Started playing The Quarry this evening. So far I’m digging the spooky summer camp setting (and it’s a stormy night here in IA, so the vibes are perfect)!

Getting platinum was a nice start to spring break! Now to continue exploring and clearing out side quests.

I’ve somehow managed to play nearly ten hours of Horizon Forbidden West already 😅. An enjoyable start to the weekend!

Had a conversation with a colleague yesterday where we talked about diversity and inclusion things and he said, “Allies are great, but we need accomplices” and YES. Yes, we do.

New faculty orientation has been great! But the coolest thing that happened was being approached by a group of students who were on a scavenger hunt. They needed a picture with someone wearing a suit, and they picked me. Oddly affirming. 😌

@Losperman 😂🤣 I’m only laughing because otherwise I’d cry.
