Long-suffering #Canucks fan. Also in grad school. Will post about both things, but not in equal measure.
I know there was a whole "physical media" discourse on here a few days ago wrt video games and Playstation, but for me having the actual mp3 files of songs that I like on my old phone that is no longer connected to the internet/SIM card is one of my greatest pleasures.
All the "Me too went too far" people can nicely fuck all the way off.

Student email: "Have a terrific day!" Thanks student. I will :D (I am a dork with my kiddos sometimes. Kiddos here meaning undergrads)
carving “this machine kills fascists” into a 60lb rare earth magnet and launching it into a data center
Once a month, I get to explain all of Canada's made up holidays as I complain that I have to work.
It's really affirming that the one time my online asynchronous course fucked up this whole semester, I had like 10 students email about it in a 12h span... cause I heard NOTHING from them previously. So... yay!!! The course has gone really well and I can be proud of it!!!

Question for the men of my timeline. In your twenties/before you lived with your partner (whichever came first) -- how many towels did you have in your bathroom?

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
Ended up reading "I Who Have Never Known Men" in one sitting. What a hauntingly beautiful and strange book
