Taught “Ozymandias” this am. The takeaway after class discussion was, “Don’t look at power or riches as success. The only success was the sculptor whose creation tells us exactly what kind of asshole Ramses II was.” The kids have it.

After decades of facial pain that took me to ENTs, dentists, and orthodontists, I finally fell into the path of a neurosurgeon who said, "Are you sure it's not TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA?" Never heard of it, but got the MRI to check. Reader, it is trigeminal neuralgia.

My goal for summer was to write an article. It's currently 64 pages, and the absolute MAX I want to submit to the journal is 30 pages, including footnotes. It's July 21, and I feel like I can still pull this off, somehow. Also, in related news, please send me your literature jobs for next year!

I'm 2.5 weeks post-op, and I can stay awake all day, do light chores, read, type for up to 4-hours with minimal pain, and digest food normally. So I guess now I just need to write my article, as I had planned to do this summer.

Meanwhile, at a school and university near you, AI tools that have yet to be tested on the types of students and subjects you teach are being rolled out to/in them without robust discussion and analysis. It's a major, shameful failing of the management of education systems.

Day 6 of EXCRUCIATING shoulder pain that keeps me awake at night and makes me miserable all day. Today doc wrote a scrip for steroids & pharmacist told me to take then at breakfast because they might make it difficult to sleep if I took them tonight. Who sleeps anymore? Not I.

Can we talk about the fact that at the high school where I currently teach in central Texas there has been 2 instances of N*zi vandalism in the last 2 weeks that I know of? Bless the kid who crossed it out, but my class set of annotation instructions:
Sensitive content: hand drawn N*zi symbol on white cardstock. Someone has also crossed the symbol out and written “Bad” next to it with a frowny face.

I’m a complete failure: I earned my PhD in 2024 and the job I was able to get is in secondary (not higher) education. I continue to present at conferences and revise an article for publication while working 60 hours a week for teenagers who can barely write a paragraph.

Why does my depression always come at me when I have days off? I can't handle the slightest change to my routine. I'd rather be at work than have all this time to myself. I lie here thinking about all the things I need to do, and I fail at all of them because I cannot DO them. I'm frozen with dread.

The incessant lower right abdominal stabbing pain, which had admittedly ceased (or at least reduced) for about 15 days, is back to full-time stabbing. At pre-op appointment for scheduled post-Thanksgiving biopsy, I was told that at no point will the doctors be able to visualize the stabbing region.

There are 4 AP-medieval positions to apply to this weekend. Tomorrow and Friday are both dress-up days at the high school where I currently work. I'm trying to make this oppressive job as joyful as it can be, so I'll dress up. Exhaustion. But there are 4 positions I can apply to for next year.
