    Unfortunately the Odradek I found was a paid placement so it kept recommending music videos from RCA records.

    I was so happy to "dress" as a Hideo Kojima reference for a game studies dissertation prospectus defense on Zoom today! Definitely we need more costumes for these meetings.

    This is the most Online 19 seconds in presidential political history.

    0:18
    Trump: That was a retweet. Guthrie: You retweeted it. Trump: That was an opinion of somebody and that was a retweet. I'll put it out there. Guthrie: I don't get that. You're the president. You're not like someone's crazy uncle who can retweet whatever.

    So my PhD student tells me about her fieldsite, which I can't visit owing to Covid-19. But I link some VR goggles to Google maps and have a look around the area, much to her surprise. `Cause that's how we PhD supervisors roll.

    Terrifying but important. I remember when there was a law that prohibited “advocating homosexuality” in schools and I couldn’t even *exist* as a queer teacher. I was afraid and repressed. Many of us remember being without the rights we have now and it’s devastating to consider.

    So. Real talk. I've accepted that ACB is going to be on SCOTUS. (We should still fight it, I mean, don't give up. The fact that you're going to lose doesn't mean stop fighting.) I'm not going back in the closet. So what does that mean for my possible future?

    is back on the list of states where cases are going up. A great time for the supreme court to invalidate our state of emergency. No emergency here, eh? Looking GREAT. (We'll be the only state without an emergency declaration.)
