So this happened

If Brett Goldstein can manifest a relationship with his celebrity crush, I can shoot my shot.

Got a real case of the sads today. I should just go to bed, and try again tomorrow. Or maybe eating my weight in cheese and pickles is the answer.

I went out last night for the first time in a long time. I got home at 145am and I can’t remember the last time I was this tired. I only had 3 beers, which kept me out longer than I had planned but I clearly can’t do those late nights anymore. Yeesh.

I bought some new sheets for the first time in about 6 years. I may never leave my bed.

I’m making some freezer meals for a friend’s mom whose husband just passed away unexpectedly. No allergy issues; any suggestions?

Because in a history course, my job is to teach students how to read sources themselves, how to analyze them themselves, how to write about them and craft arguments themselves. It's like you're asking a personal trainer to include a fork lift as part of the free weights routine.

lol there’s a new-ish school in my division that’s already being expanded to accommodate 600 more kids. My school was built in 1969, and is probably 500 students over capacity. What are we getting? A new library space, and 4 new classrooms.

Making lunch for the first day back at work sucks. It’s like I forgot how to properly feed myself over the summer.

The hottest scene in any movie ever is in Fast Five. I have seen this movie approximately 100 times, and I always expect Hobbs and Dom to kiss at that one point.

The girl who made my sandwich put an almost unholy amount of pickles on it and I am so very happy right now

Well I WAS planning to be outside today….

Seeing all the reactions to Lindsey Graham dying makes me think that we should all strive to not be reviled. And I don’t think it’s particularly hard to do that.

We gotta get back to editing our own shit with nothing but sleep deprivation and spite to motivate us.

first of all, how dare you say the thing i wrote sounds like it was written by AI? second of all, of course i used AI to assist with the drafting and editing of this piece

It’s the first day of my summer vacation. I’ve eaten nothing but carbs, had an iced coffee that never got to room temperature because I got to drink it when I wanted, and finished 2 books. I am very happy right now.

I have waited 10 years for this. I am going to enjoy the hell out of it.

I started showering as soon as I get home from work, rather than waiting until I’m ready for bed. I regret to inform everyone that it’s changed my life for the better.

Tomorrow is the last day of classes for this year. I have some really big feelings about it.

Yeah I failed at this. Though I think in 2025 I only bought 8 new books, which is actually pretty remarkable for me. Let’s not talk about 2026 so far.

Other than the books I pre-ordered today, my goal for 2025 is to not buy anything new until I read EVERYTHING on my TBR list. Gifts, of course, are welcome (if you dare).

It was our first day of football spring camp and it’s very windy today. I spent two hours outside and my face is wind burnt, and I don’t know if I’ve ever been happier.

The dearth of third spaces is absolutely ruining everything. I just want to be able to go somewhere to do some work and be able to stay for a while.

The first two lines of Free Fallin’ are absolutely perfect, and it makes me so angry that I’ll never write anything that good in my life.

Someone at work asked me if there was anything they could do to help me out. I said that what I actually need is a hug from someone taller than me and for them to let me cry for a while. I don’t think that was the answer they were expecting.

I am officially starting the last course of this degree on Monday. I applied for graduation so that as soon as I’m done they will send me my parchment. I can’t wait to not have this albatross weighing me down

My brain won’t turn off. I should maybe take a day off to get my life right but the idea of sub plans is equally stressful.

I am all of a sudden very nostalgic for the coffee shops I used to do working when I lived in Dublin. We have a real lack of third spaces and it’s becoming more noticeable as time goes on

I just overheard two high school girls talking about how they give their mom’s phone numbers to boys who don’t leave them alone

On the other place there’s inane discourse about first person POV in fiction, and I just think we need to reopen the schools on a large scale.

Hahah holy shit if only I had known

I’m on spring break, which means that we have 3 months of school left. This has been, hands down, the hardest year and I am so glad to have some respite.
