Turned in really huge administrative thing due today. #AmWorking
Maybe I should get the egg sokoban to celebrate, if it is really as good as people say!
Thank you! I wonder if I should post more of my #AmWorking gripes...
Been answering questions from fellow writers, this is the latest. I recommend giving it a read. More of my writing and politics is finding a home on Substack. I've been releasing some essays and pieces from my upcoming book Because I Bore Witness. #indie #writing #politics #culture #amworking
I'm grading and Canvas gave me "Sorry, something broke" in huge red boldface type. Never seen this particular error before... I think even Canvas is becoming upset 😮

After having to read some Discourse on why "foreign" words should always be italicized (I thought that battle had been already fought a decade ago, why are we going backwards??)
I am now italicizing English words with abandon. (in an English text)
There you have it!! 🫠

My personal inbox has messages up to four or five months overdue for response.
And I owe at least six people in my personal life voice messages.
Boy howdy, when the last critical deliverable is launched for my job, I cannot WAIT to get back to the rest of my life.
What a year, eh?

A screenshot of a photo opened in photo editing sofware. The photo is zoomed into a corner of a wig head wearing a black bob. Half of the stray hairs have been photoshopped away on the left side of the photo
Working on my website!! Today, I am editing photos, i.e., eliminating all these stray hairs everywhere

Big businesses: "We do n% of our code with AI now"
Me: BUT IT DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE! YOU BROKE IT! YOU COMPLETELY RUINED IT!
Had this TWICE today with two different kinds of big business software product and I am ready to throw things.
I'm doing edits on something with Google Docs (I haven't done this in a while) and the way track changes works now has some truly antipatterns stuff. If I accept ONE change, it prompts me to accept them ALL, and it does this repeatedly.
Why is this a thing. #AmWorking
#AmWorking on something about a novel from the 1930s which I've seen multiple scholars describe as a pro-eugenics book.
Reader, this book includes a multi-chapter SATIRE of eugenics
I hope people won't do this about my books when I'm no longer around, lol sob.

I am caught up on ALLllll the grading, but I am not caught up on student emails... #AmWorking
Major deadline finished before Rosh Hashanah (B"H), now I just need to finish..... everything else :O #AmWorking
Sorry no book reviews tonight! (I did read interesting things over Shabbat, but they will have to keep for later)
What are your favorite academic Jewish Studies journals?
I thought I had a very clear idea where to send something, but that journal recently posted something baffling to say the least, and now they also promote AI.

#AmWorking If you like to take notes with Obsidian, they just pushed a new update with more databasing features.
Need to try it, but this seems like great news, just running Obsidian instead of Obsidian + LibreOffice Base for my very quick personal list stuff would be handy.

Making presentation slides about the intersex ownvoices book database while trying to deal with my intersex-related health problems and please imagine a cartoon me lying on the floor!
(This will be for SFRA 2025 online)
I think the slides are mostly done now, but owwww. #AmWorking
I'm up and dressed, the cats are fed, I have caffeine... and ready to get to work on Night Shift, my paranormal vampire romance, book #9 in The Magic of Wishes & Dreams. I'm currently at 72,335 words... let me see what I can do! My target is to hit 75,000 words today, for 75% finished!

#AmWorking Closed the grades for the summer semester. Phew. Students did well! LLM use was also much less of a problem than in the previous semester (B"H).
Now I am playing Gentoo Rescue a little bit before sleep, and this looks set to be amazingly cursed.
A large painted mug is being held up against a white wall. It has an orange handle that has a black rose painted on it and the top is lined in blue. The body of the mug has the black silhouette of a cat against a blue background; the black silhouette of a corvid against a grey background; and the black silhouette of a dragon against a purple background. Just off to the side is the black silhouette of a fox tail against an orange background.
A cream colored mug is being held up against a white wall. It is a small stacking coffee mug with a smaller bottom. The handle is attached to the larger top band, which has a blue fabric-like trim on it. The trim designs are florals painted in the same cream color as the rest of the mug.
This is a white mug held up against a white wall. The mug has a light blue gradient going down from the top to the white bottom. In the middle is a yellow sun with sharp rays; above it are two faces in green circles. The left face is of a smiling black man with short dark hair; the right face is of a neutral Palestinian-Polish man with short dark hair. The middle of the mug says, "Troy & Abed In The Morning" in cheerful black and red serif font.
Catching up on my mug + beverage combos
Painted mug: milk with Russian Caravan loose leaf from a local shop
Blue band mug: same; it's leftovers from the big mug
Troy & Abed mug: white Gatorade

I'm currently working on several projects. At night, it's usually when I'm working, and decided to collect a bunch of the artists I've been listening to recently while working.

I posted this. If you read the description, you'll get how I got into the indie industry. #booksky #indie #writing #amwriting #amworking
The secret to grading is that after every assignment I give myself a shark or a sea otter from my new Stickii sticker sheet. #AmWorking
Time for auditing! Nothing gets my juices going on a Monday morning like pivot tables and perusing data with a fine-tooth comb. #HappyPlace #amworking #amdrinkingcoffee
Turned in another thing that was due. I am not through my backlog yet (the previous semester was dire), but catching up. #AmWorking
Trying really hard to adapt this paper I had to pull (because the editors wanted me to axe my co-author's contributions) into something that will fit a new proposal, but the words just are not coming today. But at least I #amworking until physical therapy this afternoon.
#AmWorking Trying to close and upload final grades. Sorry I have been so away. This semester was a lot
Ya know, the more I refresh my historical education the more I'm seeing the parallels between racism, MAGA, and British Loyalists. Maybe I'm not alone in this, but it's really interesting. I've been working on some more things. I work in batches. Then post in batches. #history #racism #amworking
