It’s nice to see everyone’s textual analysis of The Odyssey It’s almost like the humanities give you entertainment, feelings, pleasure, and fun/interesting stuff to talk about, as well as lenses into both past and current society

My partner and I moved to the Netherlands two years ago. I am self-employed, and she's employed, but at a company that frequently does layoffs. I cannot overstate how much relief it is to decouple healthcare from work in the precarious world of late capitalism.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

Routine research and teaching tasks become high-friction when you have to remember the steps each time. Writing down the steps for repeatable tasks saves energy and keeps you from solving the same problems every semester, so you can focus on the work that matters, via @jennmcclearen.bsky.social

Overwhelmed by a too-long To Do list and facing decision paralysis? DON'T DECIDE. Let the world decide for you. Number the top 6 things and roll a die or ask a random number generator. Do whatever it lands on for 15-25 min, take a 5 min break, & repeat until you have momentum or feel accomplished.
