Saw a headline about the fact that many viewers of 47's little address approved of it/him. I would call that survivorship bias. Anyone with sense avoided it to save their TVs from ballistic damage.

ME: I had this great idea. So, I am someone who ruminates a lot-- COWORKER: NAHHHHHH, really?!?! I feel so seen. :D

I really need to appreciate my job more. Today I got paid to make up mnemonics.

I found a tan corduroy jacket at the thrift store, and it is hereby inducted into my Look. Rainbow Vans, dark pants, Hawaiian shirt, corduroy jacket, big glasses. My boss says, "I can imagine walking into a classroom and saying, 'oh, that's the calculus sub.'" 🤣

Student is wearing this shirt today. I LOVE IT.

This college is not about to be intimidated by the BS happening at the federal level.

To the rest of the world, from an American. Everything happening in our country is horrifying and disgusting. Whatever you have to do to protect yourself from our corrupt, loathsome, runaway joke of a government is A-OK with me. If I suffer, so be it. This cannot stand.

Don't judge the stitching on the inside too harshly! I was using a new kind of elastic and had to deal with some oopsies. But I LOVE this fabric. This will probably be my last pair of shorts for a minute, as spring break is coming to a close. It's been a heck of an education.

Hundreds of protesters gathered in Waitsfield on Saturday morning to protest Vice President JD Vance, who is visiting Vermont with his family for a ski trip this weekend.

My apartment's "newsletter" is so patronizing.

Last summer, a friend shared a post. It talked about how voting was pointless and they wouldn't be doing it. Almost all their friends chimed in, agreeing. Now this friend is posting updates about the horrific political climate. I want to say, "Where are all of your friends who didn't vote?"

After 3 trial runs, I have finally made the "cats eating ramen" boxers I wanted on Sunday. Much accomplish!

I am so grateful that my babies get along.

A million points for Griffyndor! By which I mean Earthbound Farm now has plant-based containers for their salads.

"Our Halloween party will not be safe for work," they say. I ask what that means - no response. A week later, "We're moving the sex party to this weekend." I decline. Nothing happens for a while. They invite us over again. I ask if it's another sex party. They say, "I'm asexual." WHAT IS ANYTHING

I have broad hips, a relatively small waist, and a big paunch. I need swim shorts that actually fit me. So I made some! (Don't look at the stitching, but they are functional.) Looking forward to going topless with these this summer. 🥰

Reminder to my American friends that February 28 is the day to NOT BUY ANYTHING.

Red Dead Redemption 2.

I just got a pair of glasses with rainbow frames. This to go along with my fade haircut (I'm AFAB). One of my acts of resistance is to make myself as loud and "out" as possible. If that makes me a target, so be it. I'm determined not to be afraid. We will not be erased.

You want to move. So you pack everything in boxes, put it all on the front lawn, lock the door, and throw away the key. You haven't even called a realtor yet. Is this not bananas? Because this is what DOGE is doing right now. "Ah, the new house is coming," MAGA argues. I'm skeptical.

Something I notice in right-wing comments about the federal firings (and the fallout) is that they are all mad. They are jealous that other people have good jobs, or jobs that give them time/resources to protest. You work a shitty job? I feel bad for you. But you're mad at the wrong people.

Jerry has decided that I should quantify my tutoring with a unit called The Learn. As in, how many Learns did you do today? I've only done one Learn so far today, but yesterday I probably did at least 50 Learns.

I was helping a student learn the pathway of lymphatic vessels and said we could come up with an acronym. Here's my contribution. I'm proud of it, okay? Congressman Votes Nay Very Tepid Democratic Senator

They are all too gleeful to mock and dehumanize people. It's sickening.
