Feeling decidedly rumpled in spirit. Loud Chanticleer in my ears in an attempt to quiet the brain. The Biebl Ave Maria is nearly always effective.

Rewatching NCIS New Orleans and one of the most realistic things I've seen in a crime procedural show is that Sonja always has to remind us that she's vegan.

Honestly? Ursula from Little Mermaid. Hid behind the couch whenever she was on screen in octopus form.

There are plague cases every year. I was literally warned of the risk in my first archives job in the western US. People store things in attics or basements, rodents get in… luckily yersinia pestis responds well to antibiotics.

It might still be 80+ outside but dagnabbit, it’s October and dark by 7pm. I’m making pot roast.

It’s my jokey way of saying don’t lick your finger to help you turn pages.

I keep telling people not to lick the archives and they always think I’m kidding.

Fair! Fwiw older students are awesome. They really want to be there and it warms the faculty hearts to see.

I usually say it’s for Elijah, but that joke might not work in non-Jewish contexts.

considering the MOST famous "rugged individualist" still had his mom wash his underwear, i'd take it a step further and say America's fatal flaw is, and always will be, misogyny

Could Dolly have been one of the Just Men? I know they’re supposed to be humble, anonymous types, but I still wonder.

I’ve occasionally pulled tabloids about the Reno divorce industry from the 1920s and 1930s, and students have recently started describing them as “print clickbait.” Love it.

I’m in a restaurant by myself and voluntarily ordered a side of broccoli. Disturbing sign of maturity.

And occasionally I knew the answer right away but could telk you wouldn’t accept that, so I actually intentionally delayed answering to give the illusion of research.

A South Asian neighbor thought she was the victim of a hate crime but it turned out to be squirrels ripping up the newly-laid grass sod to hide acorns.

I retract this statement. Metallic thread is proof of the Devil’s existence.

What's the deal with boycotting Harry Potter? A thread and freely printable pamphlet to inform offline people. No AI. Pamphlet & refs here: www.friendlyexplanation.com Why have so many Harry Potter fans stopped putting money in J.K. Rowling’s pocket? Because she proudly spends it on harming kids.

Trifold pamphlet cover. What's the deal with... Boycotting Harry Potter. A friendly explanation. Person surrounded by pink and blue ribbon holding a small trans flag like it's a magic wand.

Do you want that alphabetically, chronologically, or numerically

Honestly a toss-up whether metallic thread (in any amount) or large swathes of white stitching is more stressful in a cross-stitch pattern.

I’ve got two, both from my family in Texas.

Two political badges on a light gray sheet. The one on the left is obviously newer and reads “Somebody Else For President” while the one on the right is smaller and faded, supporting Willkie and McNary in their 1940 bid against FDR.

I turn 40 this month and will absolutely accept candy as a present because I have the willpower of a 10 year old left unsupervised with birthday money from grandma.

It’s been a little over three years and the loss of my mom is a wound that starts bleeding again at the slightest touch. A big part of the struggle is tripping over all the ways my dad can’t fill the gaps. He’s who he is, and has his strengths, mostly practical. I miss the other side of the coin.

I work at a desk, filling in many spreadsheets and yet for the second time this week I may skip dinner and go to bed now.
