I honestly don’t know how to feel about this email from our local pizzeria thanking me for making a real impact. (They make great pizza, and we like to order it.)

Screenshot of an email from a restaurant with text that reads:

A heartfelt thank
you.

You've supported us time and time again, and we noticed.

At Patrizia's Manhattan, we believe in recognizing the guests who make a real impact - and that's you.

Whether you're dining in, ordering online, or just stopping by for your favorite dish, we're grateful for every visit.

Thanks for being part of our story.

This is *so* important. Not only will you do your best work, you will FINISH.

One of my favorite things about October is I get to unironically say phrases like "gummy bones" in places other than my doctor's office.

Love how the new talking point for data centers is calling them "knowledge manufacturing," which is actually the higher education sector and the one the Administration is actively trying to destroy.

This day in history. 700. Feast day of saint Osgyth who surprised her husband King Sighere of Essex by becoming a nun while he was off hunting and surprised the Viking pirates who beheaded her by picking up her head and carrying it away.

I'm afraid my haircut makes me look like I know about architecture and it's a lot of pressure.

I’m so curious what students think about this in both the short and longer term.

Larkin said green trees Are a kind of grief, but he killed them to say it. #TheRottingHaiku @rottingleafmag.bsky.social

I like to think that part of he Headless Horseman’s curse is that his pumpkin head regrows fresh each night, and he must carve a new expression every day.

[the Minotaur at the Fall Festival erupts from the edge of the maze clutching corn stalks] this structure is no challenge, no punishment for the hubristic and the wicked. Frankly embarrassing.

October is off to a great start. Just got a LinkedIn endorsement from a scarecrow for Bird Frightening.

And by “over for everyone” I mean that you won’t be hearing from me because I’ll be running free on a farm upstate.

One of these Mondays I’m going to wake up well rested and then it’s over for everyone.
