Yeah if I thought there was even a 5% chance of being renditioned to Gitmo or El Salvador for the crime of leaving my passport at the hotel, I would simply not travel. This is going to kill tourism.

I am learning that seeing these photos never, ever gets old. I mean, the book isn't even out yet. But still. Just an amazing feeling.

I should have tracked the hours I've spent on talks and slides. It's most certainly not scholarship, but there is a craft to it. It's teaching, of a type.

I feel like the cybertruck's downfall is best illustrated by the resurgent Ford Bronco. It seems like car people with money to spend want something they can customize/individualize in fun colors, not something with the aesthetics of a kitchen appliance.

I am not at all concerned about this space being a "bubble" because I don't come here to debate or really to gain perspective or broaden my horizons. I connect with friends and sometimes read news.

I’m tired of these terrible depictions of higher ed in the media. One of the professors in Wicked is a goat?! That’s…well, okay, that one’s maybe accurate.

I went into the writing process wanting a book that people would pick up & read. Which is to say, I wanted readers. And so I was clear w/ myself & others that I was going to sell it so that it would get to readers. For anyone interested, here are some of my steps (many reflected in this article).

Very niche skeet but for any fans of Great Grandpa, they've released a long-awaited follow-up to their 2019 album. And it's great!
