- asked my 5-year-old what she wanted for dinner and she said “not a burned quesadilla” bc in the summer of 2019 I overcooked one side of her quesadilla
- I don’t know who needs to hear this but living your life to the fullest does not have to involve hiking
- here’s your friendly dad reminder to cut a hole in the pumpkin from the bottom and not the top bc the still-connected stem will keep it from rotting sooner
- my daughter made her own jeopardy game but could only think of one topic 😂
- the “sex scenes bad” discourse is itself tired and bad but it led me to this so maybe I am thankful?

- it's ceased to be a to-be-read pile of books and has become an art installation on the passage of time
- professors, if a student you haven't spoken to/interacted with in 15ish years wrote to you and said "hey you were a great teacher I am still benefitting from your teaching, here's a small life update" would that be weird? would you assume the former student wanted something?
