All I can hope for today is that we lose, pure and simple, without any clock nonsense. #goblue
Words cannot describe how I feel about turn 12. Fernando should pull some Indycar nonsense and show these kids how it's done.

I will be taking a social media break during Lent this year in the hopes of rebuilding some neglected connections between my heart/soul and the world around me. See you all after Easter!
Something really needs to be done about the mismatch between high school and college writing. Students come to college with such counter-productive ideas about writing (that you should always avoid repetition, or that passive voice is inherently bad) that have clearly been hammered in as axiomatic.
Lmao I always forget that Leigh Diffey calls luge for nbc
A weird side-effect of the Epstein files release is the realization that many of the most "powerful" and "important" men in the world put like negative effort into composing their emails.
I recently learned that there are now Anglican sedevacantists and that's just. The worst.
