I hate it when I go grocery shopping and get home only to realize I forgot two items I need for dinner tonight.

I have so much grading to do and I really just want a day off.

There really needs to be a sub system in place for college profs. Right now so extremely grateful one of my colleagues can cover my lab because Missy sure did spend the night throwing up and having diarrhea. Right up to me getting dressed this morning. Five guesses where we are?

I love/hate the journal assignment in one of my courses, but the one nice thing is that they're easy to grade outside. And appease a puppy in the process.

You meet the darndest people on public transportation. Tonight was a man around my parents age from Savannah who's worked in electric and light on film crews for the past 30 years. Including Marvel movies. He also told me all about Savannah's history. It was definitely one of the best MARTA rides.

Jenny @jenhaneve.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

That moment you have the timing for MARTA perfect. Only to fuck it up by leaving the phone in the car and not realizing till you're on the platform. These tap in tap out gates are apparently not made for sudden lapses in idiocy. An employee had to let me out.

Missy had to go to the vet this morning for a follow up in the swollen hock joint. I got her a pup cup after but she's still acting annoyed whenever I come near her. Sigh. It was for your own good, puppy! 🙄

So that's the second jar in this set of four that is now gone. All that sugar! 😩

I am having the worst time focusing on work today. 😑 Can I just do bare minimum and bead instead?

001

Jenny @jenhaneve.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

No, I did not just spend $70 on beads at Michael's because I've been on a beading kick and want to try delica beads in peyote stitch. And am trying to be a responsible human being and not shop at Hobby Lobby. I miss JoAnn's.

So one of the policy brief groups in my environmental policy class is looking at offshore wind farms as their topic. I am doing a little dance of joy because this was the topic of my master's thesis 16 years ago. It's only taken teaching a policy class for the 4th time to find students interested.

Jenny @jenhaneve.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Well, it took a month for the first recommendation request. But it's for a student who was in four different classes I taught, so it's someone I got to know very well. That always makes it easier to write!

Jenny @jenhaneve.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Idk if it's something to do with no laptops or just this particular group of students, but I swear I've never had this level of participation in Intro to Env Studies before. I still have those more comfortable than others, but I got new voices today and it's amazing.

Stupid thing to be proud of, but I caught a waterbug and took it outside without screaming once.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

So my mom's friend died today. He was my emergency contact when I lived in Arkansas because he lived in Tennessee. I ran over his mailbox the time I stayed overnight on my first long solo roadtrip (that passed through Nashville). He never complained. He was a good person. Weird he's gone.

Stepping over a dog the exact second she raises her head does not end well for human or dog. (We're both ok. Just a little (a lot in my case) startled. I now feel super guilty for accidentally kicking her in the head.)

Went to Ocmulgee Indigenous Celebrations today with the school. The celebration was really cool and the mounds are amazing. I really need to go back so I can really explore. It was also really cool to experience a different nation's arts and traditions rather than the ones I'm used to up north!

So based on all the badges I've found, going to Dragon Con last Sunday made it my 10th Dragon Con and 15th con overall. Which, given all the money and time constraints in my life, isn't half bad I think. I really need to find a better way to display all of these some day.

I've spent my entire career reporting on the War on Terror. Many this week have asked me for my extended thoughts on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Here they are.

Today We Must Finally Remember What The 9/11 Commemorations Ignore

Righteous victimhood fueled the War on Terror. 25 years later, we also have to remember all of those slain under its banner

And Missy's ankle is swollen. I had to stop the car short on the way to the vet because the light suddenly changed and she fell. So on top of the annual visit she's getting today, she's now getting an x-ray. 🫥

we don’t teach young people short-term history, so it was weird when i realized that gen z had no idea that so many gen x and millennials spent our high school years protesting george w bush and not just because of the wars, but because mosques were being targeted and sikh men were being attacked

Schools are not a business and a student is not a customer and this is the framing that encapsulates everything wrong with higher education. The “solution” of running universities like businesses rather than a public good was always the problem.

Well. 25 years. And I still remember that day and the days after too clearly. ❤️‍🩹 NYC.

Well, dog sure had a panic attack tonight. Which means I'm currently stuck in bed with her sleeping against me because I'm afraid if I move, she'll start panting again. So I'm looking at enso rings and debating unnecessary purchases instead.

Scheduled covid and flu vaccines for this afternoon because might as well get them done ASAP. Especially since Covid is apparently going around the campuses. 😬

So one of my purchases came with free mystery dice. I love that of all the possibilities, I wound up with Squirtle dice. Squirtle has, and will remain, my favorite Pokemon.

One of my closest friends from grad school was recently diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer after a year of doctors dismissing her concerns as part of pregnancy/post-partum. Her sister started a GoFundMe (www.gofundme.com/f/support-el...) to help cover medical and move expenses.

I feel so old leaving Dragon Con at 3 pm, but also I have been up since 5:50 am... Still! Amazing day with @barbiejedi.bsky.social and her mom. Lots of stress shopping. And whoever decided to do a little free library at Con is genius! I have never seen so many books at one stand.

Lightsaber stays home because MARTA and the inevitability of getting sick carrying it tomorrow. The big question is: do I use the Chopper backpack or do I go with something that can hold more?

Teaching first this year: fraternal twins enrolled in the same class! So glad they're fraternal. Remembering names is hard enough already.

Working at Starbucks while Missy gets her bath because I haven't recovered from the three days last spring where she was in the hospital. And going home to an empty apartment sounds awful. Dog did look utterly betrayed this morning when she realized where we ended up.

Sometimes I'm convinced I have some mild form of dyslexia or something similar. Aside from the fact it runs in the family, I just spent all summer with the two TA slots confused in my head. Turns out we have the TA for the larger section and not the smaller after all. I am such an idiot. 🫤
