<li>Working on getting off big corporate social media, still. I’m almost entirely off Twitter; I keep the app just because I have a few notifications set for when specific people tweet (mostly bands who tweet out tour dates), but I’m otherwise mostly on Mastodon (social.lol) and Discord. Cohost going down was sad to see even if I was never an active user and there were problems with it, but its downfall impressed on me even further the importance of owning your content — and it made me really happy to have this space for my thoughts and writing.</li>
|
|
<li>I got my COVID booster and flu shot on Friday, which put me out of order for some time. Glad to have them done, however; one day of discomfort is worth it!</li>
|
|
<li>The weight of being a teacher really set on me this week — not the teaching work, which I love, but the emotional weight of my students’ lives. It’s especially hard to see kids that remind me of myself at their age and wish I could impart all that I’ve learned — but knowing that there are no shortcuts and that the only way out for them is through. I can’t pluck them out; they have to live it. I can only hope to be there for them as they do.</li>

<li><strong><em>No One Belongs Here More than You</em>, Miranda July.</strong> This has been in my Amazon wishlist for I don’t know how long — long enough that I’ve forgotten where I’d found it or why I’d wanted to read it. I liked the cover a lot, I guess. Anyway, I feel this is suffering from my reading it so soon after <em>Death Is Not an Option</em> as I have much of the same opinion: excellent prose but turned off by all the weird sex.<sup id="fnref:1"><a href="#fn:1" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">1</a></sup> I find July’s narrators and conceits to be far more varied than Rivecca’s, but Rivecca never made me read about an old man who fantasizes about teenage girls, so I automatically like her better.</li>

<li><strong><a href="https://www.garbageday.email/p/meet-lochlan-oneil-the-creator-of">Meet Lochlan O’Neil, the creator of DashCon</a> on Garbage Day.</strong> <em>“I had to go to extensive therapy because I was like, “oh my god, I, Lochlan O’Neil, single-handedly destroyed fandom culture?”</em></li>

<li><strong><em>Pokémon 4Ever.</em></strong> Joe and I got our shit rocked by the COVID and flu shots and decided to watch this. Middling, but a surprising environmentalist message. I’m realizing how much of who Joe is goes back to Pokémon, of all things.</li>
|
|
<li><strong><em>Gilmore Girls</em>, season five.</strong> Joe and I went back in for a few episodes in our shot stupor. Still enjoyable, but we are quickly gaining on the last of the good episodes in my opinion.</li>

<li><strong><em>i,i</em>, Bon Iver.</strong> Not bad, but I like <em>For Emma</em> and <em>22, A Million</em> far more.</li>
|
|
<li><strong><em>Chants</em>, The Peripheral Ones.</strong> I’ve said before that this album is perhaps the most esoteric of my bullshit; it’s a cover album of a little-known<sup id="fnref:2"><a href="#fn:2" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">2</a></sup> Myspace-era band, <a href="https://themiddleones.bandcamp.com/">The Middle Ones</a>, done by <a href="https://pigthe.bandcamp.com/music">pigthe</a> (the guitarist for <a href="https://trustfund.bandcamp.com/music">Trust Fund</a>). The album is obscure enough that it’s not on MusicBrainz (I’m aware that I could add it) and the band has 23 listeners on last.fm. I love it and go back to it often.</li>
