I can’t ever leave tumblr because I just love the tag function.. no other social media platform allows you to heckle yourself on your own post. you get to preemptively make metatextual commentary abt your OWN POST. how cool is that

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

Drawing in mspaint? Cool, impressive,  But whenever I see that, I think about the person who makes their art in power point  Every time I see them it boggles me

Today I:

-got a few pieces of news about job prospects that were positive

-made it almost all the way through my list of things to scan, which I'm feeling great about

-returned the final books on my desk and it is now completely empty except for a green plastic dinosaur that was one of about a dozen placed around the department by a colleague who left the program a few years ago, so I felt it was not mine to take home with me

-had 3 different social outings back to back after leaving campus, which was very intense and included my first tearful goodbye lol I am such a weeper

#personal #good things #i am v tired #and don't have much of an opportunity to rest for the next week unforch #really looking forward to the vacation we're going to take once we're settled in

absolutely criminal how falling into bad habits is the easiest thing in the world while developing positive habits feels like fighting a literal war

Today I:

-coincidentally caught the same bus up the hill as H and got to chat with her before having a really productive campus day with two different coffee dates on either side of doing a full inventory of my desk and overflow shelf and then returning 3/4 of the books and taking down all my decorations. feels so surreal to be doing this...

-sold the table and chairs and got it packed away into the person's minivan and immediately used the money to buy a book, because I've been purchasing a few select ones to have with me at my parents' place to consult while working on the book proposal this summer and fall

-continued making progress with packing prep, including beginning to take the gallery wall down, and setting aside some items we're going to give to H because they were dreamflat objects originally and Jules and I don't need them

-had a 9:30 dinner reservation at the fancy italian place around the corner which is v authentic indeed, lmao, and also the only slot we could get, but we have a giftcard and want to see our friend who works there so we persisted with a late night out which has not been a thing very much recently

"Over the past year, NPR analyzed a database crowdsourced by thousands of hobbyists, looking to uncover the patterns, errors and problems with the country's markers. The effort revealed a fractured and often confused telling of the American story, where offensive lies live with impunity, history is distorted and errors are sometimes as funny as they are strange."

my hand-knit dallas stars blackout jersey (sweater edition) is complete! just in time for game 1 round 1 of their 2024 playoff run 💚

this project was such a labour of love and the pictures above are the culmination of three months of planning, two months of knitting and too many days procrastinating weaving in all the ends 🥲

if anyone is curious about the project details including yarn amounts or how i did the intarsia logo, please feel free to send me a message and i’ll answer as best i can (or will send you the link to my ravelry page for this project) ☺️
