EA buying and then destroying BioWare sums up a lot of what makes me sad about now. Taking something good, changing everything about it and then rage quitting because it isn’t as good as it was is not great behavior

I accidentally skipped Zonderia so I’ll have to pick it up later. Anyway, Andy Warhol Never Gets Old. #nerdfarters

There was some smudging and I tried some acrylic paint to adjust but we’re speed running so there’s no starting over. Moonjoy #nerdfarters

I have some time to myself this morning and some after event sads so I’m speed running a little nerdfarter art. Here I give you a juniper chi #nerdfarters

I’m completely failing the nerdfighters thing but my life is very full right now. I’m drawing bats at a live in person thing this weekend among so many other fun and interesting not online social gatherings and school related responsibilities. So I’m not failing at life, or even art.

I have a cold and have reached the level of overwhelmed that is my average October.

#nerdfarters Hollywood, Ending. Juniper says this in the book.

My weekend is weekending. I’ll have to catch up on nerdfarters on Sunday

I’m always a little astonished when a student says my class is their favorite. Today I asked a student why and he shrugged. “It’s just a good class”. Been feeling overwhelmed and grumpy so it’s nice to hear. Honestly, I think it’s the other students but I’m still glad,

I made cardboard stamps and used acrylic paint #nerdfarters letterpress

Talk me out of the jean jacket! Where would I even wear it?

The number of kind, thoughtful men with terrible trauma filled pasts who have told me women have it easier and being a white man is hard, is concerning. Our discourse surrounding this rape story is absolutely deserved but it’s also not reaching the ears it needs to in the way it needs to.

I don’t know the answer. Just that the question seems more complicated than we’re making it. The venting is necessary and understandable… but also? I dunno. Not feeling great about it right now because it’s true that women worry about being murdered while men worry about getting their feelings hurt.

But the idea that all men are monsters doesn’t solve the socialization problem we’re having. I love men. I have loved men who’ve done monstrous things. They alone are responsible for those things but we need to change something fundamental and it feels impossible.

Happy Pizzamas!

I blought some cotton yarn and a box of cards with granny square patterns.

My therapist says feeling things is important but I wasn’t planning on feeling things today. Could we schedule that for later in the week? John Green books are full of feelings. I expected that. Just not these particular ones. But also, lots of quotable quotes. I wonder which ones will stick.

I hate that John Green could write this book because that means that he knows what this fucking feels like. But you know, good book. Bah. Not spoiling it, but damn.

Made a silly thing because I needed to make something.

I am a few hours in to Hollywood, Ending. It’s good but I went into it unspoiled (like John suggested) and I actually should have read the reviews. I kinda needed that bit spoiled. I’ll be fine but it’s just a lot for me right now. But I’m not kidding about it being good…

I’m going to need the print version so I can highlight and make notes- After I take a teeny break to feel the things about my most terrible thing.

This episode of humans was really interesting. I’m paraphrasing because I’ve got ten things going on this evening but Ted Dintersmith says…

Teachers are being held accountable to standards they don’t believe in and had no hand in creating… I agree. I’ll go in there next week and put the best face on a curriculum that is nonsensical in its sequencing and shallow in its scope because I can’t imagine doing any other job.

But I know both my kids and my content better than the admin evaluating me and much better than the district folks evaluating them.

I was having a hard time getting my afternoon workouts in. I whined about it to my friends and my therapist for weeks… then my daughter said, “look, the only way you’ll have the social life you want and still work out is if you go before work.” …

It’s infuriating but I got three thirty minute cardio sessions in this week because I got up at four AM and went to the gym. I am sorry to report that I feel better.

I’ve been listening to a lot of rpg lit books (not Dungeon Crawler Carl) and I haven’t been posting because I like them but I also have a lot of criticism. Now a friend has me starting the Wheel of Time so I’ll probably have more to say.

13 Sept

Just to be clear, you should read DCC. It’s entertaining and has a lot more depth than you think when you start the series

12 Sept

I wore my three John’s howling shirt and it occurs to me that inside every person there are two Johns. One of them is Hank. (I’ve possibly had some wine)

8 Sept

I generally hate fall but I’m so ready for crisp days and pumpkin spice… it’s 85 degrees inside with the AC running full blast.

6 Sept

Me when I’m too busy to breathe: I just need some down time. Me with down time: Thanks. I hate it.

Tim and Dolly in the same week? That’s just not okay

New little man passed all the tests today and gets to go home. Very excited and happy to welcome him to our extended nerdfighter family.

20 Aug

I maintain that he is still perfect but his lungs we’re having a bit of trouble so new grandbaby had to go to a nearby NICU. He has since been taken off oxygen and is doing much better. Has me thinking a lot about the maternal center of excellence. So grateful for all the amazing nurses.

19 Aug

New nerdfighter grandbaby was born at 7:00 central time. He’s perfect

12 Aug

Everyone is okay. Baby still hasn’t been born.

11 Aug

…and she’s headed to labor and delivery to get checked out again. It’s not even me and I’m exhausted. I’ll either be writing sub plans in my head while I drive for two hours or taking a shower and getting ready to sleep. I just want everyone to be okay
