I interrupted snuggle time to go get coffee, and, well, good morning from the saddest baby who’s ever lived.
Running late, bus so’s the bus! It’s MUGGY and I am already disgustingly sweaty. 🥵 #whatwriterswear #summerheat
Out of sorts this morning after concerning news about a sick parent, so here’s bits of my outfit while waiting for a bus and sitting on a bus. #TransOnTransit #whatwriterswear
The ‘90s called, and it said hey Old Timer welcome back 🧑🏻🦳🤷 #whatwriterswear
Getting my ID photo taken today, and thankfully my curls are poppin! #whatwriterswear
What horror movie image haunts you? The opening scene of Sinister, especially knowing someone almost died filming it. (They fired the responsible stunt coordinator on the spot, hired a new one, and shot it safely.)
Happy New Job to meeeeeeeee! Day 1 as a Case Researcher for Harvard Business School begins! #whatwriterswear
No cheating. Your last saved celebrity pic is your therapist. I’ll take Groff, or Groff-as-King, or hell, I’d probably take John Adams if he accepts my insurance.
KL Buying a Book Today: Oooh I love a factoid! I’m gonna be so fun at parties! Me Buying a Book Today: Oooh I love a 700 page deep dive into the worst things humans have ever done! I’m gonna be so fun at parties!
The cat, who has been sleeping in the un-air-conditioned cedar closet all day, is now mad at me because I won’t sit in and snuggle her.
Had a nightmare last night, but at least when I woke up, the cat was still out here catting.
Well, I’m a disgusting sweaty mess, but my office is all packed up and emptied out!
The provost gave me this plant to celebrate promotion to associate professor. I named her Kelly. Surprisingly, she lived longer than my time as an associate professor!
I needed a break from autonomous weapons systems, so I’m spending a chunk of the afternoon on a fun chapter proposal for @drstevemallory.bsky.social!
5 years ago starting my job at Dean College vs. today at my final NSO…what a change!
No, I can totally see how my experience as a professor and my degree in mass communication and media arts would prepare me for a mechatronics technician job. Sounds very legit.
