i find this professor character so deeply relatable. all his stuff focuses on the tv show "who's the boss." i would not be more respectable with my nonsense about national treasure. i know i'm a joke of a person. representation matters etc.

most recent episode of the soccer show got me skittering into this territory

two screenshots from the tv show community. a bald professor in a bowtie and sweater vest combo (stephen tobolowsky) is talking to abed nadir (danny pudi) while gesturing to a complicated data plot behind him.

i finished this today and it ABSOLUTELY whips. so cool, extremely prescient (being written in 1996), doesn't hold your hand at all. author came out as trans in the time after it was written and there's a sizable bit like "oh yeah you're working some stuff out here huh" (complimentary)

i do wonder about like--at some point i will have lived here longer than i did in my hometown, which included an era where i was too young to really know anything. at what point can you say you Know a place? why does 18 years of being a child someplace outweigh 18 years elsewhere as an adult

from what i've seen having a dedicated audience already between your backlist and your newsletter (and getting featured in the times!) could do wonders. but i know the process sucks beyond measure so. yknow
