Yn a worlde where the humanityes are being systematicallye defunded by both the righte and the lefte, the internet ys one big seminar about the meaninge of *The Odyssey.* Ther ys a lesson yn thys somewher. And the lesson ys: funde the humanityes.

Whoa! I had no idea

One thing I love about my job is that I can take naps. When I used to work 8-4 every day at a HS, I would get so tired after lunch. America needs to embrace the siesta.

Yay I have WiFi again! It was annoying to try to work with only my phone’s hotspot (v slow) and god forbid I leave the house

And the price!

Nice! I have a Canon MP3620 which is a very cheap printer, but it works well enough. I rarely need to print anything. My favorite printer was an HP laserjet 1200.

No, I had an HP printer once and it served me well. I just don't want to call the demons.

I finished the article and sent it off to the editors to go through peer review. Yay for finishing it! Eek for anyone else reading it.

You know a lot of us have been critiqued by classicists without also having made $1bn off a movie and we’re doing fine, so I’m not worried about Nolan at all.

Cool, another reason to avoid flying

I remember when school lunches were free just a few years ago. They were able to make school lunches (and breakfasts!) free for everyone. Presumably, they could do that whenever they wanted.

Canada, you're supposed to be better than us.

I don't understand why these books are still being shoved down my throat; they weren't even that good! How much more money does she need? Give it a rest! Let new, more relevant, less racist books with less transphobic authors get some publicity!

I have never bought HP-related stuff so the constant flow of supply is not my fault. Can you guys stop the HP market? Just stop buying the stuff. Boycott places that sell it. Email companies about how you don't like fascist TERFs with your donuts (or whatever they're selling you).

God, Tim Hortons! Geez! Wtf! And why can't people get over those fucking books?!

lol me trying to write my dissertation, a book of poetry, and the dissertation I *want* to write (as a nonfiction book but not as the dissertation I'm turning in) in the same time frame. BUT I would argue that it's a little sane b/c I can work on one thing when another thing is stuck.

I love that so many STEM people are liking this post. We all benefit from each other’s work.

Trying to find a short contemporary poem about the sirens in the Odyssey in which they sing the story of Odysseus back to him, which is what he cannot bear to hear ... anyone have any ideas?

I was going to say, this is like how people view politics like sports teams. You’re Team Republicans or Team Democrat, not “these are my values, which party currently aligns with them?”
