zoom class on Monday …. Again…
The ice has really hampered things. The city had to send dump trucks and front loaders out to clear downtown intersections, but it is really a mess. Side streets are laughably bad. How did we get used to this in New England??
It’s a summer event, but every June RI burns a replica of the Gaspee… and some years it’s truly a cardboard cut out. I am SO GLAD my new home has a cardboard event in its reenactment canon.
Why do people make homes look like commercial spaces? So curious. So ugly. Would a cat chew on the bathroom wall? We’d wreck that interior in three days.
They were fascists then, they’re fascists now.
Yeeeepppp
I’ll be patient. It’s been a winter for everyone.
Many lived in Cranston, in what is now Eden Park, but was Sweden Park. I don’t remember all of the specifics (it’s been almost a decade since I was there) but they do seem to have faded away. There’s a very small population left— but a Swedish weaving place in SE Mass and some in coastal CT.
LOLOLOL the Swedes were well known labor organizers in the ports of Providence and Baltimore (and western NYS factories) and probably plenty of places I haven’t studied or worked in. Delicious.
Fam, is it normal to be ghosted by conference organizers if the proposal you submitted is NOT accepted? I've seen two different statements about notifications (accepted will know by 1/15; decisions in January 2026).
Did I get ghosted?
I find it kind of ... rude if that's how it works now.
The cat gets to hide under the sofa sometimes and honestly, why can’t I have a little break like that?
I am dragging my anchor— how about you?
A tall pile of snow blocks a zebra crosswalk and one traffic lane in Baltimore. In the background, a pedestrian walks in front of a brick rowhouse.
No crosswalk. One lane blocked. There are already frequent accidents at 33rd & Guilford. But I guess it’s better than the 10 foot piles downtown? As a pedestrian & bus rider, this is dangerous— and I’m pretty sturdy. A lot of bus riders/peds aren’t. Why is the priority cars and not people?
Today’s bus assessment: “I’m cooler than a polar bear floatin’ on an iceberg.”
They’re closed. Email + socials announcement. Their servers have been messed up for days.
A screen cap of two Bluesky posts : The top post reads: All in a year’s work. RFK Jr.’s relentless assault on vaccines has been wildly successful for the anti-vaccine agenda and detrimental to us all. A rundown of what he has managed to accomplish I such a short time should terrify everyone. A thread. The second post, from Moby Dick, reads: Delicious death. Which of course RFK Jr’s policies will cause.
