Oh. More than half of these things have been on my to-do list since August. Hm.

I'm mostly in the 🔵 ☁️ place now. I have a few codes if you want to join me.

@astrobiologiste Ouch. This is a person who has been hurt by analytic philosophy and needs to be welcomed back out of the box into the arms of continental philosophy.

Teaching tip: use a daily check-in (sub-tip: already be doing those) to ask students what song they have on repeat these days. Make a playlist of those songs. Listen while grading those students' work. ❤️ Let them support you through that slog.

@hanlafsalot Wild is the one I haven’t read yet. Will now! (I love this librarian too.)

[Karen Davis is @karendavisphd in the great yonder @asilversun]

Working at a public library this afternoon, I heard a kid talking about Shameless (with a plot synopsis) and a librarian respond ON THE SPOT with three recommendations of memoirs by women that tell similar stories, but are even cooler because they're true. Go librarians.

@heypoppyblossom Oh I’m keeping it. 😎

A neighbor who’s moving out put a rocking chair out on the curb. We don’t have space for it (and too many cat tails to risk it!), but I’m seriously considering borrowing it for the day to sit in the driveway and rock until I finish this grading…

[Karen Davis is @karendavisphd in the great yonder @asilversun]

Now I am old. Rocking chair old.

@hanlafsalot Two more papers and I’ll get it if it’s still there.

I used to think people get boring as they grow up. Now I think at least 70% of youthful sociality is actually wanting to be alone, but not ALL alone FOREVER, so you socialize just enough to find your person to bring home and be antisocial with.

@dustychipura Yeah. If I don’t roll out of bed and straight into the shower to kickstart the routine, I lose hours + have less will power later in the day because I have to *decide* when to get dressed, etc. Easier for those things to be on autopilot.

[Karen Davis is @karendavisphd in the great yonder @asilversun]

We with exercise.

Me: ugh I don't want to take a shower

*avoids showering for 3 days*

*finally showers*

Me: I LOVE SHOWERING. I feel so much better after I shower! I should do this EVERY DAY!

~ the next day ~

Me: ugh I don't want to take a shower

*repeat forever*

It’s a grand old team to play for. It’s a stressful team to support. 😳😮‍💨 #Everton #safe

[Karen Davis is @karendavisphd in the great yonder @asilversun]

Hmm. Have been asked for more on a subject I just published on. That’s good feedback! But do I have more? 🧐😬

[Karen Davis is @karendavisphd in the great yonder @asilversun]

This long boy wishes you a happy #caturday.

[Karen Davis is @karendavisphd in the great yonder @asilversun]

Oh. Well. Yeah.
