Checking out of Bsky for a bit. Seems like a good opportunity for a reset with our church’s annual weekend retreat to Prescott (70F!, mountains!) coming up Friday. Take care of yourselves. Log off, too, if you need it!

I'm hesitant with endpin wheels bc there's the off chance you hit a curb really hard and it bends your endpin, or worse, cracks the endpin housing. I'd go bass buggy or a case with wheels! Signed, a fellow double bassist

What also gets to me is that it's bad in a way that you don't need any training to recognize. Any thinking undergraduate student can tell it's incoherent. In fact, it takes multiple years of training and dedication to that particular subfield to fail to realize how bad it is.

The way my son says “itsy!” when referring to spiders — in books, my Spider-Man mug, etc. — is just too much. A stake through my heart. Such cute.

Wife: “Maybe you have sleep apnea.” Me: “I haven’t gained that much weight.” W: “It can happen to anyone. You do have allergies and wake up with dry mouth.” Me: “Holy shit.” It would explain sleeping all the time but still being tired, the weight gain, and dehydration despite pounding water.

Was it off of Route 9? I used to drive that all the time to visit my (now) wife who worked in the Berkshires.

I am a hypermasculine and extremely powerful alpha male. As such my greatest fears are seed oils, rainbows, people who don't look like me being on TV, and preventative medicine. I cannot explain any of these fears and consider that to be your fault.

Saw my former psychiatrist at the Children’s Museum today. Said hello and all that, but wasn’t really sure of the protocol. It was just about as awkward as the time I physically ran into my ex in the hall during my undergrad.

Dietary aide at an assisted living home. Washed dishes, mopped floors, scraped puréed food off of plates. $7.50/hour. That job taught me so much compassion. It was one of the best moves my parents made — making me get a job at 16 if I wanted to drive.

I know it’s not at all cool by music snob standards, but I love a large amount of Mark Ronson’s arrangements. The trumpet solo in “Oh My God” is remarkable bc of the way it keeps up the energy. And I like the uptempo version of Valarie way more.

I know I’m a few days behind, but the alt text on the OG post makes it seem like Heater is a small orange human child and not a cat. Which is funny as the parent of a toddler and two cat children.

I taught every single semester in the core while developing a new curriculum for Theory 1/2 on my own. Managed 7 non-theory TAs. Didn’t get a break from the core until 2024. (Paternity leave.) Colleague entered 1st semester w/no core, pre-baked curriculum. Got a huge grant. Who would have guessed.

“It is structurally impossible to be a top scholar.” Only by hardline negotiating have we (a colleague who left the field and me) given my new colleague a fighting chance. I would have 2x output if I came in with the same graces. But there’s no way to articulate that w/o sounding like a whiner.
