false	what would it mean for us if i fell off this slide? (week notes 012)	week-notes	2024-10-13

I'm doing a condensed post this week because I have been so busy with work!

• Joe and I finished our rewatch of Gilmore Girls, and I'm happy to say that I still love the show. It goes downhill in season six and is borderline unwatchable in season seven, but I have such affection for all before that — especially the warm blanket, cozy autumn early seasons.

• I'm watching Joe play The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

• I haven't been listening to anything in particular — mostly shuffles.

• I did not have time for reading this week, but I'm so close to finishing The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating, and I intend to start Into the Wild next.

• I loved grubz's post about coming out. I have written on a similar subject here before, although their post has me also thinking about how the performance of gender roles in my relationship is, in many ways, queer.

• At a district-wide conference day, different teams delivered a training I helped develop. It's something I have been pushing for since March of 2021. In many ways, it feels like a culmination of that journey — though I feel mixed about how our administration has behaved about it — but I'm also trying to view it as just another step forward. We have so much more to do.

• I started planning (and inviting people to) my birthday party! I am turning 30 next month and have all sorts of feelings about it. A friend who moved away a few months ago (and who we have dearly missed) is going to come out for it, too, so I am really just trying to focus on being excited to celebrate with the people I care about.
