Look, fuck Trump and Pete from the bottom of my heart; but Mormonism quite literally does not fit within Christian theology because they deny the divinity of Jesus.

This doesn’t need to be a religious claim on my end for it to be accurate. Christians in the US only started thinking of Mormons as part of their club because they couldn’t stomach voting for Obama as the Christian candidate over Mormon Romney.

I had the first model of the LCD Switch 1, a friend had the OLED.

From what I could tell, the OLED model had a battery screen, felt a little sturdier, and seemed to run better.

Magic cards. Specifically old border black foils.

I worked as a substitute teacher in elementary ed when I was in grad school.

In that field, it often felt like I would get work purely because of my gender.

Grandpa on my mom’s side.

Dad’s a pice of shit, but Grandpa was always there for us.

Donkey basketball is enough of a thing that I’ve seen it played multiple times with my own eyes.

Although it’s mostly for comedy rather than genuine sport.

Shaman

Fairly pleasant, TBH.

I worked for a summer camp specifically for kids from some particularly dicey neighborhoods. Every so often I had to go set up shop in those neighborhoods to meet with parents and whatnot. Some guys in a local gang came to talk to me, learned I was there to offer something helpful to their kids, and from then out made sure I and my car were safe whenever I had to be in the area.

Nice guys, at least in the capacity I knew them.

It wasn’t written for them.

Do you live in a country or state where MAID (medical assistance in dying) is legal?

If you do, those laws allow for better than do-it-yourself options.

Why is it inevitable, exactly?

I haven’t exactly seen any evidence that human beings talk less today.

We’re plenty ashamed, don’t worry.

Been doing yard work for my grandparents most of the day. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday.

That all college professors are either liberals or communists.

I, for one, am an anarchist.

It’s more that the committee seems to have decided to hire their less qualified friend, but I’d bet money factors in too.

A college I teach for part time posted a full time gig in the department.

I fit every requirement perfectly and then some. I’ve been given a perfect rating on every evaluation I’ve ever had here from both admin and students. My classes tend to fill first because I’m known to be a better teacher than most.

My application was ignored. The job went to someone with an MA in our field (I have a PhD) who has been managing the student success center for the college. She took a pay cut for the role because she wants to go back to teaching.

The dissertation -> book project is a philosophy of technology.

The text book will be for world religions classes.

The project of cutting my dissertation down into a short book is almost done, and I’m hoping to start shopping it around to publishers soon.

I’ve also recently started laying out the bones for an open access textbook for one of my classes, which will be my summer project.

Stalker from 1979. Any attempt at it today would be a boring action movie with none of the original thoughtfulness.

Yes.
