the paucity of access to fried donuts is one of the things i’ve grieved most since celiac diagnosis. apparently there is a gf real donut place in Chicago and I’m seriously considering a 5.5h road trip this summer explicitly for the purpose of checking it out.

timed my ridiculous tv night such that I watched last night’s Love Island USA first, now starting the new Nine Perfect Strangers, and the new Love Island episode will be airing right when Nine Perfect Strangers ends.

Shannon Lay. I had not heard of her before she opened for Bedouine and I was mesmerized. Listened to Geist on repeat for a year and still listen often. I also now love her album Living Water.

had a singalong with my friend’s partner (playing guitar) over the weekend of neutral milk hotel songs and then we talked about our favorite late 90s/early aughts bands. it was very sweet.

I'm resonating with this view of education, time, and the collective work of teaching and my own approaches to teaching about and against GenAI with the hopes that students come to resist/refuse the technology's intra/interpersonal harms and planetary costs *and* come to believe in themselves.
