It has to be a sign of the times that we have back-to-back months with a Friday the 13th.

I will be baking bread and reading romantasy novels until the snow melts, if anyone is looking for me. We’re going into full escapist hibernation mode.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

Cosmo’s doggy daycare took holiday pictures of all the pups this week. This is the content I needed in my life.🎄🐾

Something about logging off before a holiday and coming back the following Monday to find you're in a whole new month is extra disorienting.

Watch out, Vegas — @josieahlquist.bsky.social and I are here this week, providing on-site content support for NACADA’s Annual Conference. Excited to show all the academic advisors some love (these people are so delightful and passionate; they deserve it)! 💙💚

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

The Life of a Showgirl is the sparkle of goodness I needed this week. ✨❤️‍🔥 On my second play-through. So far my favorites are The Fate of Ophelia, Elizabeth Taylor, and Actually Romantic. But honestly, the whole album is a gem and I think this is the best Taylor's voice has ever sounded. 🥰

Pro tip: If you find poison ivy in your backyard and feel that gloves will be sufficient protection during the removal process because it’s just one plant and you’ve never had a reaction before and you’ll be super careful…you should probably put on some long sleeves.

Just went out to see why my dog was barking his head off & going full fur-raised in our backyard — he had cornered an opossum & the thing was playing dead on my freshly mowed grass. So if I get an Apple Watch alert about an irregularly high heart rate today, we know why. (No animals harmed, btw)

Instead of election-season debates or hiring committees for senior leadership positions, I think we should stick all the candidates in a room & watch them participate in a critique session for a writing workshop or art class. Some of these folks were never misunderstood to their face & it shows.

We don't talk enough about colleges as economic drivers. Yes, degrees support lifetime earnings & alumni provide skilled labor—but the very presence of a college in a town is a huge source of employment, funding for local initiatives & community resources. Closed schools hurt more than students.

I'm not sure if this is a confession or a tip—but I've been using Feedly like it's 2012 & I just learned about RSS feeds. There's something really satisfying about a list of articles from publications I hand-picked. Nothing extra. No algo. Just knowledge at my fingertips like the interwebs intended.
A screenshot of a Feedly RSS feed shows thumbnails and headlines for articles about simplifying Facebook post scheduling from Buffer, community colleges from Higher Ed Dive, the ASU+GSV Summit from Higher Ed Dive, creative video marketing from Marketing Dive, and college students' digital addictions from Inside Higher Ed.
