I decided to use Storygraph this year to track my reading and I must say, I'm obsessed with the more minimalist design and the fact that ratings are deprioritized compared to tags/content... reading so many different books I wouldn't have otherwise!
This is going to sound so weird, but for the first time in my life I'm using only a paper planner and no calendar apps for schedule, and I'm more organized than ever. Though if I ever lose it, I'm totally screwed.
"it's not appropriate to threaten the people helping you with your project with an evil space laser if they don't meet deadlines" I don't care. EVIL SPACE LASER.
She's just the sweetest and most clever little guy though, can't fault her for not liking strangers (pandemic cat). She is getting good at tolerating more noise and movement (I do my Duolingo near her every morning. I hope she too is picking up some Greek.)
The cat I am looking after does not like my Doc Martens and did quite a bit of lunging and clawing at my legs when I wore them today. Like, okay, I'll stick to the Converse, but I think that reaction was a tad excessive.
Me: wow, I've made so much progress gaining her trust. She sits near me and doesn't even hiss!
The cat, about attempt physical violence because of my fashion choices: You foolish human are wearing BOOTS?!??!
Why are we taking pictures of bugs? What is the intent of the photographer? How does the bug feel about it? How do we feel about it? Your desire to be cool and serious above all hurts your ability to analyze and learn.
I did a metatextual analysis of Mystery Flesh Pit National Park in my higher level IB English class and one girl asked how could something that "scifi and stupid" could be relevant to analyze.
If you take away one thing from that course it should be "everything in our world is a text and everything in our world holds meaning, you just need to look for it". Prose, poetry, pictures of bugs, fashion shows, pencil cases.
