I haven't had a semester away from teaching since my last semester of grad school. I'm so excited to just write. Having a single mission for a semester is perfect for someone like me that kind of hates multitasking.

You know what changed my life? Wearing church clothes for my 8 am geology class. Sounds silly, doesn’t it?

I haven’t reread many fiction books. I should change that.

My obligation to students as an American politics professor. To teach them American politics. Not to attempt mimic the boss they may have when they get a job. Not to be their stylist. I am to teach them American politics.

The stress over something we know does not matter for attaining an education. Lord. Enough already. 🤣

If there’s a conversation I wish we could retire forever, it’s whether Black students need to wear fancy clothes to go to class. You know how many well-dressed dummies I know? I teach upwards of 260 students. I don’t know what they have on and I don’t care.

It doesn’t feel like weather reporting is accurate anymore. I think those Elon cuts are taking a toll on forecasting like so many meteorologists warned about.

It’s a difficult time. Sigh

🤣

And no school has to cut those scholarships. None of those state laws or executive orders hold up if they fight.

Ah! I’m stuck in my American Politics, polarization stupor.

It’s gotten worse! Feels like it at least.

Folks have to watch who they follow. “Liberal” is no longer a reliable indication of what they are thinking about and promoting.

I’ll have practice in less than a month. I’m surrounded by Leo’s.

You don’t have to tell the person teaching a writing class. 😭

Bro, if you halfway can have reasonable thoughts and some sense, you’ll be ahead of the game. 🤣

My cards aren’t imaginative. 🥴

I mean, I’m only going to say happy birthday anyway. 😬

This Burning Man doc is just talking about a bunch of unhappy rich people. I don't know what I'm supposed to take from this.

There's just no way to have a true democracy while plotting to beat, maim, disappear, and kill the most marginalized folks in the polity.
