never change, nyc
from the ny times: "The vibe at Claire Valdez’s watch party in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is electric. The crowd is bopping as the DJ, the activist and whistleblower Chelsea Manning, spins remixes of “Sweet Dreams” by the Eurythmics. Valdez is set to speak to the crowd in a few minutes."

Did the conditioner soak trick and it's at least able to fit my head with some squeezing now. Minigob is working overtime to help with the drying and shaping
I have the sweater over my head like a hat or bonnet

I'm holding an overly elaborate poster. It has James Baldwin on it. It also has stuff hanging off it.

I love to adapt my presentations to the local context* *use the not-a-normal-distribution church as a representation of a probability distribution

Hate having to explain my own jargon to my audience
I look exasperated as I present. The slide has James Baldwin on it, and the text "what's in a valuing? What's an investment?"

I love teaching philosophy

2) laws of nature about bonds and hardness" and "3) diamond cuts graphite" scrawled on a blackboard

The gusts this week got me like
Piglet and Pooh in a still from Winnie The Pooh and the Blustery Day. Piglet's unwinding scarf is being used as a kite string by Pooh, and Piglet is, well, the hapless kite.

I take my metaphors very seriously

the default TeXcount settings keep letting me get away with this
an iceberg meme. The tip of the iceberg, above water, says "main text word count." underwater there is the rest of the iceberg; it includes "footnotes," "appendix," "section names," and "citations."

. @wiglet1981.bsky.social has such :) relatable :) examples :)
I've highlighted a text saying: "Cheragh is deciding whether or not to write the great novel that has been gestating in her imagination for five years. But she faces a problem. If she writes it, she knows she will come to have higher literary standards than she currently has. She also knows that while her own novel would live up to her current standards, it will not live up to these higher ones. So, if she writes it, she'll wish she'd never bothered. On the other hands, if she doesn't write it, she'll retain the same literary standards she has now, and she'll know her novel would have attained those standards. So, if she doesn't write it, she'll wish she had. Should Cheragh write her book?" I've commented "so true Cheragh"
