The epileptic urge to shake rattle and roll

Ancient Aliens just told me that swords are made by aliens and plagues are also aliens so just a fyi we got a bad case of aliens

Making a grocery list is just workshopping your voresona

I love that journaling started with Puritans being like 'I need to record my failings'
which makes my current journal a historical reenactment

I wanted to go for a run but instead I am convalescing from stress

actually probably hasn't realized it

saw it for a moment and then went home and was like

naaaah

the best part of my week so far has been watching the worst person at book club realize everyone hates them

A+

holy shit it was a Bad day
I have a stress headache and may simply wither away

teaching after a long weekend is horrible

Officially giving my students Cajun French nicknames and it's very entertaining

I'm not angry about things I didn't learn in high school
I'm mad that because of low pay some of the best teachers I've had left education

There are many reasons to stay in a career, but guilt is not one of them

If the system itself doesn't make your work sustainable, it is very fair to leave even if you love it

💜

I feel like care industries are hard to leave because of the moral pressure of 'you're doing good things'

But sometimes
That's not enough

Alright so
I write a lot, and I'd like to get paid for writing

any idea of how to do that?

I have kept a journal through my entire graduate school process
the idea being - I'll have something to look back on and I appreciate it for entries like

'wrong meds for 5 days. I feel like shit.'

'ugh.'

'I've never been more distraught' I think I had to rewrite a chapter for the 4th time

it's making me laugh

I have my dissertation defense talk trimmed to 5 minutes.
I have practiced it on 1 person.

I shall practice it on a thousand more until it works

Also I'm at work SO early

my EBR library card is officially deceased
RIP
it was the best library system

@twistylittlepassages @duskdweller get into this car couyons, NASA made two perfumes about space!!

All you need to do is take 205 pages of content and talk about it for 5 minutes, while also being me
so
easy peasy

Alright couyons - which one of y'all can I convince to read my dissertation and then defend it for me

Don't worry I'll send you some of my clothes and a wig and videos of me talking so it'll be super easy
