I like knitting, learning, and making things work. Strapping lass. She/her. I'm a queer, married, middle-aged, parent who skis. Obviously I drive a Subaru.

In high school, I took French. I can kind of puzzle out stuff and I technically can, like, order coffee and pastries. My accent is apparently bad enough that French folks resort to pointing to confirm what I said, though.

Yeah, you know what, that’s actually a fair usage of the phrase ‘medieval’. It is medieval and it should have been left in the medieval era.

For years afterward, Ditka said not running was one of his great regrets because he thought he would have beaten Obama and averted his presidency.

I remember a decade-long panic about undergraduates, activists, or Tumblr pages declaring new language rules and denouncing people for violating them.

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.

I am not saying I think Catholicism is the one true religion. I am not saying I think the pope is right on everything. I am not saying that I’m not agnostic anymore. I *AM* saying that I’m getting close to changing my position on whether god has more important things to worry about than sports

"you follow this one person around, trying to convince them you're so smart that people should call you 'doctor,' and everyone makes believe there's a job at the end. If everything gost well, in several years you get to sit in a meeting w/ that person's friends, and they decide if you're smart."

I really wish there was more civic discourse about Drexel, and Penn, and Temple, being shitty community members. Drexel just trying to vaporize a civic insty-tution that should be there for future generations of Philly kids.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

Technology enthusiasts severely overestimate the average person’s desire or willingness or capacity to build and use AI agents. I understand some work roles that could mandate or encourage it but that is no way a tech revolution. Agents are best for structured, clearly delineated tasks.

SpaceX just launched the 14th Starship test flight, and it's now successfully in orbit for the first time. This is an amazing achievement, and I absolutely detest how Musk has ruined this sort of thing both for me and for humanity.

I think this is a key part of why historians are mad, yeah. Because it’s a dunk, and it’s one that like. We all know that scientists and engineers think themselves better and smarter than humanities students. There’s always an assumption that they could do our job but we couldn’t do theirs.

This strikes me is a common misunderstanding of the argument for humanities education, which is not that it serves as some sort of individual inoculation, but rather than it produces a citizenry more capable of self-governance when distributed widely, especially for decision-makers of every kind.
