Question: if you slip on ice and fall multiple times on your way into work, you’re allowed to cancel your classes and all your meetings and just go home and drink tea because the universe is against you, right?
Asking for a friend.

I’ve always felt that “abominable” is kind of an unfair way to describe the snowman of legend, but “abominable” is a really great way of describing really cold weather.
This morning I’ve had to respond to several students asking me if school is still open today (we got a little snow last night and it’s quite cold).
I was heartbroken to tell them that school is still open today.
Wrenches do not need to be connected to the Internet.
I’m currently trying to figure out the correct level of cracked that my office door needs to be in order to communicate “I am in here and I’m not antisocial, but I am actually antisocial and easily distracted so please don’t stick your head in to just say hi.”
Look, I’m not saying I have a bad feeling about 2024.
But 2024 is the year when the Star Trek:DS9 episode “Past Tense” takes place and it’s also the starting year of Octavia Butler’s “Parable of the Sower.”
Thank you for your email, but when I told you “let’s talk about this after the holidays” I was hoping you’d just forget about it.
2023 was wretched year for the world, here’s hoping that 2024 will be better.
I hope you and those you love are safe and warm.
Stay safe, take care of each other, see you in 2024.
Here, have some sleeping cats…
