Fashion on the Chicago-NYC flight very different than on the Sioux Falls-Chicago flight.

There is. A self-propelled robot wheelchair (???) in the airport that just rolled by???

"Dunkin is selling werewolf potions at the airport" sounds like the premise of a romantasy novel but is basically accurate.

Flight got in FORTY-TWO MINUTES EARLY???? Though we're sitting on the tarmac because the gate isn't open yet.

man, I am an extremely experienced traveler, and yet somehow I panic every time. (I'm fine at the actual airport.)

reminding myself while haphazardly packing that money can be exchanged for goods and services if necessary and the city of New York has such archaic things as "stores." (I am good at packing! I think I'm just thrown right now due to The Stupid Injury. my groove!!!!)

This ancient Greek figure from the 2,500 year-old Douris Cup looks uncannily like someone working on a laptop! 😲 💻 He’s actually writing with a stylus on a hinged wax writing tablet! The technology has changed, the posture has not! 😂 Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me

I'm going to be honest, I did not actually know that that was a premise that would make me chew glass. like there are parts of this that definitely hit on specific things for me (identity issues, fathers and children), but "died and came back wrong" has never actually been one of them for me.

you would not believe how much they're targeting the VisionQuest trailers at me specifically. what if you DIED and you CAME BACK WRONG and your life was not your life and your memories were not your memories and your family was not your family! and yet. and yet. www.youtube.com/shorts/5Uk2N...

AS I HAVE TOLD YOU BEFORE, mister dracula, face ID isn’t going to work for you, you are going to need to memorize a passcode. do you need me to help you set it up again? no, i definitely can’t come over there to help. no, remember, we tried video chat before, i just see the back of your chair.

sometimes drawing a bunch of cats from pinterest gives a sense of normalcy against the everyday everything

I hope the actual show rewires my brain the way the VisionQuest trailer has done, because it truly is at brain rewiring levels.

always fascinating when The Algorithm turns up a song I was obsessed with 10-15 years ago and had completely forgotten about. yes I am ready to become obsessed with it again thank you for reminding me of its existence.

the crazy thing about making time for any creative pursuit is that you literally have to do what you have a gut-deep yearning to do or else you'll see other people doing it, and it WILL make you insane.

actually, surprising number of Nebraska shirts spotted, which is weird considering it's Homecoming and also we aren't playing Nebraska, but I think it's because their color is also red?

University homecoming parade today, a.k.a. prime campaigning opportunity for all of SD's election candidates on all sides. The fact that the university colors are bright red may send some mixed messages, but the Dems got the biggest cheers. Bengs was also here in person shaking hands.

The issue with "monsters are marginalized people in fantasy clothes" is that it ends up with things like people making orcs more explicitly like people from IRL sub-Saharan Africa. "There's kind of a racist subtext with orcs, so we've fixed it by making them H. Rider Haggard Zulus." Which, um.

Homecoming Week *long-suffering*

000

oh christ the university marching band is right outside too lol

100

and this was just one of my classes! I am also pretty faceblind, which I tell students at the beginning of the semester, and students...really, really do not like this, to the extent that my chair pulled me aside earlier this week about it. (and he knows and is sympathetic.)

000

the bulk of my students are great but there are always the ones that are just ????

100

also the person who thought the Persian Wars were in the Middle East? I showed SO many maps.

100

student who six weeks into the semester somehow missed that these were supposed to be handwritten, e-mailed me in a panic over the weekend, and upon clarification got his girlfriend to help him handwrite into a notebook. (at this point I was just like 'whatever. your funeral.')

100

students who apparently did not listen to my very clear instructions or read the assignment sheet and kept their commonplace books (handwritten notes for class) in the same notebook as other class notes despite me very clearly saying they would have to hand it in at points. like a dozen of them.

100

student who did single digits poorly on the (OPEN NOTES) exam and said that the exam passage from Plutarch's Life of Alexander was to show how bad life was 50+ years ago. no air conditioning! no phones in walls!

100

(obviously I immediately sent the exam to the Testing Center after going through it to adjust for digital accessibility, but I really did need to know in advance which is why I ASKED in advance, since I've had many students who would rather just schedule with me and not deal with the TC.)

100

student who e-mailed me half an hour before the exam telling me that they would take it in the Testing Center because they had accommodations. happy to comply! however they needed to tell me one of the six times in advance I asked the class so I could send the exam to the Testing Center, not day of.

I know roughly where I'm looking and can pretty rapidly click through tabs to get to it. This one is my main browser window; the other windows are all my D+ tabs, my to watch tabs, miscellaneous to buy-and-or-check tabs, and the fanfic I'm reading tabs. I swear there's a system!

000

this whole thing is making me CHEW ON GLASS

000

to each their own! if I close things I often struggle with finding them again and I don't like bookmarking individual pages, or I need things that I want to be able to get to with one click instead of having to reopen them. (all those AO3 tabs are individual chapters of my ongoing WIPs.)

000

this is a normal and comfortable number of tabs (though if I open too many more then I have to start closing them because they vanish into the ether)

200

only like six on my phone and I only check two of those regularly. don't ask about my work computer, it's a nightmare zone because I just open a new window and open new tabs in it any time I want to change a thought.

000

come back with a court order (74+40+16+34+6 across five windows on my main personal computer. so, uh, some. for you I counted.)

I am still vibrating with fury tbh
