Watching Friday Night Lights, and it’s very funny to imagine how parents today would react if any of this happened to their high school kids

You should be grandfathered into whichever edition of CMS you used in grad school

Time for mandatory mass reëducation in poetry and poetics
New dystopian thing is going on vacation and being surrounded by remote workers on zoom calls
Thinking about how the business school has valet parking but I’m not allowed to buy printer toner with my expense account
