"[W]eβd heard that people were moving here just to be on social programs" is laughable as public justification for policy change. Evidence-free decision making, rooted in the tenet of the hypercapitalist: if you don't work to generate profit, you don't deserve to live. #abpoli #cdnpoli
Staying up late on a Friday night writing a Passion Play on spec

Saw a handmade sticker which said, "be here now" to which I involuntary, and violently, responded "You're NOT the boss of me!"

Normally some folks, not me, put up a strong border to prevent undergrads from hanging out in the graduate student lounge at my college. The exception is one random undergrad who we have, w/o discussion, adopted as one of our own. He's allowed to eat lunch here and we help him with his homework
Pilot and flight attendant on my morning commute subway clearly in love. Going to be a long flight keeping that under wraps

Small (?) thread of various extremely metal religious texts I'm reading while writing a paper for my Dying and Grieving course:
periodic reminder that paragraph-building is a reader's love language, and that the UNC writing center has a marvelous handout on paragraph-building.

I'm reading The Undercommons by Moten and Harney and I'm barely understanding it but loving what I am understanding.
Reminds me of an old TS Elliot line my mentor used to quote, "The meaning of the poem is the steak the robber throws to the dog so he can get on ransacking the house"
Not only is my schedule wack for the next six weeks but my focus in the next 2 week is my paper on end of life care so a quarter of the blocks in my visual schedule are labeled "death and dying" which feels... loud
There Will Be Blood is a beautiful picture but I will perpetually have feelings about how they skipped the second half of Oil! where the kid uses all his dad's money to try and build socialism

When we come to the table at communion we are coming to the table with everyone else who is coming to the table: past, present, and future. Every one is our sibling. We don't get to disown the wayward and claim the just. We are all sinners and saints both.
