Alexander Danner @alexanderdanner.bsky.social · 28/09/2026So in a radical career pivot, after not being invited back to teach this semester, I have taken up events bartending. It's been a little over a week now, but so far...I kinda really like it? It's so refreshing to have a job that I leave and go home, and don't have to keep doing! 190

Alexander Danner @alexanderdanner.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Same, at the peak of my webcomics days, I had separate bookmarks folders for daily, weekly, and monthly comics, and would start my day by opening one of the folders and clicking "Open all bookmarks." A lot of comics really tailored their sites to support their comic, so there was cohesiveness. 120

Your opinion on the cookies is irrelevant, their purpose is to fund scouting. Which is good! But if every cent funded hate groups, it'd be bad, even if the cookies were yummy as hell 8382109
Alexander Danner @alexanderdanner.bsky.social · 31/08/2026So, with the new semester about to start, Emerson still hasn't told me whether or not I have a job this semester. I'm going to go ahead and assume I don't. And even if they asked me this late, I'd decline. My teaching career has come to an end. I'm okay with this. I saw it coming from last semster. 160
