I have a number of issues with this piece, but that line really resonated, and it’s an interesting piece to think with.

Honestly, Old Navy has served me well with work pants. I’ve also had last-minute success at Ann Taylor and TJ Maxx.

I already use a bit of “Sent Away” in my Policy Implementation course, and I’ll be incorporating this piece too — it’s a great and terrible illustration of judges’ discretion in matters of life and death. A very important story in a very important policy domain.

- Reviewer 2 dinged me for not considering the perspectives of Asian students, in a school that is less than one-half of one percent Asian.
Onto the next one!

Correct — the question is whether they’ll remain relatively infrequent and well-managed. I’ve heard about a region that no longer has any techs capable of repairing equipment that ATC relies on, for example. For now, though, it’s mostly a matter of increased attention on fairly common occurrences.

We’ve propped the bike back up against the light pole for now. Hopefully streets and sans doesn’t take it and throw it away again. We don’t have the heart to tell Gerard’s fiancé about this particular crash right now. It just feels so cruel.

Adding this to my “let’s think about “data”” week in class, thank you!

This thread makes me feel better about how terrified I was the first time I experienced a go-around (Midway, nearly touch-and-go, 2021). My lack of knowledge about what was happening definitely contributed to the fear, but also my memory is that the thing itself just physically *felt* very scary.

I did this exact thing last week and decided it was an invitation to read instead of grade/lecture prep/answer emails etc etc. Everything still got done so I think it was the right call.

I mean, the guy in black is wearing a jersey and bibs. We all wear whatever works best for us 🤷♀️ no judgement whether it contains Lycra or not

Anyway, Chicago is great and bikes are amazing (even/especially when I’m spending a lot less time riding than I’d like) and I love my job and I’m lucky to have every minute of this. Definitely have to do better on the work/life balance thing but this is a challenge I’m grateful to have.

The past two days have freed me from the jaw pain and headaches, but I’m realizing how much I’ve failed to show up for friends + family and causes I care about. Mostly recording this as a diary to myself: don’t start a new book-a-week 30p seminar the same quarter as overhauling a lecture course!

For the past two-ish weeks, I was grinding my teeth so much into my nightguard that my jaw hurt every morning. Bc academic life often means that “grabbing coffee” / attending after-hours workshops / answering texts+emails = work, I didn’t realize I was working 11+hr days. Unhealthy & unsustainable.

Also, this is true

The next train featured passengers smoking, spitting, and shouting. I really wish we had a reasonable public transportation system. I miss Bangkok.
