Also the stress of a strike is very real. I don't know if it's because of my field (academia/education), or neurodiversity, or if everyone is as uncomfortable doing it as I am, but it sucks. I'd rather just be teaching, but companies gotta be stupid.

Striking and being disallowed from doing any work has helped me realize just how much I a working. Unable to do things I thought I was doing for myself that are actually considered work.

Never have I gotten so much use out of my waterproof backpack cover. I guess I have a product I can endorse.

I woke up thinking "hey I don't think I hear rain!" but it was just less rain than it has been for the past month. Anyway, haha, everything is fine, I love a rainy day. Or month. Season.

Spent a couple of weeks in the US getting Mexican/TexMex and still it wasn't enough. I can never have enough tacos and salsa.

I referenced the turn of the century and a friend 12 years younger misunderstood (but honestly why would you say turn of the century for the 2000s when you could say turn of the millennium?)

Omg finally at the point in writing where I'm enjoying it. Let's hope this lasts just a few more hours. Home stretch.

University here is similar but like, leveled up I guess. I have to teach freshmen that they can literally just go to the bathroom without permission and not come to class if they don't feel well. This is my first year without any freshmen and it feels like something's missing, lol

So proud to have teeth so close together that the dentist congratulates me for flossing every day and symathizes with a "that must be so difficult"

The dentist stresses me out and I've been practicing calculating standard deviation lately so today at the dentist I did standard deviation problems in my head (poorly and likely incorrectly) and I think I kinda understand the benefit of math now

Had such a fun time teaching my university students to use a dictionary. I'm sure they've done it before at some point, but they'd forgotten pretty much everything

I don't think Vimes could articulate his beliefs very well, but then again neither can I.

I spent the first week of my summer break rereading all the Pratchett Ank Morpork city watch books and now I'm doing heavy theory reading for a book chapter I'm writing. I've decided Vimes is a man who never reads theory but instinctively understands it and I envy him.

But it's absolutely beautiful and although I didn't grow up in a place like Alvin Straight, most of my family did and I spent a lot of time in small towns and corn fields

Rewatching The Straight Story (1999) is bringing back sense memories of my grandpa driving me and my cousins on the gravel streets around the neighborhood in his riding mower and I miss him

Haha. I was pretty good at school and tests, partly because I thought if I worked hard I wouldn't need to take tests one day

I have literally never remembered my business cards at a networking event. Sometimes it works in my favor, like the last conference I attended when an Ai company wanted it and I could honestly reply that I didn't have one

To best part of my job is not being tied down with a rigid curriculum, which allows me to hang out and draw book covers with my students. Anyway, I can't draw people and I know this isn't what Sec Unit looks like, but I enjoyed drawing today.
Drawn in colored pencil, a green blocky robot shoots a person with a Lazer. The person is dead, dented by XX for eyes, and is flying backwards. The title is Platform Decay, by Martha Wells.

This is so upsetting I may have to unfollow. I'm traveling for work this weekend and every time I do that I look for Mexican (or Tex Mex, I'll take what I can get) in the city I'm going to but it almost never happens.

Yes! It's such good stuff. I had a guest visit my LGBTQ+ media class last year and the responses were really heartening for the most part. I'll have a chapter about it out next year, probably. They love to meet not-their-teacher, lol

Ok so 2007 Michael Clayton was good actually even though the synopsis made it sound incredibly boring. Thanks Criterion. I think I'm done with "corporate thrillers" for now.

Criterion channel has a corporate thrillers collection right now and we have watched a film from 1987, then 1997, so I guess next we gotta watch a 2007
