My mom is spending the record-breaking snowstorm trying to figure out how to “bring some snow inside for the cat”… to be fair, the cat is a Norwegian forester and does long for the snow

Obviously privilege and not changing size or having big life events helped with the not buying things.

I will be thrifting a few new things in January (jeans) and will make some new t-shirts, but I plan to buy 0-5 pieces a year second-hand for the foreseeable future. Big fan of not buying clothes when possible.

Clothing quality is so bad and I noticed it more since I wasn’t buying new things. Pieces I was gifted last Christmas already have rips/holes/etc.

I didn’t need that many clothes and I didn’t feel bored with my wardrobe. I made a few pieces that I love and made my wardrobe feel more personal and good-quality

Almost done with year of no-buying for clothes and I learned a lot. I’ve been successful, and only acquired 3 t-shirts from other means (road race, work event, etc.)

If Diehard is a Christmas movie then Taken is a Thanksgiving movie. I will not be taking questions.

Shocked and dismayed that day-to-night work wear/clubbing attire is coming back in style. The most pointless fashion items known to man.

I get on the train every day with a woman reading Girl with a Dragon Tattoo and she’s about halfway done. How can anyone not love public transit?

I’d love to see more thoughts on AI text that considers the effects on the readers

Idk how many people besides teachers are reading copious amounts of AI work, but it’s got this smooth brain quality to it that makes me feel like I’m slowly descending into madness

I told my students last trimester that their writing actually sounded like them finally after I threw many AI-related tantrums

Half the fun of traveling for me is the reading, movie watching, guidebook perusing I do before I go

As the least Christmas-y person, I sympathize with the plight of the Christmas villain

Katie Nolan @kfnolan.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

Christmas movies are all about forcing the least Christmas-y person to enjoy the season, despite their reasonable protests to the contrary

Taking care of your faculty IS taking care of your students.

In the winter, I try to cook like I’m in the Redwall books

Knitting stash busting feels so virtuous 🙏

Worried the vibes over here are like cheerful and feel-good. Hope some trash fire and certified haters are also in the mix

When google reads my work emails, the most common AI quick response it gives me is “Ugh.” So that’s great.

“Small Things like These” was a great movie, but Clare Keegan is clearly not a millennial for titling the book it’s based on something soooo close to “All the Small Things”

Seattle needs classes on taking the subway. And having a subway. Just like how to transit really.

Woof I hardly remember how to do this. I never would have guessed I used to be a union comms secretary
