Hey Elon: Respice Finem.
I had lunch today with a parent who was agonizing over when to reveal that Santa wasn’t real to his kids and when I pointed out that his church has taught him the exact same fable about his god (don’t be naughty, he’s watching you, and you’ll end up on the naughty list and face eternal damnation instead of a lump of coal) he seemed genuinely shocked.

Me: Wanna take this upstairs?

Her: Mhm, but you should know it's my first time...

Me: Don't worry, upstairs is just like the downstairs, only higher

“May the road rise up to meet you” sounds a lot better than “I hope you fall on your face.”

My family is mad at me for upsetting our mother so I’d like to use the neutral members of Mastodon to tell my side of the story.

If I was 90 yrs old, 4 ft tall, & used a walker, yes, I would want someone to tell me my gold lamé fanny pack looked absolutely ridiculous.

Mary Poppins taught us all that the empty meaningless lives of the spawn of soulless bourgeois fucks can be redeemed but it requires witchcraft.

I have to commemorate this moment.

We had fire alarm today in the middle of my undergrad Jefferson & Hamilton seminar.

Huge numbers of people flowed out of the building & crowded outside.

Somehow, the bulk of my class ended up in a little circle with me. And they CONTINUED TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE READINGS.

This was a major I AM A GOOD TEACHER WITH A GOOD CLASS moment.

I'm going to save that for awhile.
