teaching high school is just battling kids who are addicted to the instant dopamine hits from their phones and my weapon is early 19th century american literature. try convincing a 16-year-old boy that reading nature by ralph waldo emerson is a better way to spend his time than playing subway surfers & see if you don’t go insane

Owning a cat is doing what literal years of therapy could not do for me. This little animal routinely keeps me from spiraling, just by flopping her stupid little body on my keyboard. I love her with everything.

When I split my attention among multiple things, I enjoy none of them and only end up feeling disoriented and unmoored.

I will in no way be changing my behavior for the better, apparently, because I just found a note to this effect in an old notebook dated 2021.

It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.

Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real

There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations

Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that

The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.

There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)

The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.

Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.

Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.

it's not that I need a quiet day or a day off exactly; it's that I need a pocket of time that exists entirely outside of linear time as we know it that would allow me to get things done without time passing in the real world, and frankly, I don't think that's too much to ask.
