Maybe Lowe's (pronounced Lowe's in our house due to a kid) should stock ibuprofen next to the paint brushes for people who think, hey, the bathroom is the smallest room in the house! We can knock this out in a weekend! (Tomorrow is day 4).

My husband called a movie "cringe," & the 19yo says, "Cringe is dead." 23yo agrees- it's judgemental. 19yo explains: "Let people enjoy their silly little things. Let them have joy in their lives." The kids are all right.

I have a student who apparently makes her living doing "Get Ready With Me" TikTok videos, so she did one for her final project, in which she did her makeup & discussed the class, which she summed up: "10/10; would emotionally spiral again." I might put this in my annual review & on my faculty page.

I came home on Monday w a migraine coming on, so I switched dinner nights with my husband, took a shower, took medicine, & slept for 11 hours.

A shared understanding of the big picture organizing problem we face can help us develop solutions. @jessicacalarco.bsky.social l boiled down the essence of the problem in a very short Bluesky thread: bsky.app/profile/jess... 2/18

The right has united around a rejection of government as the solution to social problems. Which means they can generally agree to block new policies and programs. The left is united in its desire for government solutions. But that means they have to face the harder task of agreeing on what to do.
For related reasons, the right can also unite people around shared enemies. Because even if people don't trust government to solve their problems, they still want someone to blame when they're struggling. And the right gives them scapegoats in spades.
The right also blocks the left's efforts toward solidarity. Because if the right's default is to block everything, then the left has to make harder choices about what to try to push through. Which means there's only money/time/energy for some factions to get the new programs/policies they want.
And notably, where the right does agree to implement some new program or policy, it's usually a policy or program that: 1) attacks the scapegoats they've built their solidarity around, and/or 2) pushes the cost onto those least able to fight back.

When my aunt died, about 8 years ago, I inherited her Dodgers paraphernalia & some of her scarves. I wore one yesterday & it still smells of her perfume. (I want to say Halston?)

A silky brown scarf with a white pattern that still still smells like my cool 70s aunt's perfume.

The campus security guy actually stopped me at the gate this morning to ask, "Do you work here?" I explained that I do, & he was confused: "So you ride a bike instead of a car?" "If it's above 40 & not raining, I do!" (I know, I'm a wimp)

My bike parked in the hallway in front of my office on a small college campus.

There's this presient vs predictive debate going on around Octavia Butler and the CA fires but no mention of how Butler's depiction of fire in Altadena was also personal. These pages are from Ibi Zoboi's middle-grade biography of Butler, titled Star Child..
