Sometimes, people will ask if I think I could survive a zombie apocalypse. Friend, I don't care if I COULD, I simply do not want to. If a Movie Apocalypse is happening, please know I am walking my happy ass into the ocean. I am not dealing with zombies or factions of any of it. Absolutely not.

If there is a sensation more deeply off putting than being unable to properly equalize just one ear and walking around with an astounding amount of pressure behind your ear drum... I am not in a place to hear about it right now, so please don't tell me. I am Struggling™️

To say I am obsessed *might* be underselling things a bit...

In the same day I had to explain discord to PCA's president-elect, and then explain that at least one grad student buys a physical program every year because my dad collects them. I really just wanted to argue about superheroes, I don't know how I ended up doing all this extra stuff. 😆🤷

The absolute funniest thing about writing my dissertation so far is that my darling dad just keeps referring to it as a "paper" I'm writing. Sir, that "paper" you keep describing is over 100 pages. #Academia #IShouldBeWriting

The number of things at my parents house where a guest says "Whoa, I've never seen anything like that!!" and then I have to explain "Yeah, my dad made it, it can't be bought in stores." is...too many things.

Some people understand that even shitty childhoods have shining, happy moments, worth remembering and celebrating. Like playing Monkey Ball on the GameCube with your older brother and actually being good at it. Anyway, @pathos-2.bsky.social made me cry yesterday when he gifted me this. He's a gem.

Are you trans and/or nonbinary? Do you cosplay? Do you know anyone who fits that criteria? Won't you help a poor PhD student out? Please take my survey!! (Or share it. With everyone you know. Please.) #cosplay #gender #transgender #nonbinary

If anyone tells me, ever again, that the 50s were some kind of idyllic time in American history, I'm going to direct them straight to my esteemed and terrifying friend in this 1956 community cookbook who thought the 2.5+ bottles of hard liquor needed the addition of THREE QUARTS of champagne.

Honestly and seriously, actually writing all 90odd pages of my dissertation proposal was easier than the nightmare that the paperwork has become. I legitimately finished the proposal over a month ago and am still wading through an unbearable sea of paperwork.

I'm fully 32 years old and every time my dad doesn't answer the phone when I call, I ask myself wtf that guy has going on that's more important than answering my phone call 😆😆

Everyone stop what you're doing. New album title just dropped. For real, I'm going to be thinking about this post for the rest of the month.

I decided, apropos of nothing, to become a hockey fan and root for the Kraken. Last night was the first game I've ever watched. They won. Coincidence?????? I think not. (It was very fun and exciting, and I WILL be watching more. Thank you, Seattle.)

I said it once and I'll say it again. Yes. Yes they are. If you are hoarding a resource people are dying for want of, you are a bad person. At some point, you had to make the choice that money mattered more than people, and you did. Sorry if that feels bad, but like...it's true.

I had an all-in-one desktop for nearly a decade before @pathos-2.bsky.social was like "I can't help this poor thing anymore. It was be kinder to put him down." He built me a new desktop from the recyclable parts!!

One of my favorite holiday "there are two kinds of people" experiences is that you can kinda tell what type of relationship people have with their dads based on how they interpret the lyrics to "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus."

Absolutely zero people are as excited for a T Pain performance as T Pain himself is, out here living the best life possible. What a guy.

Just in case we were wondering how I'm handling dissertation stress...I woke up from a dream today that I got my proposal back from the ethics committee people. Except I had written my proposal on Ted Lasso (which I have not seen), and the ethics committee was the cast of @dropouttv.bsky.social

For my money, Seagrams ginger ale will always be the superior Upset Tummy ginger ale.

I am blessed to rarely run into people I know in public, despite the relatively rural area I live in. Except my friend Lucy's husband. I run into that guy all the heckin' time and we just point at each other like the Spiderman meme and go "Hey!" He's a good egg.
