I'm just sausage fingering it through life. I'm sorry all the typos both literal and figurative.

I feel such a relief after defending my dissertation. It does feel a lot more like I have my life together. Defending and also all the class prep ive been doing has been a lot but I feel like i'm starting to gain a new mastery over teaching and preparing class materials that I did not have previously.

There is a ginormous catholic church here. I'm curious about visiting for one of their holiday events. Is there a particular event i should look for?

The thing is that normie types often have very little insight into how or why they do what they do. Because of this when they attempt to explain or offer advice it seems totally unhinged. They have no awareness of what's actually happening and are therefore ill equipped to offer advice or explanations of what's actually happening.
Deeply fascinating but also frustrating to have to deal with.
I should probably try to figure out flirting. I dont think i flirt much. I'm not entirely sure what it is even. I know jehovahs witnesses and our anti-male progressive culture were very opposed to flirting and sexuality, especially male sexuality.
There isnt much resources to help with that. Its just assumed you would do this automatically and that it needs to be suppressed.
I am going to start implementing choral responding in the classroom. Essentially its this call and response technique has been being used since ancient times, and is supported by modern behavior analytic perspectives.
Basically we'll have lecturer, and periodically I'll have a opportunity for a core theme of the lesson. Students respond to a prompt all at once rather than one student raising their hand and others observing.

I made more like 20k as a grad student.
50k is on par with real full time jobs.
It’s such an insult to the large swaths of the country who makes less than 50k full time to claim it is an injustice to be paid that much while getting an education that will ensure you are comfortable financially and among the elite for the rest of your life

I can confirm. Everyone is obsessed with hydration. Some of these things I've seen have to be 1/2 gallon to a gallon of water.
"Dark academia" is now "clean academia"... The students pushing clean living on campus. Gone are the days of all-nighters, today’s undergrads are maximizing their protein, tracking their sleep, and obsessing over hydration.

I suspect the same maybe true for me. While religion and religious books were the predominant influence my grandparents did have a library. We had a whole encyclopedia collection which I loved. We also had some large dictionaries that had pictures and some "how to to just about anything books". There were some books on birds and plants too.
I was never good at reading but I loved them none the less.
I so often feel overwhelmingly grateful that I grew up around books. Reading was all around me; I just took it for granted. I have no doubt that having books around and seeing the adults in my life read contributed a great deal to my own love of reading and learning.

Fascinating assessment. I didnt know that feminists tended to not like the Kardashians! Its interesting that they're super wealthy, seem willing to work with Trump and conservatives, and there's the whole Caitlin Jenner side saga which adds to the interesting complexity too.
Ok I’m further into Citizen Kim. One under discussed aspect of the kardashians is how they live in a kind of feudal family estate arrangement in giant houses all within at most a 15 min drive of each other (many are walkable) so their kids can all be incredibly close. The men in their lives are barely important to the overall arrangement, they come, they go, they’re not part of the structure Kris Jenner has created. They seem kind of broadly hated by feminists but in a weird way they’ve created the ultimate feminist utopia, at least as it can exist under capitalism. They’re completely financially free from men, in fact any man that even wanders into the picture is often dependent on them, and their kids are raised in a kind of sisterly hive mom way. I think because they’re hot or at least dress to appeal to the male gaze this aspect of their whole thing is never discussed but it’s kinda radical. They’re essentially “post men.”
