Nice! And not a bad way to fight evil

Sounds like things would be different if they were all just foodies. Like the One Ring would just be a bunch of garlic. And Aragorn’s whole “all that is gold does not glitter” shtick is really just about ginger.

Still, it’d be very cool to visit Hobbiton. Provided they have good snacks, of course

Me in the meat department, selecting chicken cuts: Top. Predator.

yes but think of what it meant for fossil fuel pric… oh. Oh.

No doubt. One of the greatest pleasures is getting to sit with and enjoy a meal you’ve constructed, especially with the people you’ve made it for (and it’s super cool if you were able to make at least some of it together). it’s about as joyful as it gets. Nice that you get to share that 💜

Goodness gracious, this looks amazing

holy cow, this is legendary coverage. Thank you

Sports but make it art.

PLEASE DO NOT JUDGE.

Seriously, as a caregiver dealing with prescriptions on the regular, I hope tomorrow goes well, way better than most of the fox and chicken scenarios in any case

Woof.

The birbs we need

Thank you for being that guy in this moment, and thank you for your service. For the record, I do not hate you and in fact I appreciate you. So be that appreciated guy, please

Feeling like both should happen, jmho, but won’t rest until justice is done, in any case

All pets are good, if appropriately loved. We can’t have dogs or cats right now, but piggies represent

Respect.

It’s amazing what a little mutual attention, and appreciation, can do!

Gratitude is a good thing.

Marisa, your reporting is essential and I’m sorry that guy went and showed his true character. One of you deserves respect, and that would be you.

It is the best. And then when they hit it…

Genuine LOL

Struggling to understand his motivation, tbh

(A) your photo is awesome. (B) Joshua trees manage to look cool in the daytime, too; in fact, they look cool all the time and we all should know their secrets

Cue the Rocky theme music

The ‘90s were weird.

to include phone numbers on our syllabi. I stopped doing it after that. Email existed but wasn’t a common way to communicate yet (no iphones, only mainframe if you can believe it). I wouldn’t have done it, myself, but could empathize at the time, and then understand the need to set a boundary.

Possibly pre-law, though I wasn’t aware of it at the time. I was a graduate-student TA, and I read the thing as a student having the confidence (both in himself and in me) to just ask, before he went out with his friends. Privilege plus consideration, in a weird blend. At the time, it was normal…

Oof. Extra oof because not surprising

The funny thing is I still remember that student with fondness—in a way I appreciated (and still appreciate!) how honest that student was with me—but yes, the big takeaway was never to share my phone number after that. Boundaries are good, important, and part of teaching

I once had a student call me at 9:30 PM on a Sat. before a Mon. final to ask what his grade was going into the exam (pre online grades days) because he was out with friends and needed to know how much time he would need to study. I respected that level of planning and never gave out my number again

I wish I could drink from that bottle. I do my best but definitely aspire to what your friend can do
